Only for the local part, not as it pertains to the vitamins. Notwithstanding, year-round most of the produce in large grocery stores isn't local and will never be.
- giantg2 4y agoActually, the stuff in the store has usually been in warehouses for long periods of time. During that time, they lose nutrients.
- slothtrop 4y agoSome, probably vitamin C. But that can be recouped with produce that always has lots anyway, e.g. tomatoes.
- giantg2 4y agoNot just vitamin C. B vitamins can be reduced by up to 70%. There is degradation with many other nutrients as well.
- slothtrop 4y ago"Up to" doesn't paint a realistic picture, but it's a moot point. Nutritional deficits in the West are a result of poor consumption choices, not the lack of nutrition in produce.
