Brix is important!
think of it as an indicator of how healthy the plant was that produced your fruit!
the healthier your plants are, the healthier you will be from eating them.
From what I understand, you can buy fruits of the same variety of plant, but brix levels can be variable, based upon cultural practices!
Ive heard most of the produce we eat today generally has about half the nutritional value as it did back in the 1950's.
they've figured out a way to mass produce fruits for sale, but in the process have stripped some vital components of what I consider truly healthy produce.
I need a refractometer still.
maybe we can list some cultivars purported to have high brix!
like crystal honey (carambola, and loquat)
vista white loquat
smathers white sapote?
whitman green sapote? ( i remember an abstract about this one, sorry Paul, I know it's just some seedling from Bill's house)
any more commments or cultivars of high brix value?
