A number of scientific studies have reported a marked reduction in the levels of some nutrients in a variety of major crops over the past 60 years.
In one British study, researchers compared the mineral composition of historical grain collections over a 160 period. They found that while between 1846 and the mid 1960's mineral content remained stable, since that period some key nutrients have seen a significant decrease. This fall coincided with the introduction of high-yielding cultivars.

Queen Victoria's favourite fruit. These intensely fragrant berries somehow manage to combine the flavours of wild strawberries, pink guavas and a hint of candy floss. Easily the ultimate foodmile-free exotic fruit.
Doll's house-sized 'watermelons' that taste of pure cucumber with a hint of lime. These little guys are officially the cutest food known to man & oh-so-easy to grow, even for real beginners. Let me show you how to get started.
Hailed as a 'superfood' on the grounds of their antioxidant content, what most non-geeks don't know about blueberries is that their levels of these health promoting compounds actually vary dramatically between cultivars. Some trays on the supermarket shelf may contain far more than nearly identical trays right next to them!
The homegrown variety 'Rubel', for example, delivers three times the antioxidant payload of supermarket staples like 'Bluecrop'. With these easy-to-grow plants capable of kicking out up to 6kg of berries per year (worth £80 in supermarkets) it's a real no brainer....
