Why is BRIX Used to Measure Plant Quality?

The BRIX Value has become the GOLD standard to measure plant quality. But why is BRIX used to measure plant quality?

There are numerous advantages to a higher BRIX LEVEL… TASTE, AROMA, NUTRITION.

Taste reflects nutrition. Higher BRIX VALUES significantly increase the taste, plant sugars, proteins, amino acids, minerals, and vitamins.

Higher BRIX levels produce a sweeter tasting, more “mineral nutritious” fruit, vegetable, or feed for cattle with lower nitrates and water content and better storage attributes. Animals on high BRIX pasture are much healthier.

Crops with higher BRIX VALUES will produce more alcohol from fermented sugars and be more resistant to insects resulting in a 90% decrease in pesticide and other “ides” usage.

Crops with a higher BRIX content will have a lower freezing point and be less prone to frost.

The higher the carbohydrates in the plant juice, the higher the mineral content of the plant, the oil content of the plant, and the protein quality of the plant.
