Why it matters to include Vitamin 9 (also known as Folate) in your diet.
Conventional fresh food supply chains take days even weeks to get fresh produce to you the customer. As a result, a lot of nutritional value is lost due to natural decaying processes and vitamins are especially volatile and you lose a lot of nutritional value very quickly. Spinach can lose up to 90% of its Vitamin C content in 24 hours.
Because Nourishing Hub is local to the community we sell our greens still growing and you harvest when you are ready to eat, you have no loss of nutrients.

A note on Vitamin B9 (from healthline.com)
Folate and folic acid are different forms of vitamin B9
While there’s a distinct difference between the two, their names are often used interchangeably.
Folate is the naturally occurring form of vitamin B9
Folic Acid is a synthetic form of vitamin B9
Unlike folate, not all of the folic acid you consume is converted into the active form of vitamin B9
This is a cause for concern, as high levels of unmetabolized folic acid have been associated with several health problems.
