Nutritional experts are urging Americans to eat more fruits and vegetables. Some of us actually are following the advice. So wouldn’t it be great if there was a natural compound that caused fruit to ripen more quickly and last longer on grocers’ shelves and in our refrigerators? UW-Madison horticulturists have identified just such a compound. …
Scientists at UW-Madison have found that the amount of folic acid in beets can be increased through breeding, and that beets harvested later in the growing season contain the highest amount of the nutrient.
