What is Brix ?
Brix is referred to as the ” sugar” or sucrose content of a plant or the produce from it, but this is a very incomplete view of Brix. Brix refers to the total soluble solids (TSS) in the juice of the produce or sap of the plant. Total soluble solids refers not only to sucrose (sugar) but also to fructose, hormones, proteins,amino acids, minerals and other solid found in plants, vegetable and fruits.
This means that the higher the Brix value, the more nutritious, healthier and rich in minerals the plant or produce is. Further, the nutritional value of the plants or produce is higher and healthier to those consuming them; or the beef is tastier because of the increased Brix value of the grass the cattle consumed.
Brix plant values can be increased by the use of the AGGRAND Natural Fertilizers
