What are Food Minerals?

Food minerals are those minerals that begin in the ground or sea and are tiny enough for microorganisms to eat as food. Once eaten, plant roots find the microorganisms and eat them as their food. This is where our nutrient dense food comes from.

  • Enzymes need minerals to build strong healthy life forms, whether plant, animal or human bodies.
  • Minerals and enzymes go together to make all of us look beautiful and feel strong.
  • Minerals are a major part of every cell in all life forms and the larger variety we have in our food, the more vibrant we all appear.

Are They Special Minerals?

I say yes because I want the largest variety in the foods I eat. It's not as easy to get them as you may imagine.

  • Microorganisms end up having to break down rocks into rock dust when not readily available.
  • The oceans are made of microscopic minerals which feed the smallest microorganisms so it's easy for them.
  • Ocean water, provided by Ocean Grown is now used as a fertilizer for gardens and farms since it contains all the known minerals, plus those not even recognized yet.
  • Finely ground rock dust can be purchased from cement factories to mix with other components of a good growing soil for the home garden.
  • The "special minerals" definitely come from the sea because that is where the largest variety are found.

Do all Foods have Minerals?

Yes. Some foods more than others. Many people have gone to mineral supplementation to meet their supposed needs.

I prefer to follow the normal food chain when looking for my minerals. The minerals are eaten by microorganisms and then the microorganisms are eaten by plants making them available to us. The larger variety of minerals you have, the greater variety of nutrients can be made in the plants. Here's how it works...

The microorganisms and the minerals go together in making the basic unit of living cells which is protoplasm. The minerals have now become food minerals.

Definition:

Protoplasm - 1. a complex translucent colorless jelly regarded as the physical basis of all living matter and life functions.

Reference: http://www.wordsmyth.net

Protoplasm results from microorganisms and minerals getting together, which can be taken in by plant roots as food.

  • All foods contain protoplasm which are enzyme protein molecules, whether fruits, vegetables, animal meats, fish or poultry.
  • Enzymes are the life force in protoplasm doing the work.
  • Good healthy soil contains fine powdery minerals easy for the microorganisms to eat.
  • Where you find the earth as large pebbles, rocks and bolders, microorganisms do not flourish significantly as it takes them longer to breakdown the rock material into the dust they require as food.
  • When fine powdery minerals are given to soil, microorganisms and these minerals help create enzyme rich plant life to grow in abundance.
  • A larger variety of minerals in the soil results in more protoplasm and more enzymes.
  • Providing a few minerals in the soil will produce something but healthy plants are built with more than just a few minerals.
  • The larger the variety of minerals, the larger variety of enzyme processes can be done resulting in more wholesome, nutrient dense foods.
  • There are thousands of life processes within all plants, animals, fish, poultry and human bodies depending on enzymes and food minerals to function normally.

Ensuring that high quality protoplasm exists in our food as nutrient rich proteins, we end up with life forms that are vigorous, and robust.

Where do You get Food Minerals?

Enzymes and minerals come from sound, ethical farming practices. On land we have the small farmers who love their work and know the value of the food they produce for human consumption. In the ocean we have the ethical fisheries manned by people who care about the ocean and their resulting customers.

There are also good food mineral supplements on the market as well. I look for mineral supplements just as I do my foods. I want them to come from foods grown on good soil or in oceans where the largest variety of minerals and microorganisms get together.
