Sunscreen is not only saving you from burning this summer, it is saving your fruits and vegetables from burning too!
This summer is a bit hot and there are some droughts throughout the world and with the cost of production going up, our fruits and veggies need a little extra help! Fruits and vegetables can get sun damage too, making the fruit unable to sell.
There is this special sunscreen that was made to protect the fruit from damaging rays, but also allowing the necessary rays to penetrate and help nurture and ripen the fruit.
“Liquefied clay has been used for years, but now a California company (PureFresh) is finding positive results with an SPF 45 product made of multicrystaline calcium carbonate crystals that are engineered to specifically deflect ultraviolet and infrared light from the plants and trees on which it is sprayed. The product keeps out the bad light, but lets in the good photosynthesis rays that aid ripening”(ibtimes.com).
The sunscreen is being tested in Australia and Chile on fruits and also in California on nuts!
“Tests show its immediate impact is increasing yields by diminishing stress and heat-related defects, but officials at Purfresh in Fremont hope the product also can play a role in water and energy conservation by increasing a plant’s water efficiency”(ibtimes.com).
I hope this sunscreen will work, in order to help the farmers sell more and help us the consumer be able to buy more without higher prices!
