Brix is a measure of sugar.

To measure free amino acids, takes the ability to do extractions. There are
some labs that do this analysis, just don't know them off the top of my head.


Doing nitrate versus protein testing might also work. We've done a bit of
testing that shows vegetables, grapes and strawberry grown with healthy
foodwebs in the soil contain 3 to 10 times more protein than plants grown in
conventional systems.

No replication, however, sigh. Not enough money.
