paleo plant nutrient levels
One thing I don't hear anyone talking about in regards to the paleo diet is this: ancient vegetable foods were small compared to today which means much higher surface area to volume. This means lower carbs to nutrient ratio (including proteins). Strawberries 1/4 today's radius would have 4 times more seeds (on the surface) per calorie. Grapes 1/3 the current radius would have 3 times the surface area per carb, containing most of the sun-hardened colorful phytochemicals including resveratrol.
