== References Food sources==* Organic Vegetables : According to an article titled, "Fulvic Acid -- Is this the Missing Natural Nutritional Link" by Natural Matters, the use of farming chemicals like pesticides drastically reduced the amount of fulvic acid and other minerals present in soil. Since organic farmers don't use pesticides or other chemicals, organic vegetables are far more likely to contain fulvic acid than nonorganic vegetables. Due to the diversity of soil, there is no simple way to measure the amount of fulvic acid in vegetables. The best option is organic vegetables that grow directly in soil, such as potatoes and radishes.* [[Blackstrap Molasses]] : Organic blackstrap molasses is another good source of fulvic acid.
