You don\u2019t need to speak Spanish to get the drift of it \u2013 big, beautiful berries, all due to AuxiGro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it\u2019s hard enough to determine what pesticides and fertilizers have been used on U.S. grown produce, it\u2019s practically impossible to uncover what has been applied to imports. We have noticed, however, that the imported berries in the supermarket are exceptionally large this year. Is that due to AuxiGro? We\u2019ll probably never know, but where fruits and vegetables are concerned, bigger isn\u2019t always better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">**********************************<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out a bonus secret posted at <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/saturdaysecrets.org\/saturdays-secrets-bonus-post\/\" target=\"_blank\">Saturday\u2019s Secrets here!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Testimonial AUXIGRO en Berries zona Jocotepec, Jalisco\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/37TEBMBNRhU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week we told you about a product called AuxiGro, a plant yield enhancer that contains MSG\u2019s toxic component MfG (manufactured free glutamate).
