BRIX is a measure of all dissolved solids in a liquid or sap, not just sugar. Add salt incrementally to water, and watch the BRIX readings rise. For more detail, see http://bionutrient.org/site/bionutrient-rich-food/brix. I think you think that farmers and consumers use BRIX for the same reason that winemakers use Baume' where they only focus on sugar levels
