Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 5 years ago
This is a extremely readable book about many of the common vegetables we eat and how we got from the wild version to what we currently find in the produce section or farmers market. There are tons of simple-to-make changes that are useful for optimizing health and a wonderful format in which there are summary points at the end of every chapter. If you enjoy gardening, there are suggestions for what seed varieties to look for. As a nurse and someone who is very drawn to learning about health and optimizing well-being, I wanted to own and be able to re-read this book as well as share it with family and friends.
