Domesticated plants and other mutants
by Iban Eduardo Muñoz (author) / Alberto Montt (illustrator)
Description
The evolution of edible plants: from the wild to the laboratory. It is a book about edible plants which attempts to answer questions that you didn’t even know you had. Have the plants we eat today always been edible? How have they changed throughout History? If you plant a Canary Islands banana in Beijing, will it still be a Canary Islands banana or a Beijing one? Do people eat the same kind of food around the world? How can one plant seedless watermelons? Could we get fruit to be fruity for ever? Wild plants: better or worse?
