It reads like a catalog but has lots of info on especially health cultivar of many fruits and vegetables. Also contains fun facts like some vegetables and fruits improve micro-nutrients and antioxidants (but not all). Great resource on what to buy and how to store to maximize healthful properties. ( ) This is a practical book on the nutrition contained in our produce. She describes how our fruit and vegetables began, the changes that have taken place either by accident or by human intervention, and whether those changes improved them nutritionally or not. She also tells us how to pick more the more nutritious food in our stores, farm markets and which to grow. This is a reference I want to keep. I expected this book to advocate eating dandelions and "wild" foods picked in the woods. Not so! It's actually about the nutrition in the vegetables and fruits we typically purchase and eat, and more about what you can find in the produce section of your local grocery store. Ms. Robinson discusses the nutrition in lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, apples, potatoes, oranges, broccoli, beans, etc. and tells how to pick the most nutritious varieties, how to store them, and how to cook them for the most nutrition. There's a heavy emphasis on bionutrients, anthocyanins, and antioxidants, which I understand is actually more controversial than the book discusses. I thought that heirloom varieties are always more nutritious, but that's not always the case - and yes, dandelions are mentioned, but she doesn't spend much time on it. And for the gardeners, nutritious varieties are listed. I borrowed the kindle version from the library but this is a book I want to own and be able to reference on a regular basis - there's just too much good information here to be able to remember it all. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
