The fruits and vegetables that we see available for sale in supermarkets throughout the U.S. and Canada are usually the species of fruits and vegetables which are either the easiest for farmers to grow on a large scale, or the species which are the most cost effective for farmers to grow commercially.
While there has been an increase in the variety of species of fruits and vegetables which are now available in many of the supermarkets throughout the U.S. and Canada in recent years, there are still quite a few species of fruits and vegetables that are only available in specialty stores, health food stores, gourmet markets, and in the grocery stores in ethnic neighborhoods.
In the "Complete Guide to Exotic Fruits and Vegetables," Josephine Bacon describes a number of fruits and vegetables which until relatively recent years were not usually found in most of the supermarkets throughout the U.S. and Canada, Ms. Schneider describes some species of fruits and vegetables which are still relatively unknown to people who are not culinary experts, and she also describes some of the fruit an vegetables that you may likely find in grocery stores and supermarkets when you'll be traveling in other countries throughout the world.
In the "Complete Guide to Exotic Fruits and Vegetables," this author offers ideas and suggestions for how we may opt to include these fruits and vegetables in our salads, soups, entrees, side dishes and in our desserts.
If you're interested in expanding your recipe collection, and if you're interested in attempting to experiment with fruits and vegetables that you've not previously tried, you will enjoy this book.
