In The Seed Detective, seed guardian and award-winning film and television producer Adam Alexander tells of his far-flung seed-hunting adventures, revealing the surprising histories behind many of our everyday vegetables. How the common garden pea was domesticated over 8,500 years ago; that the first carrots originated in Afghanistan (and were actually purple or red in color); how Egyptian priests considered it a crime to look at a fava bean and the Romans were fanatical about asparagus. Through tales of globalisation, political intrigue, colonization and serendipity, Adam shows us the vital role vegetables have played in our food story--and how they are the undeniable key to our future"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 635.09 Al Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 635.09 Alexander Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 635.09 Al Checked In Add Copy to MyList
