Illustrated Inventory of Fruits and Vegetables

Illustrated Inventory of Fruits and Vegetables brings together a hundred delicious and nutritious snacks: edible plants that can be eaten raw or cooked. Fruits, stems, bulbs, roots, seeds, leaves, flowers, including products -such as teas, coffees, jams or chocolates- that are obtained from their raw materials. There is also no shortage of spices, mushrooms and algae. Some are as common as grapes or potatoes, as exotic as carambola, or with names as suggestive as the golden needle. This work, under the scientific supervision of Dr. Paule Lacroix, agricultural engineer, allows us to distinguish between the botanical concept of the plant and the culinary term that arises from its preparation for human consumption. And above all, it helps to value biodiversity, sustainability and healthy eating. Author: Aladjidi, Virginie | Illustrator: Tchoukriel, Emmanuelle
