Bizarre Edible Plants, unknown delicacies

A UNIQUE BOOK, THE RESULT OF YEARS OF TRAVEL!
Joseph Simcox, the ‘Botanical Explorer’, and his team have been traveling the world for years in search of edible wild plants. During more than 500 expeditions, he has explored over 140 countries, personally tracking down, documenting, and eating these plants.
Thanks to his efforts, hundreds of species of previously little-known plants are now being cultivated and/or harvested in botanical gardens, nurseries, farms, and gardens around the world.
For the first time, Simcox publishes a fragment of his extraordinary findings. The original text was first published by Straight Books in Japanese. In this new English edition, Simcox introduces 72 beautiful and little-known plants from all over the world. He describes the location where he discovered each species, explains which part of the plant is edible (fruit, leaves, tubers), how it should be prepared, defines the taste, and provides striking remarks about each of them.
Simcox's book opens a window to a world of immense delight, one that points to a completely different path for the future of humanity: diversity. In our (Vreeken's Zaden) assortment, you will find many of the species that Joseph has rediscovered. Every species he has brought from a certain environment is generously compensated to the local population.
