This review is from: Encyclopedia of Fruits, Vegetables, Nuts and Seeds for Healthful Living. (Hardcover)

This book has been an invaluable A to Z reference guide for me over the years. Each item listed in the encylopedia is alphabeticized with its botanical info, nutritive values, reported health benefits, as well as 1 or more ways of preparing the item all in one easy to read quick guide. It has been my number one source for my understanding and preparation of vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds including those I wasn't aware of. There is also a Part I that describes (also aphabetically and in easy to read format for the generally sophisticated reader) the components of the medicial and healing agents in the foods and their corresponding description, such as descriptions of vitamins, fats, acidity, enzymes and more along with the effect on the body. I would like to see this version or another similar guide expanded upon and updated while keeping witin the format simply readable as Joseph M. Kadans, PhD has done.
