Product Description

Something is being done to the food we eat. Much of our food is being bioengineered with genes from other life forms and presented to us without identification and with almost no examination of possible consequences. The Whole Organic Food Book provides insight and inspiration for those wanting to grow and eat food that is pure and natural. Whole-food guru Dan Jason encourages and instructs us on ways to regain control of our food supply through sensible, natural gardening techniques. Jason offers growing tips and loads of helpful hints on how to increase diversity and productivity in your garden. Also included are many healthy, delicious recipes featuring whole, unprocessed crops - grains, legumes and vegetables - you can produce from seed. This book will help you enjoy the tasty, nutritious benefits of organic food - food that is good for the soil and good to eat.

4.0 out of 5 stars fine organic book, January 18, 2007

By	JTG (St. Pete, FL) - See all my reviews

this book had many topics that aren't often covered, such as quinoa and amaranth. it also discussed in great detail the horrors of conventional agriculture. my only disappointment was in the lack of pictures to better explain the methods of dealing with the supergrains i'm not familiar with.
