In this thrilling and easy to read book, Wolf-Dieter Storl, the great connoisseur and explorer of healing plants and crops, presents 50 garden vegetables, including some rare and forgotten vegetable and salad plants. A unique combination of gardening, ethno- botany, cultural history, and ancient as well as recent medical findings.
