Pick of the Crop

A selection of biographies of domesticated plants

This collection of ‘bite sized’ biographies is intended to amuse, entertain and educate by prying into the private lives of some of our most familiar foods. These blogs give a flavour of their bizarre love lives, investigates the complexities of their domestication and uncovers the political intrigue surrounding their trade. Pick of the Crop provides a wealth of the kind of information that is the essential ingredient of any discussion over a pint of beer, cup of coffee or rhubarb crumble.
