How to Pick a Peach（ISBN=） 英文原版

　　”Eat locally, eat seasonally.” A simple slogan that is backed
up by science and by taste. The farther away from the market
something is grown, the longer it must spend getting to us, and
what eventually arrives will be less than satisfying. Although we
can enjoy a bounty of produce year-round — apples in June,
tomatoes in December, peaches in January — most of it is lacking
in flavor. In order to select wisely, we need to know more. Where
and how was the head of lettuce grown? When was it picked and how
was it stored? How do you tell if a melon is really ripe? Which
corn is sweeter, white or yellow? Russ Parsons provides the answers
to these questions and many others in this indispensable guide to
common fruits and vegetables, from asparagus to zucchini. He offers
valuable tips on selecting, storing, and preparing produce, along
with one hundred delicious recipes. Parsons delivers an
entertaining and informative reading experience that is guaranteed
to help put better food on the table.
