Eating on the Wild Side; the missing link to optimum health by Jo Robinson

This is an eye-opening book and will change the way you shop for food.  You may already know that the dark leafy lettuces have more nutrients than the light-colored varieties. But which apples have the most nutrients.  But did you know that our tendency to breed varieties of fruits and vegetables for higher sugar content often decreases the level of vitamins, antioxidants and minerals?  Robinson describes how our modern fruit and vegetable varieties were developed from their wild parents, often to withstand being stored for weeks before purchase.  She reviews the research on the most nutritious varieties, and provides lists to use when shopping, whether at the grocery store or farmer's market.  400 pages.
