The origins of Asparagus

March 30, 2020 //  by RethinkingCancer

The ancient Phoenicians brought asparagus to the Greeks and Romans.

The artichoke is believed to be native to the area around the western and central Mediterranean. The Romans were growing artichokes over 2000 years ago, and used it as a green and a salad plant.

The origin of Mushrooms

February 24, 2020 //  by RethinkingCancer

The Pharaohs of Egypt monopolized mushrooms for their own use. They thought they were too delicate to be eaten by common people. The Egyptian potentates did not understand the sudden, overnight appearance of mushrooms, and consequently believed they grew magically. By the first century B.C., the mushroom had gained such a fine reputation among epicures …

September 30, 2019 //  by RethinkingCancer

Blackberries are native to both North America and Europe, but cultivation of this fruit is largely limited to North America.
