The origins of Asparagus

March 30, 2020 //  by RethinkingCancer

The ancient Phoenicians brought asparagus to the Greeks and Romans. It was described in the sixteenth century by the English writer Evelyn as “sperage,” and he said that it was “delicious eaten raw with oil and vinegar”. When selecting asparagus, choose spears that are fresh, firm, and tender (not woody or pithy), with tips that …

The origins of the Artichoke

March 16, 2020 //  by RethinkingCancer

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. Artichokes were brought to England in 1548, and French settlers planted them in Louisiana in the mid-nineteenth century. California is …

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 …

The origins of Endive and Escarole

December 9, 2019 //  by RethinkingCancer

Native to the East Indies, endive and escarole were introduced into Egypt and Greece at a very early period and references to them appear in history. The plants were brought to America by colonists. Endive is closely related botanically to chicory and the two names are sometimes incorrectly used as synonyms. Escarole is another name …

The origin of Lima Beans

August 19, 2019 //  by RethinkingCancer

Records found in old Peruvian tombs show that lima beans have been around for centuries. European explorers found this vegetable in Lima, Peru, and this is where the name comes from.

The Origins of Beets

August 12, 2019 //  by RethinkingCancer

The beet has been cultivated for its roots and leaves since the third or fourth century B.C. It spread from the area of the Mediterranean to the Near East.

The origin of the Cucumber

July 15, 2019 //  by RethinkingCancer

The cucumber is said to be native to India, although plant explorers have never been able to discover a wild prototype. Cucumbers have been cultivated for thousands of years, and records indicate that they were used as food in ancient Egypt, and were a popular vegetable with the Greeks and Romans. The cucumber is one …

The origins of the Pea

May 27, 2019 //  by RethinkingCancer

Evidence shows that the pea has been around since prehistoric times. Although the pea is of uncertain origin, it is probably native to Central Europe or Central Asia.
