Food Plants of China

The food plants of an area provide the material basis for the survival of its population, and furthermore furnish inspiring stimuli for cultural development. This book contains two major parts. Part I introduces the cultural aspects of Chinese food plant and the spread Chinese culinary culture to the outside world. It also describes how the botanical and cultural information was acquired, which plants have been selected by the Chinese people for food, how these foodstuffs are produced, preserved, and prepared, and what lessons the people of developed countries can learn from Chinese practices. Part II provides the botanical identification of the plant kingdom for the esculents used in China as food and/or for beverage. The plants are illustrated with line drawings or composite photographs. more
