This title is strictly analytical, not a culinary guide. It will frustrate home cooks seeking recipes and ingredient substitutions, as it focuses on economic and ecological data rather than preparation methods. However, for agriculturalists, historians, and policy makers interested in the commercialization of indigenous flora, it offers a dense, structured overview.
