One problem with wheat germ is that it spoils easily. If you purchase wheat germ separately from the flour, make sure the product is fresh. It should be either vacuum packed or refrigerated, with a packing date or a label stating the date by which the product should be used. Toasted wheat germ has a longer shelf life, but the raw product is better because it is unprocessed.

Two different berries from the same berry plant have a different chemical makeup. In nature, things are varied, and the way we are supposed to interact with nature is to eat a varied diet. This is a protection mechanism. It makes sure that we don't get too much of one particular phytonutrient, mineral or phytochemical while simultaneously we get a broad spectrum of everything we need. That's balanced. We don't have to be precise about every phytonutrient. We just have to trust in nature and trust in the fact that we are supposed to eat berries, roots, vegetables, nuts and seeds.

This seemed to me a rather idealistic idea, but berry persisted: In the past, before agriculture was so industrialized, before we had all these tools to reduce the workload, we did our duty in our families and exchanged work with our neighbors. The rule was that no one stopped working until everyone else had finished their harvest. I knew people who were proud of having worked in all the farms of the area without ever receiving a penny. This is not capitalism; at most it can be seen as a strange form of investment: investing in the body of the community.*

I had confirmation of this when I interviewed the poet Wendell berry for a dialogue published in the cultural pages of La Stampa, and we turned to the subject of the economy of rural communities. He explained to me that in order to make a local economy work well, one must first think about subsistence and then, if there is any surplus, "use it for charitable work or trade.

Agricultural and gastronomic acts Wendell berry, fine poet that he is, has condensed into a single phrase the whole meaning of being a co-producer: "Eating is an agricultural act." We should adopt these words and make them our motto, for they condense the whole awareness that, by our choices as the final consumers in a long process that starts from the land, we influence production, the styles of management of the earth and the environment, as well as the future of farming communities.

I was in very good company: Vandana Shiva; Wendell berry, the farmer poet from Kentucky; Michael Pollan, of the Graduate School of Journalism at Berkeley; and Alice Waters, perhaps the most distinguished chef in the United States. My stay in California lasted about a week, and during that period I took the opportunity to find out more about the powerful local organic farming sector, and to interview one of the founding fathers of agroecological theory, Professor Miguel Altieri (see pp. 67-68).

An interest in agriculture, its evolution, and its changes should be a priority for everyone who eats: "Eating is an agricultural act," in the magisterial definition of Wendell berry, the Kentucky farmer, poet, and essayist."* But for many people that is not the case, and as well as harming ourselves and paying for it in loss of flavor and poverty of diet, we automatically become accomplices of the devastation that is wrought on the earth by the spread of unsustainable agricultural methods.

Nicki Engeseth, of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, determined the antioxidant capacity of buckwheat, Hawaiian Christmas berry, tupelo, soybean, clover, fire-weed, and acacia honeys. Using the test that is the gold standard for such research—the oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay— Engeseth found that the darkest-colored honeys, such as buckwheat honey, have the highest ORAC values, which are related to the amount of phenolic compounds they contain.

Yet there's a rich history behind this tart berry (Vaccinium macrocarpon), and many people have reported medicinal benefits. Although I like to see scientific studies, the many stories of its healing power added up to strong empirical evidence. Now the research has caught up with the folk history. A number of studies in the last decade have shown that cranberry is quite effective for the prevention and relief of urinary tract infections. Cranberry has long been used for medicinal purposes by Europeans as well as Native American Indians.

The fruit is technically a berry and is usually 1 to 2 centimeters in diameter and 1 to 12 centimeters in length. Although cayenne is typically red, other varieties of Capsicum annuum can vary in color from purple to orange and yellow. The common name "cayenne" was given to this pepper because of its cultivation in a town that bears its name in French Guiana, on the northeastern coast of South America. Cayenne and most other Capsicum varieties are typically moderately to very spicy. However, paprika is a milder, sweeter-tasting fruit produced by a different variety of Capsicum annuum.

Another great product is called berry Green, sold in health food stores. It combines organic, freeze-dried vegetables and fruits into a potent disease-fighting powder that you can add to all sorts of recipes. Supplementing your diet with whole food concentrates is the only way to get a sufficient quantity of phytochemicals into your diet, because these whole food complexes are nutrient dense. The water has been removed from them, and the resulting powder contains far more phytonutrients per ounce than the raw plant.

HOW TO SELECT AND STORE Formerly, nutmeg was almost always purchased in the form of a whole dried berry and freshly ground with a small grater. Today, nutmeg is most commonly purchased already ground— although once it is ground, the volatile oils responsible for its flavor and taste soon evaporate, so we recommend purchasing whole nutmeg and grating just before use. If you enjoy nutmeg, we highly recommend that you purchase a nutmeg grater, so you can easily get the most flavor from fresh whole nutmeg.

Black sapote (also called black apple, chocolate pudding fruit or guayabote) is related to neither white sapote (see Casimiroa edulis) nor sapote (Pouteria sapota).

Two types are grown: the common purple-fruited, sweet, black-seeded type (forma edulis, which has the flowers open in the morning) and the yellow-fruited sour, brown-seeded type (forma flavicarpa, which has the flowers open in the afternoon). The latter is also referred to as yellow passion fruit, golden passion fruit or guavadilla. Some other types of passion fruits are described under banana passion fruit (see P. mollissimd).

The fruit is a very large, rounded or oblong berry with a dark green to yellow rind (sometimes mottled or striped), yellowish or mostly red fruit flesh and numerous white to black seeds. Origin & history Watermelons originated in the subtropical parts of Africa. In the Kalahari Desert region of southern Africa, the San people used wild watermelon (known locally as tsama or tsamma) as an important water source during the dry season. In earlier times it was only possible to travel through this region during the tsama season.

Uses & properties The berries are used to produce "Aronia berry juice", a health product that is included in popular soft drinks. The main attraction is the dark purple colour, due to high levels of anthocyanins (natural pigments). Ripe berries can also be used to make tasty jams and jellies that are excellent with meat dishes.

They are kept for up to four weeks for the husk to dry out and the berry to fully ripen. Yields of about 1 kg per plant (20 tons per hectare) can be achieved. Uses & properties The tomatillo is often eaten raw, but the main use is as a vegetable and not a fruit. In Mexico, the popular salsa verde, a meat sauce, is made from the ripe fruits (with or without green chillies). The fruits are widely used as a vegetable in stews, curries, cooked meat dishes and soups; less often for marmalade, jams and dessert sauces.

Barley Barley (Hordeum vulgare) is reminiscent of the wheat berry, although barley has a lighter color. It is the fourth largest produced cereal globally, behind wheat, rice, and corn. More than 80 percent of the barley produced is used for livestock feed or alcohol manufacture. High in maltose, sprouted barley is the foundation of malt syrup, a much-used sweetener, and also for fermentation to produce a basic component of whiskey, beer, and a number of other beverages. A versatile glutenous grain, barley has a rich, nutlike flavor and a pleasingly chewy, pastalike consistency.
