The History of Fresh Produce

The History of Fresh Produce

What if you could tell the history of the world through the food we grow? The History of Fresh Produce explores the extraordinary stories of the fruits, vegetables and crops that have shaped human history. Join John Paap and Patrick Kelly as they uncover the surprising connections between fresh produce and some of history’s biggest events, most fascinating people and strangest moments. From the potato priests who helped transform Europe and the rabbit plague that overran Australia, to the cacao that financed revolutions, the plant that gave us the gin and tonic, and the farmer who became one of the most recognizable faces in the world — John and Patrick reveal the history hiding in plain sight in our fruit bowls, grocery stores and fields. Along the way, expect empires, exploration, science, politics, war, religion, trade, agriculture — and more than a few stories that sound far too ridiculous to be true. Because the history of fresh produce isn’t really just the history of food. It’s the history of us.
