Used Book in Good Condition
Adam Leith Gollner's book, "The Fruit Hunters," has a whole chapter dedicated to this 'miracle fruit,' and why it hasn't taken off in the marketplace yet as a sweetener. Gollner's book also talks about his adventures travelling around the world to try fruits right off the tree that you can't get in North America (or that taste totally different, i.e. worse by the time they arrive here), that weird Grapple thing, and why it is that we only see the same handful of fruits in supermarkets all across the country. There's also a related documentary; I've never seen it, but there you go.
The Fruit Hunters by Adam Leith Gollner.
The business of food is my #1 favorite thing to read about, and this book didn't disappoint. I had no idea there were so many varieties of fruit, or that nearly every fruit you find in a typical supermarket is selectively-bred pale imitation of what the fruit is like in nature.
