Food, where it comes from and how it gets to our table - Minoglio Andrea

Food can tell many remarkable stories. In this book, children will discover the most interesting of them. It learns how long the food has to travel before it reaches your table. The book provides clear and illustrative explanations, supplemented by beautiful illustrations, through which you will find out where and how individual raw materials are grown or obtained, what procedures are used in their processing and how products are made from them that we then eat or drink.

The book features chocolate, tea, honey, rice, cheese, peanut butter, cotton candy and more. Did you know, for example, that real vanilla, the taste of which you know from sweets, is actually obtained from a single orchid? That the popcorn that you like to munch on, for example, in the cinema, are kernels of corn that have literally exploded with heat? Or that the main pollinators of the pineapple tree in nature are hummingbirds?
