Description
If, until a few years ago, the possibility of finding fresh fruit of all species on the market in all seasons made people forget the goodness and fragrance of wild fruits, the so-called 'minor' fruits, today - by virtue of a greater sensitivity to environmental issues and the value of biodiversity - these species, both wild and subspontaneous, are being rediscovered. In addition to the better-known blueberry, blackberry, elderberry, redcurrant and blackcurrant, it may be a pleasant discovery to read about the blueberry or 'pomo imperaiale', which is delicious in its jams, the strawberry tree, the leaves of which can be used to prepare a herbal tea against inflammation, the maraschino as a variety of sour cherry, sea buckthorn and its syrup... Hence, this publication is a useful tool for fruit growers, horticulturists and agronomists, but also for simple enthusiasts who want to know about the many varieties of 'minor' fruit, including their curative and dietary characteristics.
