About The Book
Updated and enlarged edition.
With more natural foods and organic produce in supermarkets, the new USDA Food Pyramid Guide, and recently published information on the value of nutrients and specialty diets, more health-conscious consumers are seeking information on selecting, preparing, and storing whole foods.
The author provides comprehensive nutritional charts and a complete discussion of diets, including vegetarian, macrobiotic, and the new USDA-recommended diet.
A special chapter on nutrients answers the frequently-asked questions What is it?, How do I use it?, How nutritious is it?, and Where does it come from?.

"A book that is not only useful but beautiful...It gives an astonishing amount of information about thousands of fruits,nuts, grains, oils, beans, and vegetables."
– Health World
"When faced with spelt, kamut, and bulgur at your local co-op do you know what they are and how to cook them? If you've been avoiding tempeh, miso, and shoyu for the same reason, you probably need this book. This is not a cookbook - there are no fancy recipes - but the encyclopedic knowledge it contains should encourage the serious whole food enthusiast."
– Rosemary Jones, Common Ground
