In the 19th century, American meals were about subsistence, not enjoyment. But as a new century approached, appetites broadened, and David Fairchild, a young botanist with an insatiable lust to explore and experience the world, set out in search of foods that would enrich the American farmer and enchant the American eater. Kale from Croatia, mangoes from India, and hops from Bavaria. Peaches from China, avocados from Chile, and pomegranates from Malta. But Fairchild's finds weren't just limited to food.

The kinds of plants and the countries they came from and the adventures and dangers acquiring them, the wonderful research for the book and devotion of the ones (especially Fairchild) who searched out those plants and helped the economics of the United States with new crops.
