I was enchanted and began to notice other lacy flowers in my garden that looked similar—parsley, fennel, cilantro, anise, as well as Queen Anne’s lace on a roadside—they are all members of the same plant family, as it turned out. Similarly, small daisy-like flowers, whether blue, yellow, orange, enormous or very small, bloomed on lettuce that had gone to seed as well as on wild chicories, the Jerusalem artichokes, and, of course, the sunflowers themselves. Were they related? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey were, it turns out. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd did edible members of this group somehow share culinary characteristics as well? Often they did. That led me to ask, What are the plant families that provide us with the vegetables we eat often, what characteristics do their members share, and what are their stories?","brand":"Ten Speed Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46304566935781,"sku":"NP9781607742944","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781607742944.jpg?v=1767740311","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/the-longevity-kitchen-isbn-9781607742944","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
