You may have heard about endangered species of the animal kingdom but did you know there are also wild, native foods that are also worthy of our protection?
With the keen eye and palate of of a culinary historian and the spirit of an intrepid adventurer, Sarah recounts her five-year research project and shares her learnings with us in Endangered Eating, America's Vanishing Foods.
The changing landscape of farming and agriculture, the effects of climate change and an insatiable global demand for special foods are all reasons why some foods are at risk of dying out. Sugarcane, dates, wild rice, Navajo sheep, and some heritage apple varieties are just a few foods that have fallen on hard times. The news isn't all bad, as Sarah found out on her cross-country journey, because there are people who are working to protect and revitalize these foods through study and careful management.
This episode is made possible with support from Chef Douglas Katz, and in partnership from The Van Aken District and Cookin' Genie.
