This episode, Kiona and Luis pull up a world map to trace the unique routes of the world’s favorite starchy fruit, from Polynesia to Portugal, then throughout Africa and the Americas. We also go into one of our favorite subjects, linguistics, to explore the origins of the many words for this fruit in different languages around the world.
