The book by Russian naturalist Nikolai Fedorovich Zolotnitsky (1851-1920), author of the famous work "Myths and Legends of Flowers," contains fascinating stories, myths, and legends about more than 70 fruits and vegetables.

Zolotnitsky brings together fascinating knowledge about fruits and vegetables that are now considered native. But many of them were once truly exotic! Where did today's common fruits come from in Russia? What amazing routes did raspberries, strawberries, currants, cherries, and gooseberries take to reach Russia? What rare nuts and seeds were the everyday delicacies of our great-grandfathers? Finally, what vegetables and root vegetables formed the basis of Russian cuisine before the advent of the potato—and can radishes or rutabagas be considered "originally Russian"? Before you is a wonderful tour of the Russian vegetable garden, combining botany, history, mythology, and more. This collection features over 200 botanical illustrations, as well as masterpieces of still life and works by outstanding artists on historical themes.
