Exotic fruits and nuts of the New World 1/1

A major reference work on exotic and underutilised fruits and nuts of the New World. While many of these are well known in the local markets and in Spanish-language literature, they have rarely been brought to the attention of the wider English-speaking audience, and as such this book will offer an entirely new resource to those interested in exotic crops. This monograph attempts to cover many of the tropical fruit and nut crops (belonging to Anacardiaceae, Calophyllaceae, Clusiaceae and Cactaceae, Myrtaceae, Sapotaceae, Solanaceae, Sapindaceae, Passifloraceae and Caricaceae, Arecaceae and other families) that have been infrequently covered in English. These fruits and nuts with further improvement have the potential for production and commercialization in other tropical production areas This book is a major reference work on exotic and underutilised fruits and nuts of the New World. While many of these are well known in the local markets and in Spanish-language literature, they have rarely been brought to the attention of the wider English-speaking audience.
