The world of fruits and vegetables during the mid 20th Century was far different from today’s world. The produce consumer today has a tremendous advantage over the shopper of those years. The quality, freshness, and presentation of produce offered today were almost non-existent then. New methods in farming, harvesting, storage, and distribution have provided the world with an abundance of produce we could only dream about then. Fruits and vegetables that were only available during harvesting seasons are now the norms year-round. Along with the introduction of these advances has come a great increase in the importation of exotic or specialty fruits and vegetables from around the world. These have combined to offer the produce consumer of the 21st Century a never-before-known cornucopia of produce.

"The world of fruits and vegetables during the mid 20th Century was far different from today’s world. The produce consumer today has a tremendous advantage over the shopper of those years.

Edition Notes
Mr. Heaton has produced an excellent guide on fruits from round the world. There is a remarkable amount of information for the consumer as well as the produce industry. The text is interesting, noteworthy, helpful and well presented. This consumer’s guide covers an exceptionally large spectrum of the world fruits as well as the better-known fruits of the United States. The presentation of these fruits offers a wealth of information to the consumer as well as the tradesman. It definitely fills an informational void created by the rapid expansion of exotic and specialty fruits in the produce markets of today.
