Edible History

The purple seeds of the wild chocolate plant and an international warning sign announcing an indoor corridor where the stinking durian fruits are forbidden are among the images on a site for a University of California course on the evolution of crop plants. The site includes outlines of lectures and ample reading lists, but the links to specialized sites may be the most fun for browsers. Try the Crop of the Day list, too. Select "Course Web Sites" from the menu on the home page.
