Ep 1399 Food: Why Not Nuts?

When I walk the neighborhood in the autumn, I often pass under a mighty oak, and through an ankle-deep blanket of acorns.  All that neglected plant protein leads me to ask:  Why not nuts? The Food Chain Radio Show - Podcast with Michael Olson hosts Elspeth Hay, Author, Feed Us With Trees:  Nuts and the Future of Food, for a conversation about the past, present and future of nuts as food. Topics include how early were sustained through the culture of nut agriculture; how nut agriculture was subsumed by grass agriculture; and how nut agriculture might provide a foundation for the future.
