tropical gardeners and cooks: some useful links
Comments (0) It occurred to me that it might be helpful to other tropical home kitchen gardeners and cooks to share some of the great online resources that I tap into when researching ingredients, so here is a start to some of the sites I visit:
http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/
Home page for the Purdue University New Crop website which has an enormous amount of information and links, some of which are below.
http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/parmar/index.html
An online copy of the Indian book Wild Fruits
http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/index.html
An online copy of Julia Morton’s classic reference for tropical and sub-tropical fruits, Fruits of Warm Climates
http://www.dpi.qld.gov.au/documents/Research/Qld-Tropical-Fruit.pdf
A downloadable PDF by the Queensland Government with a nutritional summary of a range of tropical fruit.
If you have an interest in in-depth information on particular tropical food plants, both introduced and native to Australia, it is worth searching through the reports and publications produced by RIRDC.
