Book Reviews of The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods

Book Review: The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods
Summary: 5 Stars

I find this a wonderful asset to my reference books. I see foods as medicine and this is helpful to help find answers to those questions looking to meet specific needs, along side my "RX for Nutritional Healing"Rx prescription for cooking and dietary wellness. I also appreciate the other notes added for history and such, I would encourage this for anyone's library that wants to find nutritional references (Nutritional Highlights and Health benefits sections) to meet specific needs. Also tells you how to select, store and prepare, tips for preparing and safety. A large selection of fruits and vegetables and information I have not found in other sources. Plus some herbs and spices and even meats. Some health issues are also addressed. The beginning of the book also expounds on various nutrients and specific foods known to have them, so if you see you need B-1 (Thiamine) you will find a good size list of specific foods with that particular nutrient. If I were to teach a health and nutrition class, I would recommend this book for continual references, or anyone interested in using food as their medicine. Author also has good notes on his own references, so if you want to research something further you could have a good spring board to build from.
My personal desire for this book was for the extensive information on the fruits and vegetables, that stood above other references (or complimented) I have.The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods
