Edible plants from America
Europe’s eating habits would be very different had explorer Christopher Columbus not set out to find a faster route from Spain to the Spice Islands of south-east Asia. Heading westwards from Spain, he set sail in August 1492 and arrived two months later in the Bahamas. Following his ‘discovery’ of the New World, the transfer of numerous plants and animals between the new continent and the Old World inevitably began. In this cluster can be found examples of native American food plants that forever changed the world's diet
