The Fruit and Veggie Hunter: The Man Who Is Documenting The World's Amazing Fruits and Vegetables

This week we have an extraordinary guest on the show with a fascinating mission in the world of fresh fruits and veggies. This man has to be one of the foremost experts, if not THE foremost expert, on the amazing diversity of edible plants that mother nature has to offer. Bob Harrington is the president of Specialty Produce, a wholesaler of fresh fruits and vegetables primarily to restaurants in San Diego, CA. They sell every type of fruit and vegetable, but as the name implies, they have become an invaluable source for chefs of more exotic, rare, and hard-to-find varieties. Bob has been traveling the world for almost three decades looking for and cataloging thousands of fruits and vegetables and their seemingly endless varieties. And he is going to tell us all about that adventure and what he has achieved. Tune in to hear about his quest and how you can access information on the thousands of fruits and veggies he has documented.
