Mandarin, citron, pomelo, bergamot, kumquat. This book traces the history of today's global superfood from its cultivation in the ancient world from just a handful of original 'wild' species, via Arab trade routes, the noble collectors of medieval Europe, imperial conquerors on the high seas, and merchants risking ruin for the highest-value fruit crop ever known.
