Food Science for Gardeners: Grow, Harvest, and Prepare Nutrient Dense Foods (Garden Science Series, 5) by Robert Pavlis

Grow food that tastes better — and understand why it does. Flavor, texture, and nutrition begin long before harvest. Food Science for Gardeners explores how soil health, plant chemistry, and growing conditions shape the quality of the food you bring to the table.
