CRC Handbook of Medicinal Spices or Toasters Handbook

CRC Handbook of Medicinal Spices

Author: James A A Duk

This book offers a systematic review of more than 60 important medicinal spice plants. Offering much more than a few old wives' tales, the editor takes care to provide the science behind the folklore and includes a listing of the phytochemicals in each spice that contribute to its medicinal activity. He also includes market and import data, culinary uses, ecology and cultural information, and discusses at length the use of spices as antiseptics and antioxidants. Each entry includes scientific and common names, medicinal activities and indications, and other uses.
