E16 The One with the Domes

Have you ever wondered where vegetable raise their families?

A cuisine’s defining flavours don’t exist by accident, they’re intertwined with history, culture, climate and weather. That’s why Thai food is characterised by tropical lime, chilli and Thai basil, while Scandinavian food is known for its cool-climate cold-water fish, potatoes and seasonal berries. Alice shows the Super Naturals why different cuisines use a variety of ingredients and what that tells you about climatic zones. Lily chats to Vera the Vegetable Clairvoyant and Paul West about her favourite foods as a vegetarian.

Factastical #5

Earthworms don’t have teeth instead they feed off the soupy mush of decaying food and microbes. As they feed they act like little ploughs, tunnelling little pockets that water and air get to the roots of plants.
