The History of Food | Think Garden

This video from KET’s Think Garden collection provides a brief history of cultivated food. Take a trip through the woods as a hunter-gatherer foraging for edible foods; see how Native Americans used companion crops like the Three Sisters and why corn, beans and squash work so well together; and get a closer look at where the tomato, once thought to be poisonous, got its start.

This video is available in both English and Spanish audio, along with corresponding closed captions.
