Solanum tuberosum - Arachis hypogaea - Pistacia vera - Zea mays
At first sight, the tubers of a flowering plant of the Solanaceae family, the seeds of Brazilian legume, the nuts of a Mediterranean tree and the grains of a North American tall-grass don’t seem to have much in common. However, appropriately processed they become simple yet totally scrumptious pleasures of daily life. Potato chips and crisps, peanuts, pistachios and popcorn - what would parties be like without these favourite snacks from the four corners of our planet?
