Let's start with a glimpse into the past, as we open the pages of Larousse 1913 and discover an array of mushrooms that have captivated generations. Moving on to culinary delights, our attention turns to edible-podded peas or sugar peas. These versatile legumes offer a delightful crunch and are available in numerous varieties, each boasting its unique flavor profile. As we wander further into horticulture, gooseberry varieties catch our eye. From tart green gems to luscious golden orbs, these berries offer a burst of tangy sweetness that tantalizes taste buds. Shifting gears towards floral beauty, let's explore Nerine: six captivating varieties that grace gardens with their vibrant colors and delicate petals.

With their tender texture and sweet taste, these legumes come in an assortment of sizes and colors—each one more enticing than the last. Carrots take center stage next as we uncover an array of carrot varieties (Daucus). Ranging from traditional orange roots to purple or white wonders, these crunchy delights bring both color and nutrition to our plates.
