I have been listening to the podcast for a few years now and always enjoy the thoughtful guests and the interesting questions. It is really nice to have someone who has an academic and cultural interest in the food systems around the world sharing information to make us all better informed.

I am a huge fan of Cassandra Quave’s book “The Plant Hunter,” and was so excited to discover this absolutely fascinating show!

In depth and also to the point, very much enjoy listening and learning from these interesting and informed guests! Food is the first medicine!

If you’re interested in the sustainability of our agricultural systems, or where your food comes from, or which spices in your cabinet are shown scientifically to prove beneficial for the gut microbiome, or any number of other food-and-medicine topics, this podcast is for you. Our favorite all-time tip was that the benefits of turmeric root are greatly enhanced when it is combined with black pepper! Now my husband always mixes the two in his cooking. This podcast is recommended for gardeners, foodies, fermenters, permies, and anyone interested in the huge world of ethnobotany. (And check out the recent episode about a woman who lived for 23 years in the Arctic, 500 miles from the nearest town.)

I loved the most recent episode with Sue Aiken. What a life she has!!! And she is so generous with her knowledge!

This show is a must listen for anyone interested in plants—the science of plants, the use of plants, and for the range of plant people.

What an excellent podcast! It is interesting, relevant, and cutting edge. Love the merging of science and research with helpful information for healthy living!

This has become my favorite podcast! I’ve learned so much and been connected to so many great people and organizations through this podcast, which has helped me discover my own unique love for plants and history! Cannot recommend enough! THANK YOU Dr. Quave and the whole Foodie team! 🤍

Professor Cassandra Quave brings quality Science to the public. She covers a wide range of topics in-depth in a seemingly effortless way. Learn from a passionate researcher, and be inspired!

I just finished the first podcast on the way home from work and am excited to explore the rest.

Dr Quave is great at sharing her knowledge and making botany fun and accessible!

We have needed this podcast for a long time. Dr. Quave's willingness to share her knowledge of plant usage and history make these podcasts interesting and helpful. The interviews from around the world are always loaded with information. Waiting on a new episode.every week.

I highly recommend giving these excellent interviews a listen— so many interesting characters and insightful ethnobotanical facts!

Great mix of fun facts, sensory delights, and in-depth science! I love the length and pace. I'm really enjoying it and looking forward to future episodes!

If you want to learn more about the culinary history and health benefits of foods and spices, this is the place! Dr. Quave makes food pharmacology fascinating...

If you love food, you will love this podcast! Dr. Quave makes the science behind the food approachable and easy to understand. Love it!

Dr. Quave is my go to source for all things Ethnobotany. Her new podcast is a great way to learn about plants and their many uses, ranging from food to medicine and so much more. I can’t wait for the newest episode!

Very excited to have this podcast on my list! Just recently discovered Dr. Quave’s work and am delighted to see the development of this podcast. The knowledge in these short episodes is quite dense; this might be a show I take notes on...but it’s perfect if you’re in the mood to learn something new (in depth) and come away with a better understanding of how science, nature, and human history play a role in our use of these foods. Adding music and little blips of fun facts should help keep audiences more engaged too.
