When he visited the markets in Bridgetown, Barbados and Kingston\u003cbr\u003e Jamaica, he was thrilled to find similar fruits and vegetables.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll the fruits and vegetables illustrated in this book are grown in the Caribbean, even though most of them originated in places such as Africa, The Americas and India. Cassava is one of the native foods of the Caribbean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe variety of fruit and vegetables was taken to the Caribbean by explorers, colonisers and Africans who were enslaved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Caribbean is a group of islands surrounded on the west by the Caribbean Sea and on the east by the Atlantic Ocean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe islands, although generally very hot, vary in the amount of rainfall, prevailing winds, soil compositions, rock formation, topography and mineral wealth. These climatical and geographical factors affect the fruits and vegetables grown in the islands; for instance, Jamaica grows a wider variety of mangoes than Barbados.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe foods mentioned in this book can all be found growing in different parts of the Caribbean Islands. It is possible to grow Caribbean foods in other parts of the world for example; tomatoes are grown in England, mangoes in\u003cbr\u003e India, yams in Africa and so on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese foods can be bought in most large supermarkets and certain small shops worldwide.
