It’s an everyday act—but just a century ago, eating food that had been refrigerated was cause for both fear and excitement. The introduction of artificial refrigeration overturned millennia of dietary history, launching a new chapter in human nutrition. We could now overcome not just rot, but seasonality and geography. Tomatoes in January? Avocados in Shanghai? All possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eFrostbite\u003c\/em\u003e, Nicola Twilley takes readers on a tour of the cold chain from farm to fridge, visiting off-the-beaten-path landmarks such as Missouri’s subterranean cheese caves, the banana-ripening rooms of New York City, and the vast refrigerated tanks that store the nation’s orange juice reserves. Today, nearly three-quarters of everything on the average American plate is processed, shipped, stored, and sold under refrigeration. It’s impossible to make sense of our food system without understanding the all-but-invisible network of thermal control that underpins it. Twilley’s eye-opening book is the first to reveal the transformative impact refrigeration has had on our health and our guts; our farms, tables, kitchens, and cities; global economics and politics; and even our environment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nicola Twilley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44959096832047,"sku":"9780735223288","price":2199.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/6428\/9071\/files\/9780735223288.jpg?v=1771071342","url":"https:\/\/lunabooks.in\/products\/frostbite-how-refrigeration-changed-our-food-our-planet-and-ourselves","provider":"Luna Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
