Dear Nafexers,
I am compiling an encyclopedia of ALL EDIBLE FRUITS
and have named it "FRUITPEDIA". I intend to put it on the website www.fruitipedia.com in a few weeks.
My aim is to provide basic and introductory
information (2-3 pages) alongwith 3-4 pictures about all the edible fruits
irrespective of their commercial importance. Most enclypedic and other
books available today carry information about commercially important fruits like
mango, apple, oranges etc. There is very little information available on
minor, lesser known and wild growing fruits. So I hope that this effort
will be useful for fruit lovers as well as researchers all over the world.
Wild growing, unexploited and lesser known fruits
have been my field of for the past four decades.
CRFG has listed nearly 1000 fruits at their
website. There are many more and the final number
might reach 2000. So it is a gigantic task for me to complete
single handed. Till today, I have chapters on 135 fruits.
Out of these 7 have come from Dr. Ken Love of the University of
Hawaii.
I therefore request all to help me in this work by
writing chapters on minor and rarefruits.
I am not in a position to pay anything for this
work. However, the name of the contributor shall be
mentioned.
Please do make your contribution for this project
and write me back.
