Episode description as stored

We eat apples in the summer and enjoy bananas in the winter. When we do this, we go against the natural order of life which is towards death and decay. What gives? This week, Latif Nasser spoke with Nicola Twilley, the author of Frostbite: How Refrigeration Changed Our Food, Our Planet, and Ourselves . Twilley spent over a decade reporting about how we keep food alive as it makes its way from the farm to our table. This conversation explores the science of cold, how fruits hold a secret to eternal youth, and how the salad bag, of all things, is our local grocery store’s unsung hero. Special thanks to Jim Lugg and Jeff Wooster EPISODE CREDITS: Reported by Latif Nasser and Nicola Twilley with help from Maria Paz Gutierrez Produced by Maria Paz Gutierrez Original music from Jeremy Bloom Sound design contributed by Jeremy Bloom with mixing help from Arianne Wack Fact-checking by Emily Krieger and Edited by Alex Neason EPISODE CITATIONS: Articles New Yorker Article - How the Fridge Changed Flavor ( https://zpr.io/32TuSmAc2HbQ )by Nicola Twilley New Yorker Article - Africa’s Cold Rush and the Promise of Refrigeration ( https://zpr.io/3g9VdgKMAiHf ) by Nicola Twilley Books Frostbite ( https://zpr.io/Mg3Q7JCBvcAg ) by Nicola Twilley Podcasts Gastropod ( https://link.chtbl.com/ndCzgCHU ) Signup for our newsletter!!
