The Splendid Grain by Rebecca Wood

The New Whole Foods Encyclopedia: A Comprehensive… by Rebecca Wood

Rebecca Wood believes that in any relationship, "The more deeply we know the other - be it a neighbor, your pet cat, or an apple - the more that relationship offers." This comprehensive encyclopedia about whole foods covers not only what the food IS, but it also includes the medicinal benefits, how to cook it, and where to find it! Learning about the health benefits of eating whole (and not processed!) foods was very enlightening.
