Os doces frutos da colônia: flora, conservas e compotas na América portuguesa quinhentista.
- Authors
Oliveros, Julianna Morcelli; dos Santos, Christian Fausto Moraes
- Abstract
One of the greatest challenges for European settlers in 16th century Portuguese America was the adaptation to the new environment, especially with regard to food. Food was generally that available on native soil. Tropical fruits were several, coupled to sugar from sugar-cane plantations and mills. The environmental and flora dynamics were greatly relevant in the process of fixing the settlers to the place as the values attributed to these food and to sugar in the New World.
