History, tradition and origin
Vegetable cooking has moved to the centre of the plate in many restaurants. Stewed summer vegetables are a Provencal tradition, and grilled vegetables in olive oil are found all around the Mediterranean. Chopped salads and creamy herb dressings are Californian inventions of the twentieth century, and avocado on toast spread from Australian cafes.
Food economy and industry
California and Spain supply much of the fresh salad eaten in North America and Europe, and Mexico grows most of the avocados traded worldwide. Fresh vegetables need fast, chilled transport and are picked largely by hand, so labour is the main cost. Greenhouse and vertical farming are growing, especially for leafy greens.
