If you watch enough of this series, there’s a danger you’ll be too scared to eat anything ever again. Who knew that nibbling on raw bean sprouts could kill you? Matt Tebbutt discovers they can be full of salmonella and E coli (unless they’ve been properly treated), so you need to cook them before eating.
Meanwhile, Jimmy Doherty is learning what it takes to grow mushrooms. Plenty of steaming hot manure, chicken droppings, straw and “poo juice”, apparently, plus a neat way of tricking the mycelium spores into “fruiting”.
And Kate Quilton is in Italy, where she learns to love something that was once produced as a herbal medicine – liquorice.
