Adam Alexander joins us, sharing how a vegetable in the Ukraine changed the course of his entire life. Connect With Adam Alexander: Adam Alexander is The Seed Detective. His passion for vegetables was ignited when he tasted an unusual sweet pepper with a fiery heart while on a filmmaking project in Ukraine. Smitten by its flavor, Adam began to seek out local growers of endangered heritage and heirloom varieties in a mission to bring home seeds to grow, share, and return so that he could enjoy their delicious taste―and save them from being lost forever.
