Palestine, IN-BETWEEN Podcast

Episode 2: Criminal Foods

In this episode, we explore the criminalization of three popular edible plants within Palestine with our guest Rabea Eghbariah. Zaatar, akkoub, and miramiya are staples in Palestinian cuisine, and yet there is currently a legal ban on their picking, possession, and trade. We discuss these plants' cultural and economic history within Palestine and the history and significance of their prohibition by the Israel Nature and Parks Authority.

This podcast is made in collaboration with Columbia University's Center for Palestine Studies, Lifta Volumes, Lena Mansour, and Cher Asad.
