“The 1929 Ruby Red patent was associated with real commercial success, which came after the discovery of a red grapefruit growing on a pink variety. The Red grapefruit, starting with the Ruby Red, has even become a symbolic fruit of Texas, where white “inferior” grapefruit were eliminated and only red grapefruit were grown for decades” Seems to me 1929 predates WWII by a few years
Likewise “Peppermint was discovered in the modern era, in about 1700 when the English biologist, John Ray, discovered the herb in an English garden. This new creation was the product of Water Mint (Menthae aquatica) and Spearmint (Menthae spicata). In comparison to other mint varieties, Peppermint has special medicinal powers.”
