The inspiring biography of Maria Orosa, a WWII-era chemist who invented life-saving food preservation methods and created banana ketchup.

When Maria Orosa was growing up in the Philippines in the early twentieth century, she saw people starving for food--while fresh fruits and vegetables rotted in the jungle. So Maria embarked on a study of food science that would save the lives of her fellow Filipinos. When World War II came to her homeland, Maria fought hunger with her experiments--and brought people joy with inventions like her famous banana ketchup.
