One for the foodies and history buffs:The History of Food is a feast for the eyes (pun most definitely intended) that explores the history and cultural significance of some of the world's most beloved foods, from pizza and tacos to sushi and chocolate. Through fascinating interviews with food experts and historians, the series delves into the origins of these foods, the ways in which they have evolved over time, and their impact on global cuisine — with excellent cinematography to cap it off. The five-part docuseries is a well-researched and visually stunning documentary series that will leave you with a newfound appreciation for the role food has played in shaping our world.

While it is a lot to digest(no, we’re not sorry for the puns) it’s worth the commitment. The documentary doesn’t shy away from the dark side of food history, and delves into topics like colonization, slavery, and industrialization, which are all important parts of our food story but aren't always pleasant to think about.

WHERE TO WATCH- The series is available onCuriosityStream, a streaming platform dedicated to documentaries that you can access for USD 4.99 a month.
