You had my up vote at 'France is Bacon.'

DID YOU KNOW THAT CASHEWS COME FROM A FRUIT? D-D-D-DID YOU KNOW THAT CASHEWS COME FROM A FRUIT? CASHEWS CASHEWS
BobertFisher
This is weird that people don’t know these things.
cwbyboots
Where did you think aparagus came from?
lesbianwholovesbeerandcheese
sparrows guts ?
roadhunter
The almond has a woody shell, but the fruit isn't woody. It's like a peach. Cracka. peach pit open, and you'll see the resemblance.
Ibrakadabra4
What kind of crazines is this, whats next cucumbers and tomatoes also don’t come from grocery store!?
KNIVESY
Some of these were really fuckin obvious, but it was cool to learn like, 4 things.

#15 - I’ve wondered about this. Thanks, OP.
Ibringchocolate
I am quite sure that this one is wrong. Sorry. :-/
BluePeaSoup
Google it... looks right to me.
Ibringchocolate
Capers come from a plant called: Flinders rose (Latin name is: capparis spinosa)
BluePeaSoup
The pictured flower does look similar to a flinders rose... but you're right I don't think it's the correct one on closer inspection.
Ibringchocolate
I don't know. Could be. Could not be. ^^ anyways: have a nice day.
ITalkAboutGoats
You can also make capers out of the buds of a common flower called nasturtium. That's a great plant to have, the leaves and flowers taste
ITalkAboutGoats
Like table pepper. Great with eggs.
codnuggets
I didn't know that about the nasturtium buds. Cool!
BootsCatsBeeeeeeez
I HATE capers. Yuck
Undrave
Same! Even if you pick them out of a plate it ruins the taste of everything it touches. YUCK!
BahamutBBob
But are they "kay pers" or "cap pers"?

The author of this was surprised by kiwis? Giant fleshy grape like fruits with thin skin? I did not know about chickpeas, though.

DaxxthewayIlikeit
Back in the 80s I lived in Pico Rivera California on a street lined with avocado trees. They were larger than the Hass and watery. At the
DaxxthewayIlikeit
time I had a red Monte Carlo I would park under this 30-40 foot tree. One night we had a strong storm, waking up to a pile of crushed
DaxxthewayIlikeit
avocados on my car. No damage but it looked like guacamole.

Really? I’d have imagined the pits would have done something, but oh well.

Neither does asparagus growing out of the ground look creepy. But alot of folks live in concrete jungles apparently. Never seen a cow IRL

Urine?... like on everything?
OneMoreRide
Yes.
Hemelsblauw
Well, if on the ground, the plants will grow better.

#1 The asparagus we eat is just a sprout of the bush. Full grown asparagus is like a tree and featherduster had a bastard child.
mookooskookoolatoos
You fucked it up at the end with broccoli
WinoCrimesand69s
#4 da fuq kinda apple you been seeing?
GrimBeeperBooper
Looks more like a tree gourd with a giant hardened blossom still stuck to the end to me
justfukingoogleit
It is called the Cashew Apple... can eat it but apparently it rots fast...
regicidalveggie
I always wonder who looked at certain foods and was like “that killed five people but maybe if I shell it first...”
Kbantar
Who eats shells? More like Krog died, but he did like breaking his teeth on rocky things that grow on trees. No loss.
Ireallylikepuzzles
Maybe they just threw it in a fire and then found the seed inside. That shell is really hard and i don't think anyone would try to bite it
GingerParade
Or licked the tree containing cinnamon..
oprahslovechild
I think about that all the time.
epheph
A nibble won't kill you. I can imagine a tribe's medicine man experimenting on himself.

Generally animals.

Yep, and people watched what animals did to eat them, and copied.

MrWobblyHead
Peanuts are not nuts. They are a legume like peas and lentils.
kurash
In swedish they're actually called "earth nuts".
chbarts
In old-fashioned English they're called pignuts. In less-old-fashioned English they're called goober peas.
JaromirAzarov
#1: Asparagus is a sprout, so of course it growd directly from the ground. Grown up it looks like that: https://imgur.com/5Ce9i7i
BallsackHippo
And even as a sprout, it doesn't look creepy... wtf?
w0ntoan
plants grow out of the ground, WHAT? /s
GentlemanScientist
And they grow berries. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4048/5122155958_cbb4d2243d.jpg

I just threw some asparagus plants in my compost and wondered what those were

#7 why don't you try going for a run through that "cute" field. I'll tell you why, it is a field of death! Delicious sweet death.
FireWolves
My dad used to do EOD jump training in Hawaii and one of the thing was landing by pineapple fields. If one got “stuck” in the parachute...
FireWolves
They could bring them home.

influbit
I heard pineapples take forever to grow, so we eat like 5 years worth of fruit in like one sitting. Also if you pranced thru they be mad
OneShot510
Pineapples take about two years to grow but even more time in colder climates
RelativeVelocity
I'm waiting on mine to regrow

That would be pomegranates.

The actual word 'grenade' comes from this, as well as pomegranates as insignia in various armies.

*Bombgrenades.... And now I'm probably on some list. Thanks NSA.

Pineapple, it'll cut you up trying to pick it, it will fight you as you try to peel it and it will eat you as you try it eat it.
Wesugi
You know, you would expect this fruit to have more Iron content for how metal it is

It's rich in vitamin c, the C stands for cychotic

Try sprinkling a little salt on fresh pineapple. Completely changes the flavour profile and makes them delicious.
DanielRadcliffesDeliciousAsshole1
Makes them delicious I love them just they way they are I eat a lot of pineapple but will try the salt
LeonSandcastle
Who saw someone eat a cashew and said, ok he died, but what if I cook them first?
w0ntoan
More likely, hungry, but this is astringent to taste, cook and taste, seems good, eat.
dogbeachesarethebestbeaches
Theres a nut in australia that's Highly deadly but the Aborigines discovered u could eat it if you soaked it for 3 days and powdered it.
MonoclesAndManacles
That's nuts

I am a botanist, and I get so fucking high on the weird shit that plants do
MyBrainIsPlastiDipped
Do you know how to identify cycads? I got some seeds from a couple of plants but not sure the exact type.
AKsinfonian
I was waiting for the "ginger root is technically a modified stem" comment.
GentlemanScientist
Aha, that kind of "botanist" huh?
IAmFeatherWeightHearMeRoar23
The cashew fruit is actually delicious, meaty, and juicy. I grew up eating it and saving the seeds to roast on an open fire.
LlamaLingo
Where do you live?
IAmFeatherWeightHearMeRoar23
I was born in central America.
Ireallylikepuzzles
Yeah and leaves you with a weird feeling in your mouth hahaha
cowpiefatty
So is only the seed casing toxic?
w0ntoan
The fruit is also easily bruised, hence it's hard to find these shipped far.
IAmFeatherWeightHearMeRoar23
Yup. The fruit is edible! You need to peel the seed and roast it.
58d8fee2
I always roasted the shell until it was ash. Industrial production steams them off: https://www.hindawi.com/journals/isrn/2012/476702/
