I raise you brussels sprouts:
I can't believe you just spent an hour hotgluing brussel sprouts to a small tree just to trick people on the internet
I even traveled all the way to brussels to get them just for this prank.
Brussels can only be called brussels if they're from the brussels region of france, otherwise it's just sparkling wine
I'll see your Brussels Sprouts, and raise you Cashews:
Aren't the tops edible too? I wonder how the little shriveled bean thing on the end became internationally popular but the juicy looking fruit on top isn't. Like, every cashew harvested has to have the fruity part too, what do they all get used for?
They’re called cashew apples. You can find them at asian and latin grocery stores sometimes. Never had one, but i hear they are tasty, they’re hard to transport, though, so you have to be in the right areas to find them.
Cashew juice is very tasty and it's quite popular here in brazil. It also has medicinal properties for when you have diarrhea.
They're not great. But you can make decent jam from them.
Maybe they are not as fit for exporting or selling so the more profitable parts get sent to US instead?
Did you know that cashews come from a fruit?
I see your brussels sprouts and raise you pineapples:
Fuck. Im in a hot area but not zone 10-12 hot.
They may do best there, but I think there is wiggle room, at least for small scale cultivation.
My dad used to grow them in 9a and they grew pretty well. But they need to be covered up or brought in overnight if it's going to get too cold.
Maybe a greenhouse would work?
and they are primitive versions of grasses, POALES.
Damn. You beat me to it.
Uh… you’re welcome?
Wtf no way this is real
EDIT: whoa
Yea I wasn't sure how I thought they grew, but I never would have guessed that. I saw them at the supermarket on the stem and I was like wtf
and these are all related to cabbages, cauliflowers, broccoli too, they come from the same species.
Peanuts:
Yes, they grow underground like potatoes.
Well but they aren't roots, they're from a stem that goes back under.
And the violet one tastes great:
And here I always thought they grew like tiny cabbages
Wait until you hear how closely related they are to cabbages
Everything's brassica!
they are cultivars of the same species. cabbages, broccili, cauliflowers, brussel sprouts,,,etc. Brassica oleracea, also includes kale and collard greens
bok choi, napa cabbages are from a related species, similar bred.
Brussels sprouts are unreal
I've seen markets sell brussels sprouts on the stalk but I didn't know it had leaves.
I figured the leaves were the brussels sprouts,
Thanks for the info.
On another branch of that family tree, those leaves are kale.
Not even another branch - it's the same exact species, just a different cultivar
selected for increased leaf growth over the flowers.
First time I saw them I felt like someone was playing a massive prank on me… in a random supermarket, by putting clearly alien veggies in the veggie section
they are buds of the flowering part. we eat the flowering parts mostly, like broccoli, cauliflower.
I should find out how this stuff grows. I have no idea how broccoli and cauliflower grow.
Thanks for the info.
You can buy them like that in a grocer though. Shit for fridge space.
Yea I've only seen them once though. Usually they are sold pretrimmed in a bag, in the US at least.
You could have given me a million guesses and I wouldn't have arrived at that!
