Comment on Anon learns about nuts
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 5 months agoIt’s one of those “you don’t know what you don’t know” things. I apparently make a lot of assumptions about the things I eat. Some examples of things I was surprised about:
- coffee beans aren’t beans, they’re closer to cherries
- how pineapples grow
- avocados are apparently berries
- what adult asparagus look like
And so on. I’m sure there are a ton more, and I’m always excited to find something that really surprises me.

Botanical classifications are always crazy. Most nuts are wild too, check out walnuts. How many things we eat that are clones of a specific plant is really curious too. Apples, avocados, citrus, bananas…

Yeah, we have a walnut tree by my house and I scratched my head the first time trying to figure out how to make them look like what we get at the store.
