We’ve all got a favorite fruit, vegetable or spice, but most of us probably don’t know where they come from or what their plant even looks like. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of 22 delicious fruits, vegetables and spices showing how they’re grown.
We’re sure you know about how a few of these foods grow, but most of you probably don’t know all of them. Personally, I had no idea that cashews looked like that, and I could’ve sworn that kiwis grow on trees! It’s also interesting to note how many different parts of these plants we like to eat. Cinnamon bark, peanut roots, caper buds, sesame seeds and bananas all come from different parts of their plants and they’re all delicious.
