Have you ever paused to think about the adventures of the average food before its arrival on the shelf at your grocery store? As it turns out, you might be surprised to learn how different many common foods you eat every day look before they are harvested. Though the photos below may appear to be of exotic and weird food plants, they're actually just a collection of what super common foods look like when they’re growing on farms or out in the wild.
Here you’ll find pictures of weird food plants that actually produce everything from some of your favorite fruits and vegetables to your morning cup of coffee. For instance, did you know that pineapples don’t actually grow on trees, but on fairly short plants that can only produce one fruit at a time? Ever wonder where common nuts like cashews actually come from or what other flowers the plants they grow on also produce? The answers may shock and surprise you!
Check out these fun facts that’ll make you see the world of food in a whole new light, or at least give you some super random trivia to throw out next time you’re at the grocery store with a friend.
