Do you know where the food comes from? One comes to us from animals, in one sense or another, and the other grows directly from the earth. We are accustomed to buying vegetables and fruits in stores ready-made, without even thinking about how it all grows, and what it looks like at that moment. Today we want to show you 20 fruits and vegetables, which actually do not grow the way you thought all this time.
1. So blooming banana
Banana blooms are, as the name recommends, the blooms from a banana tree. Left on the tree, they would bloom into bananas. Like bananas, they too are edible.
2. Pineapples
Pineapples grow on bushes! It takes 2-3 years to grow the pineapple from a bush.
Initially, the bush grows flowers, which later grow together, forming a pineapple.

Cashews grow on trees. What we call cashews actually grows below the “apple”, which you can see in the photo below.
4. Brussels sprouts
Brussels sprouts grow on stems.
5. Vanilla
In fact, vanilla is an edible fruit from lianas of a certain type of orchids.
Why is it so expensive? Because vanilla flowers can be pollinated only by certain bees, which are found only in countries of the equatorial belt.
6. Asparagus
They grow straight from the earth with creepy green fingers.

13. Leek
