Sesame Seeds

Cacao
Proof that chocolate is a vegetable and therefore beneficial to my health
Pineapple
Brussel Sprouts
Vanilla
Almond
Saffron
And that's why saffron is so scary expensive. There are only two stamens per crocus, and they have to be carefully harvested by hand, one at a time.
Kiwi
"work" yes... well sit under the trees with a book..

A kiwi is a small flightless bird, native to New Zealand. The fruit is called kiwifruit, one word, like grapefruit. 🇳🇿
Saw this at a restaurant in Portugal. You had to walk through a tunnel of kiwis to reach it
We have miniature ones in our garden. (in northern Germany!!) Everything about this plant looks fantastic: the leaves, the flowers. And edible fruit (although a bummer to peel, since they are about as large as gooseberries.
we definitely don't grow on trees , the people or the bird ha haa. Kiwifruit is the real name. Used to be known as Chinese Gooseberries
Coffee
Cinnamon
Pomegranate
Artichokes
Banana
Wasabi
Black Pepper
Quinoa
Avocado
Oh, they grow on trees. I don't know why, but I always assumed they grew near the ground like strawberries. The more you know.
Asparagus
Mango
Dragon Fruit
Dates
Persimmon
Capers
The little green flower buds are the capers. The small unripe fruits are eaten too. In Dutch they are called 'caper-apples'.
Starfruit
Jabuticaba
Tea Plant
Throw back childhood. It's like sit on library and read an ensyclopedia or walk with my friend into a garden then climb the tree pick the fruit and eat them wow i'm miss my childhood
Peanut : its not the flower. That is actually a grass which is planted in a palm oil field. Sorry. I can't helped it but comment. Wrong fact.
Peanuts do bear flowers as seen in the picture before they form the seed underground.
