30 Surprising Pics That Show How Food Looks Before It’s Harvested

wow I seeing this one for the first time

I grew them when I was in primary school - oh the joy when those yellow flowers bloomed

The 3rd photo looks like giagantic natural painting

This one is even more baffling than cinnamon. "Well, John appears to have died after eating one. But there's just GOT to be a way to prepare those green squash testicles so we could all enjoy them."

it's highly poisonous and has to go through tons of processing before it can be declared edible

The yellow fruit is fleshy, edible but not something that I'd say is delicious. We slice it and sprinkle a bit of salt before eating. We roast the shell to get the nut out. When roasting the shell we also make sure that no chickens are around as the acrid smoke can make them sick.

We eat and make juice from the yellow (it can be red also) part of the cashew here in Brazil. But the cashew nut (as we call it), cannot be eaten raw.

wow WEIRD!

coll AF.

Looks like a pear that's 'had to go'.

The second picture only shows the cashew nut, which is the green "tail" . The yellow part is fleshy and very sweet. The nut is dried and then roasted and salted.Cashew is a staple fruit in Brazil.

There is a song about this. "Did you know that cashews come from a fruit? WHAT? Did you know that cashews come from a fruit? HOW? CASHEWS CASHEWS FRUIT FRUIT FRUIT!

In my childhood, my school contained too many cashew trees.. I remember plucking and roasting them along with my friends!! it was a lovely sight!

Wow at my grandfather's village the color of guava is red when it ready to crop. In Indonesia we call jambu mete or jambu monyet it's mean monkey guava

Interesting colours.

Proof that chocolate is a vegetable and therefore beneficial to my health

I've got two at home. They look exactly look like this.

Had no idea it grew like this. Very cool.

What's with the Braille-like dots at the bottom of the pods? Anyone care to explain?

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.

And now I want to work on a kiwi farm...

It's like peaking behind the curtain... I just assumed it was made from wizardry

Who'd have thought my favorite spice looked like tree mange. Hats off to that first crazy guy who said, "Well the tree seems to be dying, but let me just get a taste anyway.."

what's going on with the second one? It looks fake

Very pretty

not a very accurate depiction. its more of an artistic photo than one which shows how they grow.

who knew that innocent little plant could melt your sinuses

Ripe ones make black pepper, green ones make white pepper.

I thought it was a gift brought by hipster fairies.. along with Kale

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.

The white ones are actually under the ground..

they look like plums

It probably why dragon fruits are expensive. You have to fight a cactus to get one.

Looks like it comes with its own basket.

i've read it "permission" :D

The little green flower buds are the capers. The small unripe fruits are eaten too. In Dutch they are called 'caper-apples'.

Keroro's favourite. ☆

This exactly how I imagined something-I-never-heard-of-before growing.

More of a bush
