Grammar Nazi here. Its actually Brussels Sprouts, as in the city of Brussels.
Not really. It is original Dutch food. It is called Brussels Sprouts only the way the Belgium people cook it. And that's very different from the Dutch people!

Yes, they look like this. Except, when ours grew, there were larger spaces between the sprouts and it had a denser crown. Creatures of all sorts will use this as a shade tree.
These I've wrestled with every Fall. You can buy them like this, but they're hard to store in the refrigerator!
I eat these every time they are in season, they taste beautiful with any cooked meal.
I know they grey like this because I have seen stores who sell them on the stalks.
I discovered this at my work, we grow brussel sprouts. I was suprised!
I remember picking these as a child. Apparently they taste sweeter after the first frost.
I feel less stupid. This one I actually had seen and grown on my own before.
Was given this on the stalk once. Had no idea how they grew before that.
Vanilla
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
Coffee
Cinnamon
Pomegranate
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'.
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.

Clickbait much! It's not really surprising to those who have seen it before (and I've seen quite a lot before).
I take back my words, some of these here are really quite surprising and I couldn't delete my comments for some reason. It's a good article.
