[www.keralites.net] The Fascinating Ways Our Fruits and Veggies Are Grown...

 

The Ways That Fruits and Veggies Grow While only hundreds of years ago, most of us would spend our days harvesting in the fields, today we spend most of the day at the office in front of the computer, on the phone, or watching television. Once, we knew the biological traits of fruits and vegetables, but today all that matters is if our local grocery store provides them or not. Here are some of the amazing ways that fruits and veggies grow that may be new to you! Brussels sprouts grow on stalks   Pineapples grow on the ground   Cashews are the brown part at the end of this fruit   Artichokes have beautiful purple flowers   Pomegranates grow on small trees   Asparagus grow straight out of the ground   Kiwis grow on vines   Leeks also have a beautiful purple flower   Persimmons also grow on a huge tree   Cocoa beans that produce chocolate grow inside bright pods on a tree   Celery also grows in a huge green bush in the grond   Beets are root vegetables that grow in the ground with leafy tops   Saffron is the little orange stamina in the middle of the Crocus flower   Bananas grow upside on tall plants (not trees) Peanuts grow as little roots on the ground   Cloves are the dried flower buds of the clove tree   Cantaloupes grow on the ground pumpkins   Capers are the unopened buds of this beautiful flower   Cranberries grow on low, bushy plants and are harvested in water   Broccoli florets are little closed flower buds   Avocados grow on tall trees   Chickpeas come in little green pods in a low plant   Olives grow on very old trees   Black peppercorns are actually fruit that grow on vines   Blueberries grow on spiny bushes   Lemons grow on trees oranges   Paprika comes from ground up and dried red peppers   Arugula does not grow in a bunch, but separately
