    To be honest, I’ve noticed that with lots of foods. I know what the thing looks like in stores, but I have no idea what it’s like in nature.

    Cashews were another recent one, where I never would have guessed what they look like:

    Yellow cashew apple hanging on a tree. It looks almost like a bell pepper. There's a green bit at the end, which contains the cashew nut.

        I guess I assumed ‘sprout’ meant directly out of the ground instead of a “Brussels tree”.

        I don’t recognize a few of the other ones.

          They occasionally sell the Brussels sprouts on the stalk like that at the farmers market. I feel like some kind of vegetable wizard walking around with it.

          Brussels sprouts, pineapple, asparagus, rice, peanuts, chocolate.

        I just ate wholemeal rice and still would not have guessed rice. 🥴
