      In European Spanish, "verdura" (vegetables) does not include fruits. We have another word "vegetales" that includes both fruits and vegetables, along with any other plant, edible or not.
      I believe it was the same in Latin American Spanish, but due to English influence, now "vegetales" means just "vegetables" there.

      That was a commonly held belief about the evolutionary function of capsaicin, but it's probably not the biggest evolutionary driver. More likely, it is the anti-fungal/bacterial affects of capsaicin, that protect the fruit from disease in very humid environments, that was the biggest evolutionary driver of its production. This has been confirmed by control studies on capsaicin production in plants on different watering regimes. The more frequent the watering, the spicier the pepper.

      @@juanmam.2113 Actually Dandelions were introduced to North America from Eurasia as they were brought over as a food crop by European colonists the leaves and tuber even the flower and seeds are all edible historically both been consumed though they were predominantly used as medicinal herbs.
      It was only later as the lawn fad was spread by the landscaping industry after the second world war that they became "weeds" rather than agricultural crops I'm actually quite curious at how that happened as it is a pretty large change in usage as the plant has been used by people for thousands of years....
      There are many types of dandelions spread over Eurasia and North America but almost all of the ones we think of are T. officinale and T. erythrospermum which are native to Eurasia but have been spread everywhere by people and have become easily established due to their ability to reproduce asexually.
      Both sunflowers and dandelions are members of the Asteraceae another major group of angiosperms that arose and radiated out back in the cretaceous particularly during the Campanian the 5th major geological period of the Cretaceous so they have had plenty of time to colonize the world.
      The rose family is both extremely diverse and widely dispersed with its epicenter of diversity in Eurasia but species are indigenous to all continents except Antarctica a diversity which makes sense given the family is relatively old for angiosperms with evidence suggesting the family split off from other angiosperms back in the early Cretaceous around 120 Million years ago which puts them as a major early player in the angiosperm diversification and eventual late cretaceous dominance.

    Wild onions grow in the fields around our home in Rhode Island. They are nothing like "regular" onions being very tiny and white, but they are not scallions (which used to be called wild onions in the UK in the 16th-18th century before our current domesticated varieties were bred), although scallions do belong to the onion family. Wild onions are quite strong but also kind of bitter as well as oniony so they aren't really edible alone but can be shredded into salads or boiled in a soup or stew. The thing is they don't grow in groups like yellow onions but are solitary and very tiny so not really worth the effort of collecting. By the way, standing in your garden eating a tomato still warm from the sun with just a dash of salt is one of the most exquisite tastes on earth. The author must have only eaten store tomatoes which admittedly often taste like wallpaper paste.

      But I'd like to see a video about culinary nuts aswell, preferably including an explanation as to why we call so many things nuts, which are not nuts.

      Peppers..that's where the confusion comes from. Because the word is 2 different things : I love Italian cuisine, but the peppers used are what are called bell peppers, red, green, yellow, white., and aren't strong, though very tasty . Peppers as in salt and pepper is totally different. Black, green, red and those come from India, where their cuisine is also great. I agree with the fact that a lot of vegetables have made their way across the globe. Especially tomatoes, he didn't mention, but those are from Mexico..and it's true that commercial ones are bland in taste. But if you grow your own, the difference is evident . Raw = delicious ! The confusion stems from how we call them. Different languages, but same thing. Whatever you like, and if you like to cook, you don't need to be a chef, go ahead and enjoy yourself ! Personally I can't stand beetroot !

      @DAndyLord for sure, I was saying that it can be confusing since we use the name for 2 different things. In English that is, that's why we say bell peppers, although you do find oblong ones. Avocados and pineapples are also Mexican and of course, cacao and chilli. And other stuff as well. Having a medieval supper is very interesting, I tried it once. Well..can you imagine what cooking would be like if we didn't have those vegetables? Just imagine it. The thing I don't like, is that we're sold uniformised articles, when there's so many varieties of each ! We all complain about bland tomatoes, but it's difficult to get others. That's why I suggested we try to find out more about what's what and , if lucky, try to taste it.

    I feel like the Americas got snubbed a bit. Yes they covered beans and potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes. Peppers changed the world cuisine, as did the tomato both native to central and South America. I guess pumpkins are covered by the squash mention. Agave, quinoa, there was so much not mentioned.
    Oh and most melons came from Africa. That was a big one missed.

    So what italians are suppose to eating when they consume "caprese"? There are simply for us italians different types of tomatoes: one could be eaten is salads as well as be gross cooked. But, there is a but, the tomatoes in origin were yellow and there weren't meat to be eaten raw. So this plan evolved the characteristic of a fruit over time.
