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.

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.
Fun fact: None of these are nuts in the botanical sense. Cashews and almonds are drupe seeds, like the the pit of a peach and peanuts are legume crops, like beans. 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. I assume it is simply because of the way we consume them, but given the fact that the vast majority of culinary nuts are not botanical nuts, I'd not be surprised if there was more to it.

Quinoa and Cassava (yuca) saying "fuck my drag, right?" . Actually perhaps a geography of grains could be another video idea. Rice, wheat, barley, rye, oats, buckwheat, couscous, quinoa, bulgur. etc. or geography of legumes like lentils and chickpeas , peanuts.
Quinoa is more of a new trend and still isn't that widespread in eurocentric cuisine. Yuca much less, I'm a Latino living in Europe and can tell you, nobody here knows about it. Sadly
@@domenstrmsek5625 it depends but tomatoes are good just raw, with some salt, mashed in a fresh salsa and even roasted or boiled and then cooked with onion and oil ( that's the most common tomato sauce in italy)
Given how many vegetables are missing here, I suspect we could be getting parts 2, 3 and maybe 4. Some which merit being in subsequent videos: - Garlic - Cassava - Taro - Cocoyam - Coffee - Tea - Dill - Other relatives of the onion (Shallot, scallion, chive, leek...) - Nopal (a cactus from Mexico) - Vanilla - Mustard - Courgette - Eggplant /Aubergine - Fennel - Lotus - Bamboo - Ginger - Horseradish and Wasabi - Parsnip - Olives
These Geography of... are my favorite series of yours. We still need a Geography of beverages. Possibly two. One for alcoholic. One for everything else.
Bok Choy's very popular in Jamaica & other places in the Caribbean. A lot of vegetables that originate from Africa also made their way to the Caribbean and are part of our palate today like Ackee (national dish of Jamaica & originates from Ghana), okra, & yams
Possibly brought over by slaves from sub-Saharan Africa? As a European I can tell you that okra is very alien to our native cuisines. It's actually something I've never even tried! It's on my to-do list though
Nearly any fish or fried chicken joint in the U.S. has fried okra. It's also great in stews and soup as a thickener and flavor catalyst. Cajun/creole recipe's from the south pretty much have to have okra.
It's only a commonnpart of the diet in the American south-- that, & Filé spice from Sassafras leaves. I mean, you can get okra just about anywhere in the US, but it's not commonly eaten. I usually only put it in soups or rice dishes. Comes out pretty good.
Fun fact about the ‘three sisters’ not only were they very popular but they were grown together (thus making them siblings) The beans grow up the corn stalk and the gourds grow at the bottom :)
@@jalchi8367 eating raw vegetables is a thing in the us. Eating a tomato like a apple isn't. I personally love sliced tomato or cucumber with a little bit of salt. As far as raw meat goes pork and most poultry is almost never eaten raw but fish absolutely and beef is kind of raw with people liking rare or medium rare cooking. Most Americans don't want to risk food born pathogens.
Wild cardoun: "I bet I could eat that." Centuries later, artichoke: a vegetable I still can't eat. It's not because it tastes bad, but because every time I eat one it feels like more work than it's worth.
Considering China is contributing to more than half of all veggies produced annually and has the 2# highest veggie consumption per capita, I think it deserves more attention in this video
Raw tomato I can kinda get given that proper fresh tomatoes are damn hard to come by, especially in winter...but cauliflower is leagues behind broccoli in all cases I've tried them in.
but it is (especially raw cauliflower vs raw broccoli)(also cauliflower with peanuts, all chopped by a food processor-but not mushed- is great, just remember the lemon juice, salt and olive oil)
Me: 🤔 well he ToTaLlY spends SOOO much time researching like has he never had a salad before? I eat just a cut up tomato like every other day for lunch
I would reccomend Geography of Grain. Seriously, that would be great. You have Millet in Africa and China. Emmer, Einkorn, Hulled Barley, Rye, in Levant. Psuedo Grains like Amaranth and Quinoa. Rice. Maize, etc... The diversity of Grains and the parallel domestication of similar grains a world away is incredibly interesting. You could even go further with the Founder Crops, the Rye controversial origin, the Corn Dole of Rome (Corn meant grains... not maize) Grain Banking of Egypt. I would argue that there has been no more important a plant family in human history than Grains.
Love your videos. Just FYI, In south India, during funerals and death ceremonies, all the dishes (around 15-20 different kinds) are made from only fruits and vegetables that are native/originated to India. Example Brinjal, Snake Gourd, Bitter Melon, All parts of the banana plant except the roots, Taro, etc... Moringa, another super food has its origins in India.
I am a Mexican living in China, and sometimes I'm so surprised of how many "Mexican dishes" are consumed here. From Hunan food (stir peppers with protein) to "caldo de res"
Ohmygod that'd be awesome. It'd probably be ranked by (a) how easy it is for the plant to get eaten in a way that damages/kills it and (b) how well its seeds spread around. Maybe popularity would be in there somewhere.
Actually okra is a popular vegetable in the southern US and it can be found in most stores here seasonally. It’s used in a lot of foods but it’s typically fried or added to soups
Novelty is prized by some gardeners. It also might have been flavor. Commercial farming has a tendency to reduce selection to a few varieties. Shelf space in produce departments are at a premium, so few varieties are encouraged.

“Tomatoes taste gross” wait what??? I never understood this until I traveled to the US. their tomatoes suck!! I live in Alberta Canada and every tomato I’ve eaten is tasty as hell
there's a huge diversity of root vegeatbles that I wsh were talked about. since they make up most of our world calories after grains. cassava, taro, yautia, etc. at least sweet potato was mentioned, plantain, too!
Little fun fact: Corn was so important to the Mayas that their mythology said the first humans were formed out of four different corn variations: yellow, black, red and white, which to them explained skin color variations.
You've talked in the past about doing a "Geography of Grains" video, and if that ever happens here are some of the major ones you shouldn't miss: Wheat Millet Barley Rice Sorghum Quinoa Rye Oats All of these have multiple varieties, so that would be a good way to stretch things out if necessary. There are also some starchy plants which are typically ground into flour and baked - cassava, sago, taro - that may help fill out the roster.

@@hanzchristiancastillo8887 Cauliflower is actually super interesting from a flavour perspective. Unlike brocclii and many other foods that have maybe 2 different flavor spectrum depending on how you cook them cauliflower has several.

Heirloom/homegrown are the worst for me- raw tomatoes smell/taste of bitter metal (it’s a receptor thing) Makes me reflexively gag. Must be cooked 1+ hours before I can eat them. If you google it, there are plenty others like me.
The history of Grains would be another great topic. I had a class in college where they associated grains to culture and it was fascinating. For instance why does the South eat biscuits and the plains toast, while the north east prefers English muffins or bagels. The prevalent grain determines the food type, along with culture of the population of course.
I have a receptor issue where raw tomatoes smell and taste of overpowering bitter metal- homegrown/heirlooms are the worst. I reflexively gag. I can’t eat them unless they’ve been cooked 1+ hour.
Listen, they say comments are good for the UA-cam algorithm so I'll add one to say: I'm shocked that you genuinely thought most people would say raw tomatoes are gross! Cherry tomatoes go in salads! Tomato sandwiches are a staple of the American south! My daughter will eat an entire carton of grape tomatoes in one sitting! Anyway keep up the great work! I love your videos!
It strains my imagination to think of Italian food without eggplant and tomato, or Indian food without peppers. Humans are neat. :) Edit: Turns out eggplant is an old world plant. Mea cupla.
Italian foods and Indian foods were completely different before the Columbian exchange. Nary a tomato or a pepper in sight. That may be why these cultures were way ahead of Native Americans in fermentation practices--to add flavor to an otherwise bland diet. Garum and chutney are what first comes to mind.

As a mexican, I can't imagine mexican gastronomy without corn and chili.
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 !
@@coucoubrandy1079 Peppers (bell, spicy, sweet), eggplant, and tomatoes are native to the Americas. Pre-exchange the old world did not have potatoes, tomatoes or peppers.
@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.
Wtf? Raw tomatoes are perfectly fine and people eat them raw all of the times.. in salads, sandwiches or even by themselves (with a bit of salt they taste just amazing).. you are weird if you think people don't eat raw tomatoes
I would recommend a "Geography of Vegetables part 2" video next. There's definitely more than enough content to fill it out, and it would make sense for it to mirror the Geography of Fruits video!
Yeah... that is one of several things that the creator of this video got way wrong? What wild plant goes extinct? You can find wild onions in some form everywhere.
Lotus is a versatile vagetable. All parts of it can be eaten like stems, roots, flowers, seeds and leaves. After some preparation. You should have included lotus (कमल) in the video.
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.
The reason behind the populair orange carrot has to do with the dutch Royal family. The farmers in the Netherlands cultivated an orange carrot because that is the color used to represent the Royal Family.
How dare you say raw tomatoes are gross?! Tomatos in salad are like a staple for me. Cucumbers, tomatoes, green peppers, onions and white cheese - the best! ... Love your content, but keep "tomatoes" and "gross" separated from now on.
Turnip and raddish greens are interesting! The bitterness is also mixed with the raddish "spice" and its actually pretty good for a salad mix, though you want the younger leaves. They get to be somewhat spiny, and older greens are better steamed like spinach in large quantities.
But that's the thing bro you're not. Lots of people like sliced tomatoes, grape tomatoes, raw on a burger, even caprese salad bro. The whole opening bit of this video is fundamentally flawed cause the creator doesn't like tomatoes and doesn't think anyone does either. His evidence is 100% anecdotal lmao
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.

Quinoa and Cassava (yuca) saying "fuck my drag, right?" . Actually perhaps a geography of grains could be another video idea. Rice, wheat, barley, rye, oats, buckwheat, couscous, quinoa, bulgur. etc. or geography of legumes like lentils and chickpeas , peanuts.
Is couscous a separate plant? I thought it was just a dish made with something else!

Quinoa is more of a new trend and still isn't that widespread in eurocentric cuisine. Yuca much less, I'm a Latino living in Europe and can tell you, nobody here knows about it. Sadly

Chickpeas/garbanzo beans are one of the earliest cultivated legumes in Mediterranean and Middle East.
These Geography of... are my favorite series of yours. We still need a Geography of beverages. Possibly two. One for alcoholic. One for everything else.
I want to add: Kasava, also the variants mandioca, aipim, inhame, etc... are extremely important and present in South America and Africa cuisine.
Bok Choy's very popular in Jamaica & other places in the Caribbean. A lot of vegetables that originate from Africa also made their way to the Caribbean and are part of our palate today like Ackee (national dish of Jamaica & originates from Ghana), okra, & yams
“Okra…never made its way to western cuisine” *the Southern US would like to know your location*
Never heard before there in Europe
Possibly brought over by slaves from sub-Saharan Africa? As a European I can tell you that okra is very alien to our native cuisines. It's actually something I've never even tried! It's on my to-do list though
Nearly any fish or fried chicken joint in the U.S. has fried okra. It's also great in stews and soup as a thickener and flavor catalyst. Cajun/creole recipe's from the south pretty much have to have okra.
Okra is also somewhat popular in southeast Asia.
It's only a commonnpart of the diet in the American south-- that, & Filé spice from Sassafras leaves. I mean, you can get okra just about anywhere in the US, but it's not commonly eaten. I usually only put it in soups or rice dishes. Comes out pretty good.
Fun fact about the ‘three sisters’ not only were they very popular but they were grown together (thus making them siblings)

Raw tomato I can kinda get given that proper fresh tomatoes are damn hard to come by, especially in winter...but cauliflower is leagues behind broccoli in all cases I've tried them in.
but it is (especially raw cauliflower vs raw broccoli)(also cauliflower with peanuts, all chopped by a food processor-but not mushed- is great, just remember the lemon juice, salt and olive oil)
Because it is.

I would reccomend Geography of Grain.
Seriously, that would be great. You have Millet in Africa and China. Emmer, Einkorn, Hulled Barley, Rye, in Levant. Psuedo Grains like Amaranth and Quinoa. Rice. Maize, etc... The diversity of Grains and the parallel domestication of similar grains a world away is incredibly interesting.
You could even go further with the Founder Crops, the Rye controversial origin, the Corn Dole of Rome (Corn meant grains... not maize) Grain Banking of Egypt. I would argue that there has been no more important a plant family in human history than Grains.
Love your videos. Just FYI, In south India, during funerals and death ceremonies, all the dishes (around 15-20 different kinds) are made from only fruits and vegetables that are native/originated to India. Example Brinjal, Snake Gourd, Bitter Melon, All parts of the banana plant except the roots, Taro, etc... Moringa, another super food has its origins in India.

I like tomatoes raw as well but I wouldn’t prefer to go that far in my opinion.
"Just a bunch of people doing something for no particular reason." yeah that's history alright.
Novelty is prized by some gardeners. It also might have been flavor. Commercial farming has a tendency to reduce selection to a few varieties. Shelf space in produce departments are at a premium, so few varieties are encouraged.

They aren't.

@@hanzchristiancastillo8887 Cauliflower is actually super interesting from a flavour perspective. Unlike brocclii and many other foods that have maybe 2 different flavor spectrum depending on how you cook them cauliflower has several.

A raw tomato is "pretty gross"?
Dude... you definitely have never tried heirloom tomatoes...
Heirloom/homegrown are the worst for me- raw tomatoes smell/taste of bitter metal (it’s a receptor thing) Makes me reflexively gag. Must be cooked 1+ hours before I can eat them. If you google it, there are plenty others like me.
I'd love to see The Geography of Fungi
The history of Grains would be another great topic. I had a class in college where they associated grains to culture and it was fascinating. For instance why does the South eat biscuits and the plains toast, while the north east prefers English muffins or bagels. The prevalent grain determines the food type, along with culture of the population of course.
Atlas Pro is the reason I’m alive.
Yea bro same. Dead for days without this boy. He actually made me want to eat my vegetables.

"Where it comes from is not as important as what you do with it."
That's deep man.....
It strains my imagination to think of Italian food without eggplant and tomato, or Indian food without peppers.
Humans are neat. :)
Edit: Turns out eggplant is an old world plant. Mea cupla.
Italian foods and Indian foods were completely different before the Columbian exchange. Nary a tomato or a pepper in sight. That may be why these cultures were way ahead of Native Americans in fermentation practices--to add flavor to an otherwise bland diet. Garum and chutney are what first comes to mind.
As a mexican, I can't imagine mexican gastronomy without corn and chili.
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 !
@@coucoubrandy1079 Peppers (bell, spicy, sweet), eggplant, and tomatoes are native to the Americas. Pre-exchange the old world did not have potatoes, tomatoes or peppers.
@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.
Wtf? Raw tomatoes are perfectly fine and people eat them raw all of the times.. in salads, sandwiches or even by themselves (with a bit of salt they taste just amazing).. you are weird if you think people don't eat raw tomatoes

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.

The reason behind the populair orange carrot has to do with the dutch Royal family. The farmers in the Netherlands cultivated an orange carrot because that is the color used to represent the Royal Family.

Turnip and raddish greens are interesting! The bitterness is also mixed with the raddish "spice" and its actually pretty good for a salad mix, though you want the younger leaves. They get to be somewhat spiny, and older greens are better steamed like spinach in large quantities.

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.
Don't most American fastfood chains (McDonald's, BK, Subway) use raw tomatoes in their sandwiches? Raw tomato is really super common.
