Some people: "Tomatoes are vegetables" Other people: "No, tomatoes are actually fruits" Altas Pro: "Guys, you won't believe this" "Fruits are vegetables"

"Raw tomatoes are gross" Mediterranean cuisine would like to know your location

I like how the comment section not angry because atlas said tomato is a fruit, but because he said eating raw tomato is gross 😂
-
" You could eat tomatoes raw, but they're kind of gross." Every culture on Earth wants to know your location
-
Who the heck dislikes raw tomatoes? What?
-
I'd love to see the geography of fabrics, as it was one of the most important goods to help societies grow. Linen, cotton, silk and all the other ones I don't even know of, organzas and whatnot.

"Wild onions have actually gone extinct" Maybe the species from which grocery store onions descended has gone extinct, but wild onions are absolutely not extinct.

“Hello, I’d like some non-GMO kale.” •laughs in Ancient Greek•

"Reviving drowsy Venus" is my new favorite euphemism
-
Atlas: "raw tomatoes are pretty gross" Maybe the whole chat: "So you have chosen... Death"

Awesome video! I love the story about the three sisters, the vegetables were planted toghter because the plants had a mutualistic relationship. The squase would protect the ground from the sun, the beans would creat nitrogen with their roots and the corn would sustain the beans. Native people would farm them togheter because of it
-
"Prefer to cook tomatoes???" Shocking! Most of us in the Caribbean actually eat tomatoes raw especially in salads. To hear you say that was truly strange! Fascinating presentation all the same. Great information!
-
Atlas Pro: expecting to be roasted for which plants he considers vegetables and which he doesn't The comments: roast Atlas Pro for not eating raw tomatoes
-
Chili peppers: Produce capsaicin so they dont get eaten Some human: This plant makes me feel like my mouth is on fire, but thats honestly kinda lit. Chili peppers: Excuse me, what the fuck?

Okra made its way to western cuisine. In the American South, especially in Louisiana fried okra is a delicacy and a side dish pairing with barbecue
-
Raw tomatoes are literally one of the best foods to eat raw!
-
Hank Green: "Butt is Legs" Atlas Pro: "Tomatoes are vegetables" Just when you think you've heard it all.
-
I’m now weirdly depressed at the idea the wild onion is extinct 🥺
-
I want to add: Kasava, also the variants mandioca, aipim, inhame, etc... are extremely important and present in South America and Africa cuisine.
-
The geography of languages would be an interesting topic to cover.
