Some people: "Tomatoes are vegetables" Other people: "No, tomatoes are actually fruits" Altas Pro: "Guys, you won't believe this" "Fruits are vegetables"
-
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.
-
I like how the comment section not angry because atlas said tomato is a fruit, but because he said eating raw tomato is gross 😂
-
"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.
-
"Raw tomatoes are gross" Mediterranean cuisine would like to know your location
-
"Reviving drowsy Venus" is my new favorite euphemism
-
Raw tomatoes are literally one of the best foods to eat raw!
-
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
-
Atlas: "raw tomatoes are pretty gross" Maybe the whole chat: "So you have chosen... Death"
-
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
-
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
-
“Hello, I’d like some non-GMO kale.” •laughs in Ancient Greek•
-
Who the heck dislikes raw tomatoes? What?
-
I’m now weirdly depressed at the idea the wild onion is extinct 🥺
-
"Something as american as corn orginated.. well.. just south of the border"
-
"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!
-
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?
-
" You could eat tomatoes raw, but they're kind of gross." Every culture on Earth wants to know your location
-
The geography of languages would be an interesting topic to cover.
-
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.
