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.
