I found a wild carrot in my yard last September. I had just harvested the planted carrots from my garden when I noticed a suspiciously carrot-like plant growing in the weeds way outside the veggie patch. Dug it up and sure enough I found a long, conical tuber under it. A carrot! Only it was white and fibrous and bitter. (Yeah I tasted it, for science. But definitely sweet and carroty too! I had never considered that carrots could be so close to their wild counterparts, but I guess for us to even begin cultivating a plant they have to already be edible beforehand.

6: 38 - You are unfortunately mistaken there. Vegetable is not a scientific definition. Berry on the other hand is. And while tomatoes are unmistakably berries in a botanical sense, so are lots of other vegetables like zucchini, cucumber, eggplants, and peppers for instance. Other vegetables are botanically classified as flowers, like broccoli, or as seeds, like legumes. It makes absolutely no sense to say that tomatoes aren't vegetables. They are. Are they also berries? Yes. Are they fruits? Again, yes. Still, they're also vegetables.

Aa-pee-ass-say-ay or umbelliferae. All the plants in the family can be recognized by their small white flowers shaped like an umbrella. Contains very toxic plants such as hemlock and giant hogweed as well as very delicious plants such as caraway, cumin, angelica, carrot, parsley and coriander. They all look very similar, so I wouldn't try eating some random member of this plant family.

9: 00 I am almost positive those are lenticels, i. e. pores through which air can enter a stem. The exterior of a cactus fruit is, in fact, part of the stem. Same goes for apples and pears, which also have lenticels (the tiny brown dots.

Curly parsely was invented to be able to distingiush it from a very toxic weed (Aethusa cynapium) that looks like flat parsely and often appeared in european gardens, sometimes even in between the regular parsley.

7: 00 nice stellate (star-shaped) hair on the eggplant! Note how eggplants, tomatoes and peppers keep their green calyx as they fruit. This is typical of the nightshade family (Solanaceae, to which they all belong

Hey Adam Ragusea, i know this is unrelated to the video, but is cooking wine that same as regular wine with some sort of cooking stuff to it? Or is it just plain wine that just says you can cook with it?

I really did not believe such a video could be entertaining, let alone for 13 minutes.
But I was as wrong as someone who seasons their steak instead of their cutting board!

This feels like an elementary or middle school science class with a really good teacher who set aside time in his lesson to just model/encourage curiosity and inquiry.
