Many of us don’t realize that peanuts are actually a beautiful looking flower, as they're known for their edible seeds. These seeds are classified as an oil crop due to its high oil content. In 2014, world production of the crop saw around 42 million tonnes grown and distributed. That’s really a lot of nuts!

The origin of this bizarre plant famously comes from Brussels, where the plant got its name from. The plant is relative to the cabbage family. However, rather than growing closer to the ground, these pods tend to grow upwards from the ground. They're ‘sprouting’ edible buds which we've all come to love (or hate.)


7) Almonds

The almond tree is a species of tree native to the Middle East and parts of North America. The seed itself grows in the fruit of the tree, called a drupe, which is a hard shell that grows around the almond, which is not actually a seed. Believe it or not, almonds are more closely related to peaches than actual nuts.


8) Cinnamon

This amazing plant has been around since the earliest record histories. According to legends, the Oromo people in Kaffa in Ethiopia were thought to be the first to recognize the effects of caffeine in the plant, although this has yet to be proven. Coffee originates from the cherry of a Coffea plant; the coffee bean is harvested from the inside, and then roasted to make your familiar cup of coffee.
