Unique ways some vegetables grow
Corn - Scientists believe people living in central Mexico developed corn at least 7000 years ago. It was started from a wild grass called teosinte. Teosinte looked very different from our corn today. The kernels were small and were not placed close together like kernels on the husked ear of modern corn.
Leeks – grow like onions
Strawberries and raspberries aren't really berries in the botanical sense. They are derived from a single flower with more than one ovary, making them an aggregate fruit. True berries are simple fruits stemming from one flower with one ovary and typically have several seeds.
Pineapple – grows like a bush -
Brussel sprouts – brassica family – grow on a stalk – sprouts grow out the sides of stalk
