China was the top producer until their 1 child policy, now India's overtaking China, though China's 1.43 billion people compared to India's 1.36 shows India's closing the gap. Interestingly enough, the top producer of humans per capita (ie has highest % change in population) is actually Bahrain in Asia with a growth rate of about 4.6%.

Olive was originated from an area between Syria and Iraq. The time it was domesticated civilization even hadnt arrived to Italy. Grape and wine both were domesticated and made first in Zagros Mountains of Western Iran. Mangos are domesticated in India and India is the biggest producer not China.

Even as a northern/central Canadian, I feel this. Never mind fruits originating here, most won't even grow, here. We have a very short apple season, as well as a few other very hardy fruit trees that can grow reasonably well... But we're not prime growing ground for much. Probably obvious, but I feel very fortunate for the globalisation of seasonal produce. If not for that, we would have to go back to eating a small variety of canned and dried fruits and veggies, compotes, jams, and similar, for the majority of the year. 😭

I’d love to see a video about the origins of spices and herbs. Great video and I agree with you about cantaloupe and grapefruit!

[@Hyper_Bola]

Meanwhile while the "origin of spices" Book gets written somewhere and then it gets published, you can spend your meaningful life reading "origin of species". . Except Allspice (origin west Indies), Nutmeg (upper South America) & Chilli Pepper (Mexico, Chile, Panama, Gautemala etc), almost all other spices invariably came from the green monsoon archipelago of Malaysia, Sarawak, Taiwan, East Indies, Borneo, Papua New Guinea and of course Indonesian islands. . The reason is simple. Actually, when the Indian subcontinent plate drifted from the outskirts of Africa and rammed into Asian plate.....it lifted the Asian plate to form the tall himalaya hills. . Before that the South Asian land was sort of down to earth with Today's GOBI DESERT being the largest fresh water lake in the world. . Most of the islands were all connected with the main land. . Then the sea was far lower and more than 50% of the sea today around the lower eastern part of Asia was actually all connected to the mainland itself. . Then it was directly attracting MONSOON almost 6-10 months a year and the entire land was full of green forest, with thousands of unique species of plants growing diversifying and simultaneously, protecting themselves from giant herbivores (bovines, reptiles etc) by creating spicy flavour in their leaves and stems, to make it taste bad. . There are minor exceptions like Dried pomegranate seeds originate from middle East and Africa. Tamarind originate from African continent. Bay leaf originate from Mediterranean countries. . Download GOOGLE EARTH and watch carefully....beyond Australia on it's EAST if you watch carefully, you can see a giant continent below the sea. Today few islands are left with mainland under the sea. . Also see below Australia. New Zealand is sitting on another huge continent, most of it now under sea due to the rising sea levels. . Same way is Hawaii islands🏝🏝🏝. 😊😊😊

[@milic5068]

I am kinda confused about strawberries because here in Serbia we have wild greener and tinier strawberries that have been collected by our people for hundreds of years, but my guess they are a species of raspberries and when the modern-day strawberries came here they looked and tasted really close to the species of raspberries we had here that we distinguished from the regular raspberries so we just started calling strawberries that name because we thought it was the same fruit.

China produces that much because it has a lot of arable land and also a lot of demand from its internal large population, same with India.

I always assumed that fruits evolved because animals selected them for sweetness and injested the pips (and excreted them in a pile of compost). And so fruits with small pips were eaten by smaller animals, and ones which had big pips eaten whole by bigger animals... so a plum seed was likeley eaten by something like a horse and a mango seed was easten probably by elephants. Its definately true in the UK that blackberry grows wild because the birds spread it.

I am not saying is not a delicious fruit. But one thing is the taste on a dessert and another the raw fruit itself. Maracuya or passion fruit is very acidic. I love lemon cakes but I can't really eat a whole lemon raw, or at least I don't enjoy it. The same with pumpkins, on desserts are delicious, but not raw.

What's even cooler is that if you go outside into the landscape of whatever country you're living in, many of the plants and animals you see will not have originated in that landscape. An example would be Lagomorphs such as rabbits, and fruits such as strawberries in the British Isles. Rabbits originated on the Eurasian mainland, and strawberries from the Americas. However, if you go outside into the woods or countryside, you will see lots of rabbits and strawberry plants, as if they had always been a part of the ecosystem.

[@revilo00]

Think of how many fruits aren't avaible worldwide or are disappearing! Many species are actually bleing plowed down and replaced by commercial fruit. Also traditional knowledge of local flora becomes smaller, when you can just go to the aisle and pick a banana from half across the world. My fav yter Weird Fruit Explorer sometimes pointa this out.
