Did you know that sometimes rarely foods will sprout and start growing within the food that is still growing right out of the ground On this episode we ll take a look at 6 food growing within themselves This phenomenon is called vivipary which happens when seeds don t enter their final developmental stage being maturation drying Natures design has seeds requiring a set amount of time once they are dried before they can open again and create a new plant This is heavily dependant on the seed and the climate but in a northern climate seeds must experience cold temperatures then wetness followed by warm temperatures before they sprout Opening a lemon with a big green sprout in it is probably not the most appetizing thing in the world but isn t as bad as in other fruits Lemons sprout within themselves very rarely Unexpectedly corn can grow right on the cob inside the husk which is not all that appealing but still perfectly edible Seeds that don t complete their maturation drying state will sprout immediately such as with this corn which is what we have here with viviparous foods Vivipary is considered to be a genetic mutation but is still dependent on the weather for it to occur Papaya is another food that will start growing a nice little patch of sprouts right in the center of the fruit Amazing how this is possible with no direct sunlight available There are a few plants in nature that naturally grow like this such as the mangrove or Rhizophora mangle This unique plant often grows on the sides of waterways and even directly underwater even though the majority of the plant is above water It sprouts and grows right off the plant in an endless cycle There are a few different situations that ll increase the chances of seeds sprouting Foods kept in the refrigerator are more likely as the cold environment reduces seed dormancy A perfect example of this is tomatoes While the most disgusting looking example as it looks like it has worms inside they have a greater chance of germinating in the fridge as there seed cycle thinks the fridge is the winter cycle in nature Fresh fruits and vegetables purchased at a farmer s market is also more likely to be viviparous Small farmers will harvest their crop when it is properly ripe and not earlier like what is done with mass commercial crops Older more mature produce will also have seeds that are more mature and ready to sprout It doesn t matter the size of the seed either as you can see here avocadoes with their massive seeds can sprout too The most shocking interesting and weird of them all is the strawberry though Technically the strawberry is an aggregate fruit and not a berry Every one of the seeds on the outside of a strawberry can grow into a full plant but almost all new strawberry plants grown today come from cuttings from an already grown strawberry plant and not from seed Check out some of our other videos Top 10 Fruits You ve Never Heard Of Part 2Top 10 Fruits You ve Never Heard OfTop 5 Most EXTREME Roller CoastersTop 10 Craziest Lego Creations Lego Sculptures to Blow Your Mind Top 10 LONGEST LIVING Creatures on EarthTop 10 Most Dangerous Cliffside RoadsFor copyright matters please contact titantoplist gmail comCheck us out on social media Here at Titan Top List you ll experience the world s best mysteries science facts news conspiracies inventions scams movies games and amazing animals If you enjoy our educational youtube entertainment like the video and share a comment Intro music thanks to Machinmasound Rallying the Defense Titan Top List is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon com
