These Foods Don’t Grow The Way We Imagined

Dates

We all love a date, right? We’re not talking about the kind of date that involves a dinner and a show – although that’s pretty fab, too. We’re talking about the sweet fruit that you’ve probably got in your pantry right now. Dates are extremely popular fruits, but what you might not realize is that they are actually grown on palm trees!

You probably won’t see any dates sprouting out of the palm trees in Beverly Hills anytime soon, but the date palm can be found around Northern Africa, South Asia, and the Middle East. Dates grow to be a beautiful yellow color, but begin to turn brown and shrivel up as they ripen.
