    Botanical classifications are always crazy. Most nuts are wild too, check out walnuts. How many things we eat that are clones of a specific plant is really curious too. Apples, avocados, citrus, bananas…

      Yeah, we have a walnut tree by my house and I scratched my head the first time trying to figure out how to make them look like what we get at the store.

      Food in general is often quite different than you expect, especially now that very few people are farmers and most just buy stuff at the grocery store.
