Humens: originated in east africa, but now, you guess right, the top producer is china
It is India indeed
China, India, USA, Indonesia, and Brazil.
*The Human Nuke Top 5*
thats actually not true its India
Lol
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%.
Someone: *A new fruit is created*
China: give me the plant
Me: i wilk nuke you, china.
They do have to feed all those people
Produce everything means that our Chinese can buy all kinds of food with a low price.....
For example, watermelon is about 30 cent/kg in summer. People in China doesn't need to worry the cost of food in daily life.
@@dynamitekitty2598 ??? is this even a joke?
@@yilongliu2353 yes and no
Fruit: Exists
China:Im about to produce this man's whole career
hahahha
Lol
XD
It's not surprising as China is the 3rd largest country with the largest population and all of the different climates and biomes within in borders.
@@generalsmedleybutler340must be why it doesn’t wanna give up all those should be countries like Tibet and the rest
China be like: Don't mind if I produce half of anything
not milk....90% Chinese have lactose intolerance problems
Produce half of it with half the production in the Californian desert.
"since they float in water they are easily and quickly dispersed"
So coconuts do migrate....
You see fish like to grab them by the husk and then swim away with them. Small fish sometimes group up and tie a string to it so that they can help the migration
Why would a fish do that? What sort of fish is it? 😉
@@thomasedgerley7453 Wait is that an actual question?
@@JeerHiAm Well I still need to know how the coconut got to Mercia
@@thomasedgerley7453 ok then yeah I was trying to reference Monty Python, in that when they were discussing how they could migrate it was said that an African swallow could grab it by the husk and that European might be able to lift one if there were multiple and they tied a string around the coconut...I was describing how they migrate in the ocean
Random Country: *grows fruit*
China: Ill take your entire stock.
Thier population ready to reach 2bils
That was a good one 😅😅
Random Country: NOOO!!!
You only need a couple of seeds to grow your own stock...
@@maggotissepputist7364 actually there are 350 billion Chinese a local told me
The colors he used to shade the regions were soooo satisfying.
Fabulous?
Mango is the national fruit of India and is also referred to as the "king of fruits" in India. It's an understatement to say Indians love mangoes. A variety of different mangoes are sold in the summer. Each having a different size, color, texture, juicyness, taste and fragrance. The world does not know what they're missing on!
Mango is amazing
Mango is also the national fruit of Pakistan and the Philippines as well 🥭🇮🇳🥭🇵🇰🥭🇵🇭
I love mango! 🥭
Oh, that actually explains why the Hawaiian mangosteens are considered the queen of fruits lol
The guy seriously ommited this delicious fruit from the video what a pity
*picks up any random fruit*
fruit: "made in China"
More like anything on earth
Did you know that made in china stickers are made in Korea
I know right?!? No wonder the store fruit has less flavor than the fruit in my tree.
It actually depends, in the US everything either comes California, Mexico or surrounding areas

That's an interesting fact, thanks! Funny how apple in Turkish is "Elma", guess I now know where the Turkish name comes from. (same for "Kiraz" for cherries by the way.)

"Many of our favorite fruits originated in entirely different landscapes."
Me, an Alaskan: Sure, rub it in :(
awwww
Pills _ i dont get it :(
@@beepbeep4745 Alaska is a very cold region in the Arctic circle so it's not suitable for fruit growing
the artic has the best sea food
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. 😭
You should have talked about Mangos and Oranges more, also where my Mango lovers at?

Tomatoes: botanically a fruit, culiarily a vegetable, and source of lots of arguments on the distinction.
Why can't it be both a fruit and a vegetable? >:)
Vegetables are parts of a plant you eat, and fruits are a specific part of the plant that holds the seeds. As a long-time fruit vs. vegetable debater, I now see no reason why they should be mutually exclusive categories.
Tomatoes are having an identity crisis
So are cucumbers and peppers, yet everyone seems to get their panties in a twist when it comes to Tomatoes.
"ooooOOOooOOh, but it is a fruit!" Yea so's half your vegetable soup.
May I suggest fr the next big ""argument"" t be abut how capers are flower buds?
(Obviously while ignoring broccoli and cauliflower exist)
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!
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🏝🏝🏝.

Fruit growers: “How many plants do you want?”
China: *“Yes”*
And Japan makes them all expensive!
Yeah, it’s better quality, but they produce fruits that are not good for everyday eating. Bcs it’s really expensive
But at least they make it better

Funny enough, cantaloupe is known as "melón chino" in Mexico. Literally translates to "Chinese melon."
Likewise, in many languages "orange" means "Chinese apple".
We just call it melon 🤷
So watermelon is “water cantaloupe” right? And what a clementine anyway

The two look alike, which may be why things are called the way they are.

My mango had hairs on it
Mangoes are the most awesome food
I have a PhD in plant science and studied the origin of many of these species.
There are so much inaccurate info as well as completely wrong information in this video.
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.
And it is not strange China is ranked first on many fruits as it has 1/5 of the world population.
Yes mangoes are the best

I used to live in a house where the previous owners were apparently gardening-crazy...we had two cherry trees, a fig tree, two different kinds of plums, crabapples, an apricot tree, wild green onions, a Concord (?) grape vine and a small patch of strawberries. Also random mint and mustard plants in the far backyard.
Now that I know where each of those ORIGINALLY came from...damn!
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. I assume what we call strawberries here and what we call wild strawberries have little to do with each other, but I'm not sure

There are many fruits native to Brazil that are quite unknown in the rest of the world, a very famous one locally is the seriguela. The world should know her.
Love seriguela juice! Just don't know a easy way to extract it... The only time I bought, it took me a very long time to extract the pulp...

@LYRICSdonor Lol mad European spotted. Sorry buddy, but these are facts.
Lol
It's amazing how deep Eurocentrism runs.
I was surprised about raspberries, they (along with blackberries) grow in the wild a lot here in northern new england so i’ve always thought they were native
They are native. Everything that grows in Northern Europe had to repopulate the areas after the last ice age.
Durian, Rambutan, Dukuh, Klengkeng are cries in the corner.
Durian And Rambutan Got Included on the second vid
China I thought you were giving us only electronics.
Thing is most of these fruits aren't associated with China's cuisine (CHina also is one of the world's largest producers of potatoes) But because they are so big with so many people and labour is inexpensive that to delegate just a fraction of their resources to producing these still means they're producing way more than any other country
@@serena-yu yeah after your message, I did a bit of research and found that they do import a lot of fruits. But what I couldn't understand is, assuming them as heavy meat eaters and how fruits have become a major part of their diet.
My point was that they do import some fruits like durian, cherries , grape's & banana which they use and export many for business, not all the fruits that they manufacture are consumed by them.
China invented a lot of things i.e. paper and the compass.
@Ajay Singh almost? Lol, they are

Hey! You didn't mention that wild strawberries are still found in Northern Europe. We have some in our backyard and around my neighborhood
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. US falls behind in fruits because it mainly produces crops like soybeans or corn and meat/livestock like beef which it leads in the world. India leads in world milk production and etc. Ultimately it depends on factors like culture, climate and labour and these make China more competitive in producing certain fruits.
Well, not quite. China arable area is almost the same as USA. But the difference is climate. China have a rain season and that makes for harvest different from USA.
@Ajay Singh China is not the world leader in agriculture techniques. That honor belongs to USA, Australia, Argentina.
@Ajay Singh China has deficit of food. It's the major buyer of food in the world.
China is eating its own fruit. They’re not exporting it to America. Americans grow most of their own fruits or get them from South America
@bj2690 No. It's not.

You missed oranges while hitting a bunch of less common citrus varieties.
A better approach for citrus might have been to identify the three progenitor species (mandarin, citron, pomelo) and listing hybrids afterwards in chronological order.
I would love that kind of video.
yes, that would have been a better approach,
pears and apples are from same plant family, that why is 't still pretty ease to ent a branch of one on a tree of the other..
so would have made more sense to speak of them togheter instead of having 5 other fruits in between,
same goes for citrus fruits, logically lemon, lime, orange and so originate from same region. the clementine cross was a surprise :) there .

To add up, every citrus comes from southeast Asia, every apple like fruit comes from Central Asia and if you thing os any other fruit there's a 50% chance it came from the middle east.

Super Interesting video. Thank you.
I think that one of the most important fruits he didn't mention is Theobroma cacao, "Cacao", originally from central México to Central América, Gahana and Cote d'Ivory are the frist producers, also produced by Brazil and others in America, and this fruit is produced for making cocoa powder and cocoa butter, for making "xocolatl"(shocolatl), "bitter water", mixed with sugar and milk for getting chocolate candiles. This guy put Cacao in Spices.
Tomato, from south America, trade by Incas and Mesoamericans, named "xictomatl"(shictomatl), that mean "umbilic tomato"-"bellybotton tomato", trade by Mexicas and Spaniards during expeditions, Spaniards traded tomatos with Italy and Italy with China.
Zapotl- from south Mexico and Central America, I think is important fruits, Zapotecas used this fruits for long time its sweet and tasty, the rubber of the trees were used for making xicle (shiclE) - "chicle"-"bublegum".
cacao is native to the amazon rainforest bro
Cacao and chocolate have pots and cultivation ruffley starting in Ecuador
Cacau vem da Amazônia. O que vem do México é o chocolate.

The middle east allegedly used to be much greener way back in ancient times (Hanging gardens of Babylon as an example). So it makes sense why so many fruits originated there.

Can we take a moment to appreciate the amount of research this guy gives us....... wish I could like twice 👍
me too.
yeah about 30 minutes of browsing Wikipedia.
You could make an alt account
This is mostly Wikipedia style research.
Don't forget the animation or the script, those are probably even harder than the research.
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.
Passion fruit juice is delicious. In Peru, it's pretty common, and it tastes amazing.
Brazil too
Isn't it wild how we just grab food from everywhere like its normal
Modern civilisation rocks. This is why I'm very much against it collapsing due to climate change or nuclear war. The availability of various foods, indoor plumbing and the internet are what makes life worth living.
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.
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.
Says "Armenia" then highlights Azerbaijan:

In Greece we have wild sweet cherries growing, hell my family owns a farm that produces cherries
The oldest solid evidence of agriculture is ~20,000 years ago in the Jordan River Valley with wild wheat, but it is possible that they did that earlier
"Grapefruits, which are gross"
*One of my favorite fruits*
Grapefruit is gross.
who think they are gross doesnt know how to eat it.
If you are a supertaster(meaning flavors are intensified) the bitterness is overwhelming. You probably have weak taste buds
Grapefruits are amazing
mei yang teach me your ways of eating grapefruit. I’ve always wanted to eat it but it’s, to simply put it ,just gross.
China is on full super saiyan mode😂
Evolution : generate a new fruit specie somewhere on the globe
China : We'll take it from there
Very interesting! thanks :)
The fact that you gave qamquats(wtf is that even) more screentime than the glorious mango is an atrocious sin!!!
Bruh kumquats are the shit. You must have one. Heckin tasty. If they're ripe. Also, you can eat the peel. It's heckin tasty. Yeah. You eat the whole thing like it's a god damn grape without taking the peel off.
