For a change of pace from policy and seed sector analysis, Seed World Europe occasionally dives into the lighter side of our sector with a series of “Fun Facts” on the crops we often take for granted. These pieces shine a spotlight on the quirky histories, surprising traits, and hidden wonders behind familiar foods — inviting readers to look beyond what appears on their plates. By uncovering lesser-known stories and curiosities, we hope to spark a bit of joy and appreciation for the extraordinary diversity of the plant world. As we look back, here are the latest fun explorations into the crops that feed, intrigue, and sometimes even astonish us.
