18 Terrifying Pics Show What Happens When Fruits And Veggies Start Sprouting Early

Just like humans, fruits and vegetables also have a cycle of life, filled with constant growth and changes. And, just like humans, their populations also have some weird fruits that don't fit in within the norms. Alterations in farming technology and methods, GMOs, and other factors can alter plants' appearances so much, they might start looking like something from Chernobyl.

Bored Panda has compiled a list of terrifyingly cool photos of awesome fruits and funny vegetables that proves how easily the common become bizarre. From strawberries sprouting seeds while they're still on the plant, to randomly blooming artichokes, and forever growing vegetables that seem never to stop expanding these plants would surprise even the most experienced gardeners. Scroll down to vote for your favorite flora Frankensteins, and feel free to upload your own photos of unexpected seed germination.

If you live in the South, put it in a planter, and when it takes off, plant the entire thing into the ground, in your back yard, and you will have an avocado tree which will pay you dividends later on. :D

That's my very thoughts as well PN. These 'so called' responsible posters are doing all they can to make their work look better than it really is. So, they add glowing, or frightening manure in order to gain attention to you, me, and others. This has got to stop. We're supposed to be adults and should have the maturity to at least act as such. And if they don't do a good joy, we should all be on them like "Stink on Sh-t". Sorry if I appear going overboard, but I have passed through disappointment, and currently in the "aggravated stage.

Well, it's not something unnatural but such early sprouting fruits are not quite common and admit it, some fruits and veggies(especially the strawberries) looks like they are from another world.

Well the potatos and strawberries looked a bit freaky.

Is it just me who isn't terrified or uncomfortable looking at things which are completely normal and natural.. not to mention commonplace enough not to be panicked about ?Or am i missing something here !!!??????

I absolutely love it! When anything in my fridge starts to grow, I put it in the soil. I tryed to grow chilli, potatoes, avocado, oranges... And I have no garden, just balcony. My daughter wants to buy some seeds everytime, when she notices them in grocery store.

Kathy Sacksteder 7 years ago

Yeah, the primary reason fruit exists is to provide nutrients for the seeds within it to start growing or to attract animals that will eat the fruit and disperse the seeds. I didn't find anything creepy about any of these.

Terrifying... not at all. Except maybe the papaya. That one looks disgusting. But I did enjoy seeing the other ones. I'd never seen a strawberry sprout before :D

Agree! On the contrary I found this post really amazing since it shows yet again how nature has its ways and will fight to sprout, grow, pierce plastic etc in order to survive!!

Terrifying really? Growing plants? Let's fear the killer tomatoes strike back !

its called trypophobia, and its very common.
