Tomatoes.
Many pastas sauces, many pizzas, caprese, BLTs.
I’ve got bowls of sungolds on my counter right now that are like eating candy.

I did not realize about the cashew. Or that poison ivy (its close relation) is also mostly 'enjoyed' within the confines of NA.

I don't expect anything like a runaway consensus winner here. I thought when I made the poll that it would draw votes in every direction. Deservedly. What fascinated me was the wide variety of excellent crops on the list and how enthusiastically they have been embraced by the whole world. It's one of the few tangible good things to have shaken out of colonialism.

papaya is fine if not underripe/overripe - real disappointing fruit champion is the dragon fruit.

Fartichokes are delicious. And there are ways around the flatulence if you're so inclined.

From Wikipedia:
Italian settlers in the United States called the plant girasole, the Italian word for sunflower, because of its familial relationship to the garden sunflower (both plants are members of the genus Helianthus). Over time, the name girasole (pronounced closer to [dʒiraˈsuːlə] in southern Italian dialects) may have been changed to Jerusalem.

I know I'm going to sound dumb but why isnt rice in this list?
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Wednesday, 21 August 2019 03:48 (four years ago) link
There's a variety generally called 'wild rice' that's found in the New World, but it is also found in Asia, and all the more common varieties of rice are Asian.
From Wikipedia article "Rice":
The current scientific consensus, based on archaeological and linguistic evidence, is that rice was first domesticated in the Yangtze River basin in China.[
From Wikipedia article "Wild Rice":
Wild rice (Ojibwe: manoomin; also called Canada rice, Indian rice, and water oats) are four species of grasses forming the genus Zizania, and the grain that can be harvested from them. The grain was historically gathered and eaten in North America, India and China.
