Hi! I'm Gingerpale!
-
Today, we're settling an important topic.
-
'Which fruit is the best fruit?'
-
Now you gotta hear me out here, because I'm making the video, which means you don't really have a say in this debate.
-
But it's not a debate; it's just fact.
-
But I would like if you went and paused the video right now and go comment what you think the best fruit is.
-
Go ahead, I'll wait.
-
Did you do it?
-
Probably not.
-
But that's ok!
-
I bet you already thought about what your favorite fruit might be.
-
Maybe you are keeping it simple, with an apple, or an orange.
-
Perhaps you're a fan of tropical fruits like mango or pineapple.
-
Or maybe you're a little pretentious and decide to go with something weird like a dragonfruit.
-
That's a very impressive fruit!
-
I... I'm very impressed!
-
You can pick pretty much any fruit you want to be your favorite, really, except for a lemon.
-
That's just not right... you're sick.
-
No, no thanks.
-
Anyways, all of these are wrong.
-
I didn't ask about what your favorite was.
-
I asked for the best.
-
And the best is a tomato!
-
Whaaaaaaaat?!
-
For clarification, a fruit is the seed-bearing structure formed from the ovary of a flowering plant.
-
Wait, whaa... plants have ovaries?
-
Which means tomatoes are legally fruits.
-
But you probably already knew this.
-
But this also means that cucumbers, bell peppers, eggplants, pumpkins, and even avocados are all fruits.
-
Whaaaa?! I've been lied to my whole life!
-
Not really, people seem to associate sweetness with fruit and savory with vegetables.
-
I associate vegetables with grossness.
-
Got them! I've got them...
-
Stop. Don't do that.
-
But now, with all this new information in mind, look at all these fruit options we have!
-
All of these are fruit.
-
But tomatoes are still the winner.
-
Why?
-
Here's some important factors.
-
Tomatoes are in many dishes enjoyed by everyone, even people who claim to not like tomatoes!
-
They make great sauce for pasta.
-
They're a key ingredient to pizza.
-
You can make salsa, bruschetta, you can make grilled tomatoes put them on a bun.
-
Not common, but I'd eat it!
-
But if you don't like something like bananas, you pretty much steer clear of everything that has bananas because they don't transform like tomatoes do.
-
They're so versatile!
-
We use them to eat. We drink them.
-
Look, Spain loves them so much they're throwing them at each other every year!
-
I don't see no durian fights.
-
They're too sharp and when they open they smell like corpses!
-
While tomatoes are soft and fleshy, and they smell like not corpses!
-
They're also the most consumed fruit in the world.
-
60 million tons produced a year!
-
That number pretty much means nothing to most of us, but hey!
-
That's a lot, I think! They're making lots! They must be good!
-
And look at all these colors they come in!
-
There's red, yellow, purple, green.
-
Is that one ripe? Maybe wait a bit!
-
Assuming many of you guys might be millennials, I think it may interest you that tomatoes are 100% vegan!
-
I do like that!
-
Now, this wouldn't be fair if we didn't cover some negatives.
-
And I couldn't think of any, so I looked some up.
-
"Tomatoes taste like blood."
-
Okay, I was gonna question why you know what blood tastes like, but I totally thought, "Hm! Blood kinda tastes like coins!"
-
And now I'm wondering why I know what blood and coins taste like.
-
"Tomatoes have poisoned many people."
-
Okay, half true.
-
200 years ago they were eating them off lead plates and people were dying, but I mean, you're putting a fleshy, acidic fruit on top of a lead plate.
-
That one's kind of on you guys!
-
"Overconsumption of tomatoes can lead to acid reflux, kidney problems, irritable bowel syndrome, diarrhea, urinary pr-"
-
Wow, there is a lot. We're gonna... we're gonna stop th...
-
Hey guys, we're all outta time!
-
There are no real negatives!
-
They're perfect!
-
