What do the fruits look like before being tamed by humans?

Over thousands of thousands of people, with breeding techniques, people have created crops that are far from their ancestors.

According to Science Alert, unlike genetic modification (GMO), the technique directly connects genes from other organisms (such as bacteria) to plants to create desirable traits, such as pest resistance, select Breeding is a slower process. Farmers must choose varieties and cultivate crops over time. To date, many fruit and food crops have been far removed from their ancestors.

This is Giovanni Stanchi's 17th-century watermelon painting, very far from today's watermelon. From the cut of the melon it can be seen that its internal structure consists of 6 vortex triangles.Although there is a suspicion that this may be unripe or dried melon, but if you look at the black color of the seeds, you can see that this is a ripe melon painting.(Photo: Wikimedia Commons)

Over time, humans created watermelon varieties with bright red flesh and flesh, as shown in the picture, even with seedless watermelons.(Photo: Scott Ehardt / Wikimedia)

Bananas can start growing 7,000 to 10,000 years ago, in what is today Papua New Guinea.They are also grown in Southeast Asia.Bananas today originate from two wild bananas, Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana as shown in the picture.This banana variety has little meat, hard seed.(Photos: Wikipedia)

Throughout history, eggplant has many different shapes and colors, such as white, blue, purple, yellow.They are earliest grown in China.The original eggplant variety has thorns in the flower stalk.

The selection process has removed the thorns, giving us the bigger, elongated, purple eggplant fruits that can be found everywhere selling vegetables.

Carrots are known to grow earliest in Persia and Asia Minor, around the 10th century. Initially, their bodies were purple or white with small roots, dividing branches as shown.The purple part then changes to yellow.

Farmers have modified the small, white root carrots with a strong odor, two years of flowering once to become edible orange root carrots, harvested every winter.

The best example of the breeding process.The North American sweet corn variety is made from a type of teosinte plant that is almost impossible to use as food.The natural corn on the image began to be planted by humans around 7,000 BC, tasted like a dried potato, according to chemistry teacher James Kennedy.

Today, corn is about 9,000 years older than corn, about 1,000 times, easy to grow and peel.It contains 6.6% of sugar, compared with only 1.9% of ancient corn, according to Kennedy.This change began around the 15th century, when Europeans started growing corn.

Natural peaches began to be planted by Chinese people around 4,000 BC, the fruit flesh was small, there was a place like earth, slightly salty, sour, sweet, according to Kennedy.

After thousands of years of breeding, peaches are 64 times bigger today, 27% more water and 4 times sweeter.
