20 Weird Food Facts That Would Make You Question Whatever You Eat

by Chelsi

If you're a foodie or someone who enjoys eating in general, you'd know a lot about the delicious food. But what about knowing crazy facts about them?

We see and go through numerous amounts of food in our life. We scroll through all kinds of products in grocery stores or markets on a regular basis.

You'd see some food often throughout your life and some even end up being your favorites or bringing you comfort. They'd look mundane and uncomplicated but sometimes there's more to them than what meets the eye.

Food has a rich history. They've served a purpose more than for eating and so people have developed and harvested food even from the most mind-blowing of places.

It might not be surprising then that they come from weirder places even if we see them on our table on a daily basis. But we'd like to try and see if these food facts would surpass your imagination.

If you haven't heard of Horse-Flesh flavored ice cream or peanut butter fears then our list of food facts could go either way for you. If you're even a little bit curious though then we've got lots.

This list could either upgrade you to a new level of a food expert or demote you to being a picky eater. Yep, they're that crazy and quite frankly, disturbing.
