Common Foods Beginning With B | Interesting Facts & Pictures

Blueberries

Blueberries can be divided into lowbush (wild) or highbush (cultivated) varieties. Lowbush blueberries existed in North America for centuries, while highbush blueberries were first cultivated in Whitesbog, New Jersey, in 1916.

Barley

Barley is one of the earliest known cultivated grains with remains from the Fertile Crescent area (Syria, Turkey, Israel, Iran, and Iraq) dating back as far as 8000 BCE.

Pin

Bagels

Unlike many other baked goods, bagels are boiled before baking. The boiling results in a durable exterior — and boiling water can contain salt or honey.

Pin

Bananas

Although bananas are touted as high in potassium (at 8% of the USDA Daily Value, or DV), a 100-gram banana actually has a higher daily percentage of vitamin B6 — at 31% DV.

Pin

Blackberries

Blackberries are not botanically considered a true berry — they are considered an aggregate fruit (like strawberries or raspberries), the result of several separated flower ovaries merging into one.

Pin

Beans

Along with corn and squash, beans are known as one of the “Three Sisters” — a Native American configuration of crops grown to benefit one another. While corn grew high and squash blocked weeds, the beanstalks climbed the corn and provided nitrogen to the soil.

Pin

Basil

In Taiwanese cooking, basil is deep-fried and served mixed with (or on top of) pieces of fried chicken.

Pin

Beef

The most expensive beef in the world is considered to be Wagyu beef, which originates from one of four breeds of Japanese cattle. Higher grade Wagyu beef can cost upwards of $200 a pound.

Pin

Burgers

Though the exact origins of the hamburger are unknown, they seem to date back to the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Hamburg steak may be an antecedent, a patty-shaped minced-meat dish served in restaurants at that time around New York.

Pin

Bread

Some breads are leavened not with yeast, but barm — the foam that forms on top of fermenting beer or wine.

Pin

Beets

Beets (also known as beetroot) can be boiled, roasted, pickled, or even made into wine. The raw portion of the root of the beet plant is 88% water.

Pin

Broccoli

Broccoli gets its name from the Italian Brocco, which means bud, shoot, or sprout. Broccoli is grown in 15% of home gardens in the United States.

Pin

Bacon

Bacon can come from the side or back of a pig. Side bacon is the streaky, long type and back bacon can resemble pork chops (which are also cut from the back). Bacon is cured and smoked before being ready to be prepared at home.

Pin

Barbecue

The word “barbecue” likely derives from the Taino language — traditionally spoken by the indigenous Taino peoples of the Caribbean. The word “barabicu” means “sacred pit” in Taino and describes the wooden platform-based slow cooking of meat.
