you guys saw it live right here we need get book of world record the world of massive vegetables is a mysterious and secretive place where the competition is fierce and the measurements are extreme join us as we delve into the weird and wonderful world of enormous produce and meet some of the eccentric people who have dedicated their lives to being the biggest of them all here are the 20 biggest fruits and vegetables ever recorded [Music] number 20 giant strawberry now if you were to make one goal in this life I hope that you would at least consider making that goal to be the grower of the very biggest strawberry that the world has ever seen surely there's no greater achievement and if you're now feeling ambitious and strawberry size is important to you then you should probably know the sort of competition you'll be up against in this most worthy and important of occupations this is Ariel from Israel and he is the current world record holder for growing the official world's heaviest strawberry it was verified by the clipboard clutchers from the big old Guinness book and they determined that his Mega stob was a hefty 10. 19 Oz it was a pretty chunky size as well 7 in long and over 1 and 1/2 in thick and not in considerable 13. 38 in in circumference this strawberry was apparently grown during the season in Israel which was late January to early February and this particular year had been a cold one so the mass of strawberry had grown very slowly over the course of the 45 days before it fully ripened and weighed in at its world record size this seemed to have caused several berries to fuse together at an early stage and become one extra-large fruit these freak conditions actually produced several monster fruits on the same farm and the recordbreaker was just slightly larger than the rest fascinating really before we go on like this video smash the Subscribe button and click the notification Bell right now or this cede will crawl on your face when you're sleeping now it's time for the fancy topic well here we are in Cloud Cuckoo Land where we're told that this is an actual picture of an actual farmer who picked an actual watermelon and we're totally convinced about that I'm sure I mean for a start it takes quite some skill to grow a watermelon in a wheat field but not to give too many spoilers I'll actually be encountering the real world's biggest watermelon later on today so hang in there with me you'll get some Big Melons just yet don't worry as always you can comment down below with the # fancy topic and let me know your opinion in relation to what I've just showed you on the screen number 19 the heaviest eggplant well this feels like things have taken a rather cheeky turn or is it just me next up we have the rudest emoji that exists and it has only gone and turned into a real life object of obscene proportions Goodness Me cover your eyes well actually it turns out that size is not everything this eggplant has lost a whole lot of its form and become a rather unattractive and round looking thing but you can't have it all I suppose the proud owner of this oversized aue is Peter who was participating in the Cana UK National giant vegetables Championship back in October of 2021 and his substantial vegetable weighed in at 6 lb and 14 oz that's as big as a newborn baby if you can imagine anyways Peter seems to have some sort of green fingered credentials or perhaps his garden is next to a nuclear power plant who could possibly say since he also holds the record for the heaviest cauliflower and potato in the past he's also had world record-breaking carrots onions and parsnips this gentleman certainly enjoys telling people that he has a massive vegetable that's for sure number 18 the heaviest marrow now here we are going from one extremely silly vegetable to another are there any of them that are not so rude emojis or double on tandre anyways next up is the world's heaviest marrow I mean honestly it is a thing in the Bonkers world of gigantic vegetables Vincent who Hales from Barry Island and South Wales in the UK decided to take things to the next level I mean they all kind of do but this guy was all about the big marrows he managed to produce a monster marrow that weighed 256 lb 9.
8 o and could almost put some small cars to shame he wasn't simply content with growing any old marrow oh no he decided to show off his big ones at the Cana UK National giant vegetables championships in September of 2021 and this cheeky veg kind of stole the show this big ass marrow stretched 5 ft and 1. 8 in in length having a waistline of 1T and 11. 6 in smashing the previous record by a whopping 50 lb but what was his secret well he claims that he's got fish guts and heads to than for his impressive growing Talent that's right he feeds his marrows with gross old fish bits seems a bit unve but then again there is definitely something fishy about maros this big anyways number 17 the heaviest broad bean pod and longest leak well this guy was dedicated to his massive vegetables meet Joe Aon he's gathered a total of 16 world records for his gardening prowess which includes the longest leak which was 4T and 5 1/2 in and the heaviest broad bean pod weighing in at 3.
74 Oz He displayed his enormous veg at the Cana UK National giant vegetables Championship a place where all of the most unusual grow rowers will get together and compare their lengths he's held so many records in this time that he's up there with the very best in the big business you know like Peter and all of them so this is esteemed company indeed number 16 the heaviest mango in the heart of Colombia farmers are busy growing fruits in the regular way when they accidentally managed to cultivate a mango of unprecedented proportion when they realized that they had a Whopper on their hands they then nurtured their mango sapling on the fertile grounds of the San Martin farm and their efforts bore fruit quite literally this surprising mango when they finally harvested it turned out to weigh 9. 36 lb and was certainly No Ordinary mango the enormity of their achievement didn't go unnoticed as it was officially recognized by the clipboard clutching crew at the Guinness Book of World Records as being the heaviest mango ever recorded the previous record holder was a mango discovered in the Philippines in 2009 that weighed a mere 7. 57 which is very feeble indeed number 15 the heaviest watermelon Chris Kent from the United States loves his massive melons stop it you Saucy lot not like that well I mean maybe that it's his own business this guy has a penchant for pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the world of growing watermelons his Journey Begins in 2010 when he first clinched the record for the world's heaviest watermelon not content with that achievement he then embarked on a quest to surpass his own record in fact Chris more or less became obsessed with Big Melons in 2013 he managed to cultivate a watermelon of such sizable proportion that it remained unmatched even to today this big fat fruit weighed in at 3502 lb which is more than 15 sizes of the average watermelon it also eclipsed the previous record by an impressive 42 1/2 lb what what makes Chris's feet even more astounding is that he grew the Colossal watermelon from seeds of his own creation a unique combination of the 291 Kent and the 274 Kent varieties such record setting seeds hold significant value often fetching premium prices small packets containing just three or four of these seeds can command prices of up to $40 making them prized gems in the world of horiculture and especially amongst this unique big breed of fruits and vegetable enthusiasts number 14 the heaviest pumpkin the heavyweight champion of the fruit world is most definitely the Atlantic giant pumpkin a big fat orange Behemoth from the Squash Family that's native to North America these things well they can get very large indeed in 2021 an Italian grower by the name of Stefano krupi went further than anyone else by cultivating a colossal pumpkin that tipped the scales at a very silly 272 lb and 13.
9 Oz you guys saw it live right here we need get this book of world record to put that into perspective for you this gargantuan pumpkin outweighed a Nissan car and nearly doubled the weight of the heaviest person ever recorded so that's quite the size then his pumpkin dwarfed an ordinary one but over 100 times and the super chunk pumpkin was not only heavy it also measured 11 8 in in width and had a circumference of 17 ft and 9 in setting the bar as the largest recorded size in comp competition history the title of the world's heaviest pumpkin has been fiercely contested over the years with the record weight continually Rising hinting that there might still be room for bigger and bigger fruits in the world of giant pumpkin cultivation the journey to the heaviest pumpkin began modestly with a 1930 UK record of 92 lb but by the end of the 20th century the world record had soared to over 1,000 lb and really these things keep growing exponentially how heavy can a pumpkin truly get well according to a mechanical engineer at the Georgia Institute of Technology who's been busy doing a lot of pumpkin sums a geometrically perfect pumpkin could theoretically reach up to 20,000 lb number 13 the heaviest onion in the world of bulbous vegetables having the heftiest onions is probably somewhat of an eye watering experience but here we have the heaviest onion on record weighing in at a whopping 19 lb and 12. 4 Oz the credit for this monumental achievement goes to Gareth Griffin a grower from the UK this extra llarge onion was officially assessed by a panel of Judges from the national vegetable Society at the Harriet Autumn flower show in North Yorkshire in September of 2023 Griffin's accomplishment clobbered the existing record that had remained unchallenged since all the way back in 2014 when Tony Glover who's also from the UK grew an unusually ample onion that weighed 18 lb 11. 84 o at the very same event Gareth has been following in his Father's Footsteps as a dedicated onion grower for almost a quarter of a century and he took his quest for the world's heaviest onion quite seriously for over 13 years drawing inspiration from the achievements of competitive veg Legend and multiple record holder you guessed it good old Peter that guy's really inspired so many immense vegetables what a legend number 12 the the heaviest leak well the boasting gets extreme in this next one I mean who wouldn't want to be able to tell people that he's the owner of the world's longest leak that's going to raise a few eyebrows at the very least and possibly a few other things here we are again in the realm of colossal leaks where Paul Rochester a gardener from County Durham in the UK has discovered a unique secret to success he recently broke the world record with a magnificent leak that weighed a very substantial 23 lbs and 4.
02 o Rochester attributes his massive leak growing prowess to an unusual practice playing Glenn Miller's music to his vegetables it credits his late father Wilfred who is also an accomplished vegetable grower and lover of swing music Wilfred used to fill his Greenhouse with Classics like in the mood and Moonlight Serenade Paul's huge leak eclipsed his own previous world record that was only achieved the year before when he grew a 21b 8 O leak alongside the musical accompaniment Rochester also emphasized the importance of ample water quality fertilizers and of course tender loving care in cultivating his remarkable leaks number 11 the heaviest lemon now no doubt when you consider a lemon it's likely about the size of your palm or less especially if you have huge hands like I do but imagine a lemon that weighs over 11 lb much bigger than a new baby and that's getting close closer to this world record breaking lemon's Vital Statistics grown by a farmer in Israel who goes by the name of Aaron this lemon busted open the world record book and sent the clipboard clutchers into a fruity frenzy I mean seriously would you just look at the size of the thing the actual measurements of this extra- llarge lemon were 11. 6 lb heavier than a human head apparently and it had a circumference of 29 in standing at 13. 7 in high quite silly but it did beat the previous record for a lemon which had weighed a Ply 8.
6 lb and had stood since 1983 number 10 the heaviest jack fruit now I know this is going to be controversial but it needs to be said before we go any further jack fruit is an Abomination and it should be banished from being called a food especially by vegans I mean who are you kidding really there's no way on this Earth that this is in any way a nutritious replacement for anything except maybe cardboard and even then that may be pushing it end of Public Service Announcement pardon me apparently some people are eating this filth and they even grow it on purpose in their own backyards for that purpose it takes all sorts I suppose and this may be the world's biggest ever jack fruit it was grown by a family in India during the event that shall not be named of 2020 the grower said that it weighed 113b which is astonishing the previous heaviest jack fruit the one in the big book was only 9 4 lb so this was quite the leap forward it makes you wonder though what on Earth is going on with all of this mutant produce should we be wondering what's in the soil or the water to make things grow this extreme are you just the tiniest bit freaked out by it all let's discuss everything about big vegetables and the possible reasons for such things together in the comments down below number nine the longest cucumber as if we weren't already incredibly overs stimulated by all of these Hefty leaks and weighty watermelons we've now gone and added the world's longest cucumbers to the mix I know it's getting rather steamy in here but hang in there won't you Sebastian suski from Southampton in the UK was thrilled to bits to be awarded the official title of world's longest cucumber for his vegetable silly and it was an almost inconceivably large 3 ft and 8 in weighing in at 17 lb this would beat the previous world record by more than 2 in and it was estimated that if it had been sliced up the thing could have made more than 400 cucumber sandwiches that would feed a whole lot of Posh people because they are surely the only ones who eat cucumber sandwiches right Sebastian is a mega proud person proud of all of his super fruits and vegetables and he actually grows a lot of different outsized produce in his poly tunnel in his garden he says this top tip for growing such substantial cucumbers is always to use warm water never cold on the plants and that's surely worth a try if you happen to long for such a Big And Chunky vegetable that is number eight the world's largest green cabbage when it comes to Growing extra big fat vegetables Dave Thomas from Cornwall in the UK is no slouch he's been growing all sorts of things for decades but he's had his eye on the Ultimate Prize the world record for the biggest green cabbage now this may seem like a tiny bit of an eccentric goal in life but today we've certainly seen that a sprinkling of eccentricity definitely seems to be an essential component in the competitive world of enormous vegetables Dave Thomas has been working on growing the world's biggest cabbage for years uh it's 1248b but he's yet to beat the Big Green Monster from Alaska that bagged the title in 2012 he's won multiple other world records for his other vegetables but the Cabbage well that continues to elude him and it is quite the serious business indeed number seven the heaviest carrot in Minnesota some guy named chrisw stumbled upon a weird and nodded Marvel in his garden a colossal carrot that might soon earn him a spot in the world record books at the age of 34 he's believed to have cultivated the heaviest carrot on record boasting a staggering weight of 22. 4 lb the previous title holder good old Peter that guy really does have the most remarkable talent in the vegetable Department from the United Kingdom secured his Guinness World Record with a 20 lb carrot in 2014 I grew the world's heaviest carrot coming in at 22. 44% each of these impressive specimens into an upcoming wayof event hoping to secure his place amongst the Giants of the gardening world but does a clump of Tangled carrots equal one whole big one that is the question here but what do you think number six largest grapefruit in the world grapefruits are citrus fruits with a vibrant and tangy flavor and numerous health benefits hence the reason they've long been guzzled by dieters and aging exuberant aunts and well very few other people to be honest they come in several varieties which includes white pink and red and these fruits are a rich source of vitamin C fiber and antioxidants which can help boost the immune system and support overall health so we should probably partake a little more then and often perhaps we can be enticed by the sheer size of this one Mary Beth and Doug Meyer managed to coax a grapefruit to an astonishing size it weighed more than 7 lb 14 oz measuring a very silly sounding 28 and 3/4 in around its middle this actually meant that the humongous grapefruit from Louisiana broke no fewer than two World Records it was the heaviest and the largest by circumference so everyone was extremely thrilled and excited but nobody was really eager to eat the thing to be honest number five the heaviest sweet potato in southern Lebanon back in 2008 a farmer by the name of khil was in for a rather astonishing surprise when he Unearthed a colossal potato that weighed 24.
9 lb he could hardly believe his eyes I mean it is the stuff that dreams are made of perhaps this is the beginning of a movie where a big potato leads to a life of Adventures and Untold riches but probably not having grown this gargantuan Spud he was pretty Keen to get his name and the tuber in the Guinness World Records book it was thrilling stuff no doubt and his Big Potato really is an impressive site if you do happen to like that sort of thing number four the heaviest peach in Peach County Georgia a potential recordbreaker would be discovered at Pearson Farm in Fort Valley according to the Guinness World Records website the current title for the world's heaviest Peach stands at 1. 12 lb an honor that's been claimed by a Canadian Harvest back in 2016 however this perfect Beach was even larger than that Al Pearson the owner of the farm in question believes that his Peach is a true heavyweight it did manage to tip the scales at 1. 8 lb after all with almost 68 years of peach Growing Experience Pearson's connection to the land and its bounties runs quite deep he expressed how his particular Peach had stood out even bigger and rounder than the usual fabulous peaches that he was apt to grow and so he began to investigate if perhaps it had some potential as a world record Contender this this is always at the back of any produce growing people's minds it would seem typically peaches are significantly lighter often a third or fourth of a pound and even large ones will rarely reach a half a pound so this one is gigantic and maybe the biggest peach that ever existed except for that massive water tower peach butt thing that welcomes you when you cross over the border and into the stage of Georgia of course peon and his team have reached out to the Guinness World Records Authority and are navigating the waiting period right now we've been in contact with gin before the official verification process can begin to preserve the Peach's Integrity they plan to freeze it until they receive confirmation regarding their world record achievement fingers crossed for that one because it's an absolute Peach number three the largest okra amateur horticulturalist sadish planted okra seeds in a pot at his home never suspecting that the humble vegetable would achieve such Aston in growth but these seeds were clearly thrilled with their surroundings and they began to grow and grow and grow fast forward 3 months and one of the okra that is the weird long green vegetable that's often known as lady fingers had reached an astonishing length of 16 and 1 12 inches exceeding the existing world record for the longest Lady Finger by 3 in this would earn the man a coveted place in the limka Book of World Records an esteemed record keeping publication that's based out of India it also garnered him numerous accolades which included a trophy from the Indian association and okra is a serious business it would seem the Curious part of this achievement is that the man cannot fully explain it he used seeds from India planted them in three separate pots and then left them on his balcony while the okra and two of the pots grew to average size one in the third pot grew to this insane gargantuan size all three pots received identical amounts of water sunlight and a special manure that was crafted from goat drippings borrowed from a friend how one borrows goat drippings from a friend is not explained and in this particular pot eight pods sprouted with none measuring less than 15 in one pod in particular stood out at a whopping 16 A2 realizing the significance of this super long vegetable the man conducted an internet search and discovered the longest on record had been 13 1/2 in and uh with the ambition to secure his place in the Guinness Book of World Records he contacted the limka book with a letter from the Indian association to substantiate his claims officials from the limka book then visited his home confirming the measurements and they have their very own clipboard clutches as well it would seem he's managed to cultivate a variety of vegetables on his compact balcony and currently holds his sights on achieving the ultimate honor a mention in the big old Guinness book however a new challenge has arisen the okra pods are welting rapidly and he's concerned they may not survive the arrival of the Guinness officials he has resorted to wrapping cellophane tape around them in a bid to preserve their size until the Moment of Truth arrives will it save is okra it's a race against the clock to stop his prize vegetable drooping its way out of history number two the world record tomato Dan McCoy has dedicated the last three years of his life to cultivating giant pumpkins but this year he decided to shift his Focus to growing tomatoes in a remarkable turn of events his efforts resulted quite suddenly in the world's largest tomato that shattered the Guinness World Record which was 28 years old his tomato which weighed an impress of 8.
41 lb has now set a new world record as the heaviest tomato as confirmed by the world record Academy the previous record held for nearly three decades was only 7 lb 12 O grown by a man from Oklahoma all the way back in 1986 Beyond its size what's truly remarkable is that McCoy achieved this feat in Minnesota located further north and experience expences a shorter growing season compared to most places worldwide I don't know there is a time when people would have screeched witchcraft about someone with such green fingered skills and he's lucky to not already be on trial for the spooky business but the secret to The Big Tomato might be a bit less silly than spooky the seed he's used was a big Zack variety which is known for producing large Tomatoes these plants yield Mega blooms where several blossoms fused together to create a cluster of tomatoes could it be cheating well apparently it's not number one the biggest avocado a Hawaiian family that cultivates avocados has recently been granted official recognition for producing the world's heaviest avocado the thing was flipping huge weighing in at 5.
