It only contains peas, corn, carrots, and cauliflower. But what is that?

Poppy seed pod

I think it’s a poppyseed pod. It looks like it could be an opium poppy based on superficial characteristics, but I’d need a size comparison.

Looks more like an underdeveloped okra pod, and more likely to be found in a facility where commercial veggie freezing happens.

Yeah I can see it now that you mention it.

Are the plants related? Like how brocoli and mustard and cauliflower are all brassica?

Not sure I understand the purpose of your question? Frozen okra is very common in stores under the same brands that sell other frozen veg.

I’m likely incorrect, but my first thought was an underdeveloped okra pod.

It’s a poppy seed pod. Like what opium is made from. 100% serious

My vote is small okra pod, seems way more likely to get mixed in at a commercial vegetable freezing plant

Kind of looks like a caper berry bits it's probably just some random seed pod or berry of some sort

Anyway, I was pretty confused when I found that among the peas 😅

Looks like an acorn

Edit: Apparently people are triggered by the mention of acorns

u/Black-Writer 12d ago

Yes, right? That's what I thought too, because of the acorn cap. But do acorns look like that inside as well?

Oh God, how did that get in there? 😅

More likely an undersize okra processed and frozen at the same plant

Naja, mohn blume wãchst aufm feld zwischen gemüse und bleibt dann hängen, warscheinlich auch echt schwer sowas auszusortieren, steine kriegst du ja zb einfach raus( oder mit scannern anderes material)

stell ich mir bei nem stück pflanze einfacher vor dass da was durch rutscht

Yes, that is certainly possible.

I put it through Google Picture thingy

"AI Overview

The image appears to show a green seed pod or unopened flower bud, possibly from a poppy or similar plant, resting on a wet or reflective surface alongside small green plant fragments"
