17 Fruits and Vegetables That Appear to Have Come to Life

It’s important to eat our fruits and vegetables, and sometimes to make these healthy foods appealing to our kids, we cut them and arrange them in Pinterest-inspired ways. Sometimes this isn’t necessary.

Nature can surprise us, and sometimes it surprises us by making something like a strawberry or a pumpkin look like something completely different, like a butterfly or a dragon. Yes, really. 

Have you ever seen a fruit or vegetable that resembled an animal, object or even a person? You’re about to. We’re very glad that the people who saw these amazing fruits and vegetables thought to snap a picture before eating it. Otherwise, it would be hard to believe that such a thing could be possible.
