Gardening has become a popular pastime for many people, especially during the lockdown period. We have seen many people cultivating herbs, spices and even fruits and vegetables in their kitchen gardens. Cultivating your own produce has many health benefits – from medicinal properties to other nutritional benefits derived from organic farming. However, not everyone considers growing vegetables and fruits a leisurely activity; Believe it or not, for some, gardening is serious competition. Guinness World Records (GWR) recently took to Instagram to share a video of some of the world’s greatest vegetables grown by outstanding gardeners in their region. Take a look:

This is a place where size matters,” the video begins by saying. “It’s not just for the prize money they’re after, they’re here to break records and make History, And they won’t let anyone stand in their way,” said voiceover. Several renowned gardeners then appeared in the video and shared their insights about growing these moist vegetables.

Together, they have won multiple titles for the biggest vegetables, including radishes, carrots, potatoes, onions, and even beans!
