Fruit and vegetables have changed a lot since humans have domesticated them over the past few thousand years. They’ve undergone a transformation from selective breeding that has tailored them to suit our picky tastes and conveniences.

This video from Business Insider gives you a small sample of the make-overs much of our fruit and vegetables have undergone.
