Many gardeners compete with each other in the right to grow the largest vegetable or fruit in their beds. Sometimes real garden mutants are obtained, surprising with their appearance. At specialized exhibitions, such specimens amaze the imagination of the audience. It is interesting to know when and by whom the world's largest potato was grown?
Seeing a potato weighing more than 200 grams, we will surely consider it gigantic. Nevertheless, the organizers of "garden" events only consider fruits weighing more than 750 grams to be large. And what about specimens weighing 1.5 kilograms? But this is not the limit.
Saudi Arabian farmer Khalil Semhat grew a huge potato in 2008, ahead of all gardeners in Europe. She weighed 11 kilograms 200 grams. Of course, after that, the peasant and his fruit were listed in the Guinness Book of Records. The size of a potato was the girth of three human heads. It was a sweet potato.
The record holder from Arabia bypassed the English achievement of 1975, becoming three kilograms heavier. Khalil did not expect to receive such a huge fruit and was quite surprised when he dug it up on his plot. Such a large potato is even scary to eat. Everyone who saw her wondered what the secret of this giant was and how it was possible to grow such a huge potato. The photo shows this "monster".
