We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Cider apple — The Long Ashton Research Station was not established until 1912; it did not exist in 1903.
Cider apple — Professor B.T.P. Barker was not the first director of Long Ashton in 1903; he became director in 1903 of the National Fruit and Cider Institute, and the classification system is not correctly attributed to 1903.
Cooking banana — The claim that Fe'i bananas are 'not descended from the same species as modern banana cultivars' is misleading because Fe'i bananas are still descended from wild Musa species, just not the same ancestral species.
Cooking banana — The statement that all cooking banana cultivars are now classified under Musa × paradisiaca is an oversimplification; many are classified under Musa acuminata or Musa balbisiana hybrids with different genome designations.
Cowpea — The claim that Nigeria and Niger together account for 66% of world output is not supported by widely-cited FAO data; as of recent decades, Nigeria alone produces roughly 60% or more, but Niger's share is much smaller, making the combined figure likely inaccura
Cowpea — The annual world production figure of 3 million tonnes (1997 estimate) is too low; FAO data for 1997 shows world cowpea production was approximately 3.5–4 million tonnes, and later estimates are higher.
Cucumber — The entry states that Spanish explorers introduced cucumbers to the Americas in 1494, but historical records indicate they were introduced by Christopher Columbus in 1493.
Cucumis melo — The claim that melons can be found as a weed around recently built airports in American Samoa is not a widely established or verifiable fact in the known botanical or historical canon; it appears to be an invented or unsubstantiated claim.
Cucumis melo — The claim that the snake melon (Armenian cucumber) is 'more popular in Arab countries' is vague and not a verified factual statement; it is an opinion or generalization that cannot be confirmed as established canon.
Cucumis metuliferus — The claim that the peel is 'very rich in vitamin C and dietary fiber' is not supported by established nutritional data; the peel is edible but not notably high in vitamin C or fiber compared to the flesh or other common sources.
Cucumis metuliferus — The claim that the fruit is resistant to 'watermelon mosaic virus' is inaccurate; Cucumis metuliferus is known to be resistant to certain strains of watermelon mosaic virus (WMV), but not universally to all strains, and the statement lacks necessary qualificat
Cucurbita — The current world record pumpkin weighed 1,054 kg (2,323.7 lb), grown by Beni Meier of Switzerland in 2014 is incorrect; the world record as of widely-known canon is 1,226 kg (2,702 lb), grown by Stefano Cutrupi of Italy in 2021.
Daikon — The entry states that daikon 'grows quickly above ground and produces a long, white, turnip-shaped root.' This is misleading: daikon is a root vegetable that grows underground, not above ground.
Daikon — The entry claims 'In North America, it is primarily grown as a fallow crop to prevent soil compaction, with the leaves used as animal fodder; the USDA refers to it as oilseed radish in non-culinary contexts.' While daikon is used as a cover crop, the USDA does
