Is chocolate really being grown in a lab? Is Dr. Sebi's nutritional philosophy supported by science? Are pesticides, GMOs, and "electric foods" being misunderstood online? In this episode of The Dirt on Gardening Podcast, Andre the Farmer, Urban Gardening with Gray, and The Chocolate Botanist dive headfirst into some of the biggest myths and conspiracy theories circulating in the gardening and plant world. From lab-grown foods and GMO misconceptions to black seed oil, sea moss, decoctions, and the claims often made in alternative health spaces, the conversation separates evidence from internet folklore. Along the way, the hosts discuss how misinformation spreads, why scientific literacy matters, and how gardeners can evaluate extraordinary claims with a critical eye. Whether you're curious about food science, plant biology, or simply enjoy hearing common gardening myths challenged with humor and facts, this episode has something for you.
