Joe Rogan Experience #2535 - Andrew Wilson · Aired Aug 5, 2026
Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Most of the produce in the United States comes out of California.
The finding
What the evidence shows
California does dominate some categories, growing over three quarters of the country's fruits and nuts, but it produces closer to half the country's vegetables. That makes most of the produce in the U.S. an overstatement rather than something accurate across the board.
