土耳其冷知识：郁金香并非源自荷兰
# 郁金香是土耳其人普及的，不是荷兰
说起郁金香，现在全世界都会想到荷兰，但其实是土耳其的前身（奥斯曼帝国）最早推广了郁金香并把它普及到欧洲。
咖啡和樱桃也是由奥斯曼帝国推广到欧洲的。
Turkey gifted tulips to the world (you’re welcome, Netherlands). It’s uncertain where the first tulips were grown, but what is known is that the Ottomans popularized the flower and facilitated their introduction to Europe. Other commodities for which Europe owes a debt of gratitude to Turkey are coffee and cherries. About one-quarter of the roses grown in the world come from Turkey.
土耳其为世界带来了郁金香（荷兰，不用谢）。目前尚不清楚郁金香最早是在哪里种植的，但我们知道，是奥斯曼人推广了这种花，并将其引入欧洲。欧洲人还应感激土耳其人帮忙引入的商品还有咖啡和樱桃。世界上大约四分之一的玫瑰来自土耳其。
