Nothing is grown in Antarctica: it's too cold, 98% of the continent is covered with an ice sheet and there are months when there is no sunrise.

However, on some research stations, hydroponic produce is grown, which (according to the Antarctic Treaty) must be consumed on the continent. Crops include lettuce, tomatoes, green onions, and edible flowers.
