Blackheads, or open comedos , are clogged pores that are filled with dead skin cells and oil, often referred to as sebum.

Say goodbye to your favorite green superfood. In a new Instagram compilation video, Dr. Pimple Popper aka, dermatologist and TLC host Dr. Sandra Lee, MD removes four sticky blackheads from several different patients. One particular blackhead may just be the longest blackhead youve ever seen and fans are comparing it to an alfalfa sprout.

Dr. Lee uses a comedone extractor to remove most of the blackheads in the video. The surgical tool pops out the trapped gunk with a firm press to the skin, causing minimal damage to the tissue. The alfalfa sprout blackhead is one of the pops released with the comedone extractor, twirling out in a long white string from a patients nose. Its truly something to see and will make you avoid a certain superfood forever.

Alfalfa sprout much? one fan commented on the video, to which Dr. Lee responded, Very accurate! Another added, That bean sprout, which was followed up by three hearts. What a time we live in.

Blackheads, or open comedos , are actually clogged pores that are filled with dead skin cells and oil, not dirt or grime as myth may suggest. The blackish portion of a blackhead is due to the oxidation of the dead skin cells and oil when exposed to air. The white substance seen in the sprout extraction is actually made of the same mixture of dead skin and oil as the black-hued portion of the blackhead, though these contents are unoxidized.
