I tried simply "melon" for the fruit. I didn't realize that the two listed varieties are different enough to not allow the common name for either of them.
In all seriousness, the USDA lists Avocados as vegetables and they are nutritionally closer to vegetables. Also, if including this, why not include tomatoes?
Haha nice comment, if it weren't "borrowed" from a well-known saying about tomatoes. In the case of avocados, not so much. In fact, in Brazil they'll often take big scoops of avocado, sprinkle the stuff with lime to keep it from browning, then add sugar and serve it in a bowl with other stuff that basically makes it a milkshake of sorts. Down in South America they've basically come up with every possible way you can serve avocados. Here's a fascinating article I read on the subject:
Yes they are (and so are avocadoes), but people come up with the most convoluted and nonsensical reasons to deny it just because they aren't sweet. Logic fail.
Yes. But botanically, many of our "vegetables" and all grains are fruit, as well. There's no point in going by the botanical definition because it gets us nowhere. The culinary definition works just fine.
The drug interaction issue really is part of the reason for the downward trend in grapefruit sales! The others are, well, hurricanes, and also the decreased demand in Japan. (The Japanese have traditionally loved them some Florida grapefruit, but are losing interest because weβre not able to keep them reliably supplied.)
Kind of shocked by the list. I had assumed apples or oranges would be number one and while I know bananas are popular it's amazing a fruit that is 99% imported would be our number one fruit.
Are those not shockingly low numbers across the board? Only 73% of people have bought a banana in the last year? Less than that for apples and nearly half the population didn't buy an orange? I'm clearly out of touch as I would have guessed more people would have purchased at least 15 of 20 than the number of people who didn't even buy a banana.
Why aren't you sure where the quiz gets its numbers from? The author listed a source. If you cannot be bothered to read the information at the beginning of the quiz that somebody made for you to do for fun free of cost, then don't start complaining in the comments.
