1. I was introduced to the Americas by Columbus. I am 95 percent water with little nutritional value. My insides can be up to 20 degrees cooler than my outside, which is also cool, because I'm cool as a ______?

Answer: Cucumber

Cucumbers, the paragon of coolness and a favorite salad vegetable, are one of the oldest cultivated vegetables, having been around since about 8000 BC. They were said to be a favorite of US Civil War General and President Ulysses Grant and Roman Emperor Tiberius.
2. I am a green plant that has been cultivated for over 2,000 years. I am thought to be the ancestor to all of today's cabbage varieties. What am I?

3. The historian Pliny insulted me by saying that I have "remarkable power of causing flatulence and eructation". Americans eat more than 400 million pounds of me every year, mostly in salads, but in Japan I'm a popular breakfast food. What am I?

Answer: radish

The Daikon radish can grow up to 3 feet long and weigh up to 100 pounds! Radishes are popular in Oaxaca, Mexico, on Christmas Eve, which is also known as the Night of the Radishes; Mexicans carve large ones into animals shapes, much like people carve pumpkins into faces on Halloween. By the way, "eructation" is belching.

Answer: broccoli

This quote about the wonderful green vegetable, by US President George H. W. Bush, has gone down in history:
"I do not like broccoli. And I haven't liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I'm President of the United States and I'm not going to eat any more broccoli."
George Bush, U.S. President (1990)

7. Although I'm a member of the onion family from the Mediterranean, I am the national emblem of Wales. What am I?

Answer: leek
