Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which fruit is ripe when it's red, with a cap of green, and it's often said to go well with cream?

Answer: strawberry

Growing on small runner-plants, strawberries have their seeds on the outside of their skins. Their green 'caps' are what holds the berries to their stems.
Strawberries are good with cream, but also in strawberry shortcake, strawberry ice cream, and strawberry pie.

2. Sometimes part of your morning meal, if you don't slip on the peel, which fruit when ripe turns yellow, a color often called mellow?

Answer: banana

Unripened bananas are green. Bananas are best eaten when the skin has turned yellow and is speckled with small brown spots. While they were first grown in southeast Asia, today bananas are grown in many tropical areas.

3. Which yellow fruit might you bake, in the bottom of a pan, which ends on top of a cake, which you eat if you can?

Answer: pineapple

Pineapple can be bought fresh, dried or canned. Delicious by itself, it is sometimes used sliced with baked ham, chopped and added to fruit salads, and simply juiced. It is also a tasty topping for pineapple upside down cake.

4. Which fruit is often red, often green or yellow instead, and sometimes it's said, to keep the doctor away if you eat one every day?

Answer: apple

Apples are the most popular fruit in the USA, but they are native to Europe. When the European settlers arrived in the U.S., they brought over apple trees, and colonies of honeybees to pollinate the blossoms.

5. Which yellow fruit is sour, and has the power, like a sour-Gummie sucker, to make you pucker?

Answer: lemon

Lemons are native to Asia, and grow on a small evergreen tree. Nowadays, they grow in many warm climates, and are used for various cooking and baking recipes. Lemon juice, zest and peel are used to make curds, pies and cookies, and used in many fish and meat recipes. Perhaps the most popular use for lemons is to juice the fruit, add sugar and ice, and serve it as lemonade.

6. Growing in a bunch, often eaten with lunch, either seeded or seedless, which fruit is this?

Answer: grape

There are many varieties of grapes, some of which are seedless. Grapes grow in bunches, usually on vines which are trained to grow along supports made out of wood. Grapes can be eaten by themselves, dried into raisins, made into jelly or 'pressed' into a juice.

7. Loaded with vitamin C, and grown on a tree, which fruit is grown where it's hot, and part of a juice often bought?

Answer: orange

Oranges are originally from southeast Asia. In the USA, Florida is the #1 state for growing oranges. There are several different species of oranges, but the most popular is the navel orange. Oranges are tasty as a treat peeled and separated into sections, and are a traditional part of many breakfasts, either juiced or sectioned.

8. Grown on a small tree, bright and red as can be, which fruit is either sour or sweet, and makes a pie that's truly a treat?

Answer: cherry

Cherry trees bloom in the spring, and have small white or pink flowers. Either sour or sweet, cherries are a 'stone' fruit, which means they have a small stone (seed) in the middle. Cherries can be bought fresh, canned, dried or frozen.

9. Which fruit could you eat, which reminds you of shoes, with a name so neat, it's actually one, not twos?

Answer: pear

Pears can be bought fresh, dried or canned. While most pears have skins that are green, there are also varieties that are red or yellow. Pears tend to have a soft grainy texture, and a sweet juicy taste.

10. In a muffin or pie, which fruit might you try, which is purple and sweet, and just a really wee treat?

Answer: blueberry

Blooming white in the spring, blueberries grow on either high bushes or low bushes. The wild blueberry is the state fruit of Maine. Blueberries are often used for muffins, pies or quick breads.
