Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What vegetable is usually green and used to make pickles (gherkins)?

Answer: cucumber

This year I grew a variety called Straight 8. Cucumbers are part of the gourd family of veggies. They are believed to be a native of India.

2. What is yellow and grows on a stalk?

Answer: corn

Corn (sweetcorn) can be used for all sorts of things such as burning for heat, animal feed and eaten straight off the stalk. You may see corn in a number of packages at the store such as canned, creamed or fresh ears.

3. What vegetable is normally red or white and can make you cry when you cut them up?

Answer: onion

The onion was introduced to North America by Christopher Columbus. Any onion can be used in cooking, although red onions look better in salads. According to Wikipedia, in 2005, China was the largest producer of onions in the world.

4. Which fruit (although it is usually referred to as a vegetable) is orange and can be used to make pies and Halloween decorations?

Answer: pumpkin

Pumpkins are the state fruit of New Hampshire. Antarctica is the only continent that is unable to produce pumpkins. Pumpkins are also used to carve out for jack o' lanterns.

5. What is red, grows on a vine and is sometimes used for spaghetti sauce?

Answer: tomato

Some different varieties of tomatoes are plum, beefsteak and cherry. Tomatoes are actually considered a fruit. The heaviest tomato ever grown weighed one pound!

6. Which vegetable is mostly white, has a strong smell and is used in the movies to keep vampires away?

Answer: garlic

Garlic is in the onion family and is related to the shallot, leek and chive. The flower that grows on a garlic stem can also be eaten.

7. What fruit grows on a vine, has black seeds inside and is sometimes green with white stripes on the outside?

Answer: watermelon

In Japan, some watermelons are grown in glass boxes to make them take on a square shape. Some of the varieties of watermelons are seedless, Angelo and Carolina Cross. Watermelon takes a very long time to grow, so it is normally started indoors where the air is warm.

8. Which vegetable is green, grows in a pod and sometimes has a princess associated with its name?

Answer: pea

Peas are an annual plant, meaning they must be replanted every year. The variety we grew was sugar peas that can be eaten right off the vine, in the pod or steamed as well.

9. What vegetable is green, leafy and is often used in salads?

Answer: lettuce

Lettuce can be used in many different ways, such as in salads or on sandwiches. It also comes in many different varieties like romaine, iceberg and summer crisp.

10. What is orange, grows in the ground and rabbits like to eat it?

Answer: carrots

During the winter, carrots can be kept in the ground if the tops are cut off and they are covered up, this way they can be pulled out later and used. Eating an excessive amount of carrots can result in a person's skin turning a shade of orange: this is called hypercarotenemia.
