Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Jonathan, Red Delicious and Catshead are all varieties of which popular fruit?

Answer: Apples

Jonathan apples are a dark red color with green patches. They are a very juicy apple whose tart flavor makes them an excellent choice for pies and cobblers. Red Delicious apples originated in South America are a popular choice for eating right off the tree.

They are tall and deep red and their tendency to be firm makes them a great choice for fruit salads. Catshead apples have a very sharp flavor that is suited to cooking rather than for eating raw. They have a beautiful bright green color and are one of the older varieties of apples.
2. Which type of fruits come in varieties known as clingstone or freestone?

Answer: Peaches

Peach varieties are separated into freestone and clingstone, which simply describes how hard the flesh clings to the large stony seed in the middle of the peach. In freestone peaches the pit comes out easily; they are sweet with slightly acidic overtones. In clingstone peaches the pit must often be cut out. They are usually larger and juicier but not quite as sweet as freestone peaches.
3. Early American colonists boiled which of the following fruits in milk to make gray paint?

Answer: Blueberries

Blueberries are are one the most popular berries in North America. Native Americans used them for blue dyes and early colonists would boil down cows' and goats' milk with blueberries to make a conservative gray paint. The Shakers would boil milk, blueberries, indigo, and sage blossoms to make a modest blue paint that they would use on their sedate furniture designs.

The blueberry is believed to help prevent heart disease and to contain antiviral compounds.
4. Where did the fuzzy-skinned kiwifruit originate?

Answer: China

Despite its name, the kiwifruit originated in China not in New Zealand. Usually about the size of a chicken's egg, the fuzzy brown skin covers a vibrant green fruit loaded with hundreds of tiny black seeds. Southern areas of China have been cultivating this fruit for centuries but it was not until the 20th century that its popularity spread around the world and it began to be cultivated in New Zealand and Australia.

Other names for this fruit include the Chinese gooseberry, Zespri, and melonette.
5. What is the proper term for ten or more bananas that grow together as a bunch?

Answer: Hand

A 'hand of bananas' is a group of bananas that grow together in a bunch. Each banana is considered to be a finger. Bananas are one of the most popular fruits in the world and can be obtained year around. They are high in vitamin C, fiber and potassium. Bananas can be eaten raw, or used in breads, pies, and a variety of desserts.
6. What do you call a dried plum?

Answer: Prune

Prunes are simply dried plums, just like raisins are dried grapes. Some type of plums make better prunes than do others. Because many consumers associate the prune with relief of constipation, many producers have taken to labeling their fruit as dried plums instead. Prunes are a natural laxative but are also high in fiber and antioxidants. Prunes have been eaten in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East for centuries.
7. What color is the skin of a ripe mangosteen?

Answer: Reddish-purple

A mangosteen is a pretty reddish-purple when ripe and ready to be eaten. Despite the name, the mangosteen and the mango are not related. The mangosteen is believed to have originated in the islands of Indonesia and is still cultivated there today. It also grows in South America where the consistently warm conditions in some areas are perfect for cultivation.

The mangosteen is much smaller than a mango and is about the size of a large cherry. It is high in vitamin E, vitamin C, potassium and calcium.
8. Drinking fruit juice is the same as eating whole fruit.

Answer: False

Drinking a glass of 100% juice does count towards the five servings of fruits and vegetables needed in a healthy diet. But it is NOT the same as eating whole fresh fruit. Many store bought juices have added sugar, sodium and preservatives. Fresh fruit has much more fiber which aids the digestive process.
9. Archimedes might be able to tell you that which of the following is one of the most popular types of lemons?

Answer: Eureka

The three most popular types of lemons are the Lisbon, the Meyer, and the Eureka. The Eureka and Lisbon are very similar in color, size and tartness. The Meyer was created in 1908 and is a cross between a tangerine and a lemon. This makes them less tart, with a thinner skin, and juicier. Lemons, like most citrus fruits, are high in vitamin C and low in calories.
10. Pineapple are one of the slowest growing fruits.

Answer: True

Pineapples grow slowly compared to most fruits. They can take as long as two years to reach full size. They are usually harvested for financial reasons when they are smaller. If left alone a pineapple can grow as large as 20 lbs (9kg). The pineapple got its name from its resemblance to the pine cone.

This fruit is high in manganese and vitamin C and pineapple juice is an excellent meat tenderiser.
