Pumpkins and other squash contain seeds, so they are botanically considered a fruit. Broccoli and cauliflower are both immature flowers of the plant. Cauliflower is very underdeveloped, which is why it’s so tightly bound up compared to broccoli. Artichokes are also flowers that have yet to bloom. The choke of the artichoke — the prickly, fuzzy stuff above the artichoke’s heart that you regret eating almost immediately — ultimately becomes the gorgeous purple flower of the artichoke plant.

The cantaloupe is a juicy, orange summer fruit related to watermelon and honeydew melon. The semi-sweet cantaloupes most familiar to people in the U.S. are a type of muskmelon called Cucumis melo reticulatus. The scientific name stems in part from the word “reticulated,” describing the cantaloupe’s rough, webbed outer skin. People have grown cantaloupes for thousands of years. Most experts agree it likely first grew in Persia (modern Iran).

Broccoli is often nicknamed “little trees” thanks to its light green stalk and tightly clustered, dark green flowering head. It grows surrounded by grey-green leaves that are also edible, but are often removed before being sold commercially. The word broccoli means “little arms” or “little shoots” in Italian, and it’s believed that the vegetable originated there. This affordable veggie requires little prep beyond washing and trimming and can be sliced, chopped, or left whole. The treelike stalks are part of the cabbage family and are grown and eaten all over the world. About 75% of the world’s production of broccoli comes from China and India. The plant thrives in cool weather, making it a winter and spring vegetable, but it’s grown year-round in places like California. It can be eaten raw, steamed, sautéed, stir-fried, roasted, grilled, fried, or pureed.

"An apple a day keeps the doctor away" is a common English-language proverb that appeared in the 19th century, advocating for the consumption of apples, and by extension, "if one eats healthful foods, one will remain in good health and will not need to see the doctor often." A variant of the proverb, "Eat an apple on going to bed, and you'll keep the doctor from earning his bread" was recorded as a Pembrokeshire saying in 1866. The modern phrasing, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away", began usage at the end of the 19th century, with early print examples found as early as 1887.

Onions are one of the most versatile root vegetables around. Onions grow in the ground and are made up of various layers, which are important to identify when cooking. At the center, onions have a fan of green leaves. Out of this fan, a series of bulb scales starts to grow as the plant matures. These scales are commonly known as the layers. The onion has a protective thin outer covering known as the tunic or skin. The tunic covers the fleshy layers, which are the ones commonly used for cooking.

The science is pretty sound that carrots, by virtue of their heavy dose of Vitamin A (in the form of beta carotene), are good for your eye health. A 1998 Johns Hopkins study, as reported by the New York Times, even found that supplemental pills could reverse poor vision among those with a Vitamin A deficiency. But as John Stolarczyk knows all too well as curator of the World Carrot Museum, the truth has been stretched into a pervasive myth that carrots hold a super-vegetable power: improving your night-time vision.

A prune is a dried plum, most commonly from the European plum (Prunus domestica) tree. Not all plum species or varieties can be dried into prunes. Most prunes are freestone cultivars (the pit is easy to remove), whereas most plums grown for fresh consumption are clingstone (the pit is more difficult to remove). Prunes are 64% carbohydrates, including dietary fiber, 2% protein, a rich source of vitamin K, and a moderate source of B vitamins and dietary minerals. The sorbitol content of dietary fiber likely provides the laxative effect associated with consuming prunes.

Despite its name, the strawberry isn't a true berry. Neither is the raspberry or the blackberry. But the banana is a berry, scientifically speaking, as are eggplants, grapes, and oranges. The discrepancy in berry nomenclature arose because people called certain fruits "berries" thousands of years before scientists came up with a precise definition for the word.

The tomatoes you’ll find year-round in the grocery store are hybrids, which means that humans have cultivated and bred them for specific characteristics. Beefsteaks tomato, which can be either heirloom or hybrid, is notable for its size: it can weigh in at over a pound each, with a diameter of six or more inches. Also known as Roma or paste tomatoes, plum tomatoes are oval-shaped and smaller than beefsteaks. And let's not forget the baby tomatoes: the cherries, grapes, and cocktails. Cherry tomatoes are small, round guys with thin skins that squirt juice everywhere when you bite into them.

The heaviest pumpkin of all was weighed to be 2,702 lb, grown by Stefano Cutrupi (Italy) in 2021. That’s heavier than a Nissan Micra car and almost double the weight of the heaviest man ever. Whilst other record-breaking fruits have weighed between 10 to 20 times more than their average-sized versions, Stefano’s pumpkin weighed over 100 times more than an ordinary one. The plump pumpkin had a width of 11 ft 8 in and a circumference of 17 ft 9 in, which is the largest size ever recorded in competition. The record for the world’s heaviest pumpkin has been hotly contested and changed hands many times over the past few decades. The record weight continues to climb, indicating that there are still improvements to be made in giant pumpkin growing. David Hu, a mechanical engineer at the Georgia Institute of Technology, calculated that a geometrically perfect pumpkin could potentially reach up to 20,000 lb.

Heart of palm is a vegetable harvested from the inner core and growing bud of certain palm trees, most notably the coconut, juçara, açaí palm, palmetto, and peach palm. Harvesting of many uncultivated or wild single-stemmed palms results in palm tree death. However, other palm species are clonal or multi-stemmed plants, and moderate harvesting will not kill the entire clonal palm. Heart of palm may be eaten on its own, and often it is eaten in a salad.
