According to folklore, what vegetable wards off vampires?

• Cauliflower
• Onion
• Garlic
• Celery

A persistent belief is the power of garlic is to ward off vampires. Probably the most popular theory of the origin of the vampire is the disease porphyria, a term for several diseases which are all caused by irregularities in the production of heme, a chemical in the blood. Some forms of this disease cause sufferers to be sensitive to light and leads to disfigurement of the skin, including erosion of the lips and gums. These factors could have led to the corpse-like, fanged appearance that we associate with vampires and their dislike of sunlight. Interestingly, people who suffer from porphyria also have an intolerance to foods that have a high sulfur content… such as garlic.

Which of these fruits appears to carry its seeds on the outside?

• Mango
• Strawberry
• Orange
• Kiwi

The strawberry is an example of a false fruit. The fleshy part of the bit we eat is solely made from receptacle tissue so it is a false fruit. The "seeds" on the surface are actually the fruit and consist of a dry carpel wall each containing a single seed with its own coat. This type of simple 1 seeded dry fruit is called an achene. Similarly, many other familiar "fruits" are botanically not straightforward: Apple: the core is the carpels, the bit we eat is a receptacle. Pineapple: This is a composite fruit formed from many flowers. Contrarily, tomatoes, hazelnuts, and coriander seeds are botanically simple fruits.
