What we talk about eating school

1. Korean asparagus.
Not even close to the plant, and frozen foam, taken with soy milk. This product is actually called "Fuzhi", and in English-speaking countries often use the Japanese word "Yuba» (yuba). Why in Russia and Kazakhstan, it is called "asparagus" - a mystery.





2. Watermelon
Not so long ago it was fashionable to show off the knowledge that many striped favorite delicacy - berry, despite its huge size. But now these data are outdated, the fruit of watermelon on modern concepts related to melon, berries from different lots of seed and pericarp structure. In this sense, watermelon - the closest relative of the cucumber and zucchini.



3. Tomatoes
So far there is no consensus to what the tomatoes - a vegetable or fruit. From the point of view of botany, tomatoes - mnogognёzdnye parakarpnye berries, so it seems, is closer still to the fruit. So consider, for example, the European Union made an official statement on the matter. The United States and Russia believe tomatoes vegetables. Why do it? For example, customs fees for fruits and vegetables differ, so perforce countries have to be determined.



4. Strawberry
What we used to call the berries - simply proliferating fleshy receptacle. A real strawberry fruit - nuts, the very characteristic dark "seeds" on a red background.



5. Coconut
For the coconut often take only a part of it, a solid and "hairy" seed. In nature, around the "seeds" densely interwoven fibers, because in terms of botany coconut - drupe. Yes, and coconut milk in a no, it's plain water, in which a solution of sugar and other nutrients, and it is cloudy because of a few drops of coconut oil has got inside.



6. Peanut
Generally no relation to the nuts does not. This legume, and its fruit - the real bob, inside which are the edible seeds. Interestingly, only the fruiting underground parts of plants.

The extremely popular "peanut butter" - actually spread, pasta cooked from roasted beans. A real butter in a biological sense, obtained by prying of the same material.



7 Banana
Perennial herb, not the palm. Banana, the one from which we remove peel before eating - berry. Just has a very thick skin. And it can be very different - and the short and long, and triangular and oval, it all depends on the specific variety.

At present the fruits of the wild banana inside - quite large seeds at deducing cultural forms rid of them, so that agricultural plants reproduce vegetatively options.



8. Pineapple
Like a banana - is the grass, only ground. Again, pineapple trees do not exist. And familiar to us pineapple - is fused together many smaller fruits called biologists seedheads. Pineapple grows "tufted" upwards, although heard misconception that these leaves it attached to the plant.



9. Vobla
Outside the Volga so often called any stockfish. And very surprised to learn that the roach, before he became a starter, swam in the river to spawn, wore a beautiful Latin name Rutilus caspicus and belonged to the carp family, genus roaches.



Do you know what it looks like the fruit of the potato? Take your time, a trick question. In fact, all the usual potatoes that are boiled or fried - a club, but the fruit - a small green poisonous berries. And these marvels among a lot of products.
