Scary! Fruits Disguised as Veggies VVCT TM October 2019

This challenge is for ACTIVE teams with less than 500 members. This match is set to start on October 31st 2019. Good luck and good games to both teams and all players! “If you met an eggplant at a Halloween party, you might say, “Hey, awesome veggie costume!” But the eggplant would have to reply, “Actually, I’m a fruit.” So would the cucumber, the olive, and the pepper. All fruits. Talk about great costumes! Scientifically speaking, many of the foods we refer to as vegetables are actually fruits. If we look at the matter from a botanical viewpoint it is really rather obvious. A fruit is a seed-bearing structure that develops from the ovary of a flowering plant. Pumpkins, squash, avocados, zucchini, and tomatoes are all botanically fruits. On the other hand, vegetables are all the other plant parts that we like to eat, like seeds, roots, leaves, and stems. Celery (stems), lettuce and spinach (leaves), cauliflower and broccoli (flowers), peas, beans, and corn (seeds), and beets, carrots and potatoes (roots) are all examples of vegetables. So, to make any costume–party unmasking easy, if it’s from a plant and has seeds, it’s a fruit; if it doesn’t, it’s a vegetable.” Cited October 2019 @ www.veggieu.org/buzz/154-fruits-disguised-as-veggies-scary
