Fruits and Vegetables

Defined as the developed ovary of a seed plant with its contents and accessory parts, fruits are a wide variety of deliciously edible foods that include berries, grapes, watermelon and tomato, among many others. A vegetable is any edible stem, root, or leaf of a plant. While most vegetables are cooked in order to be edible, there are some that can be eaten raw. There are also fruits which are considered vegetables. In botanical terms, all vegetables that have seed are called fruits, and there is no distinction for vegetables. Vegetable is the culinary term for fruits that are not sweet, but instead savory.

Beanpole and Henry may not immediately realize that Will is sick in the White Mountains because they could attribute his symptoms to tiredness or the challenging conditions of their journey. Additionally, they may not be alert to the early signs of illness since they are focused on survival in a challenging environment. It may only become evident to them that Will is sick when his condition worsens or when they take a moment to closely observe his behavior and symptoms.

How much does 1 poemgranate cost?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

[79p depending on where you by it from.] Where the pomegranate is from - point-of-purchase wise, is much less important than the inherit value of this rare fruit worldwide. The pomegranate is a tiny crop compared to apples and oranges. It is truly a culinary specialty food that is "in season" for a scant 1-2 months per year usually at autumnal harvest time (which can vary from Western to Eastern hemisphere. Now, in the U.S. we will consider cost. A medium large pome of 6-8 oz can cost a median three dollars and range up a little from there in large metro areas (like NYC). A local produce/farmers market may sell the same medium large pome for two bucks...because, pomegranates have a very short shelf life of 3-4 days and they don't want to take it home...so go by the stand close to closing time. In recent times high end restaurants are reprising ages old pomegranate sauces...and they charge for this haute cuisine. This is driving up demand and recognition with the general populace. Pomegranates have never gone out of style with Mid-easterners, Italians, Greeks, and folks from Alabama; all of whom have one to several pomegranate shrubs in their backyard.

Why do fruits ripen more quickly in cabinets than in the refrigerator?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Fruits ripen more quickly in cabinets due to the presence of ethylene gas, a natural plant hormone that triggers ripening. Refrigerators slow down this ripening process by reducing ethylene production and inhibiting ripening enzymes. The cold temperatures in the refrigerator also slow down the metabolic processes that lead to ripening.

Wrapping the fruits in a newspapers cause them to ripen quickly has a scientific basis?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Fruits release ethylene gas as they ripen, which can be trapped when wrapped in newspaper. This gas concentration speeds up the ripening process due to the enclosed environment promoting ethylene build-up. This accelerates the fruit ripening compared to leaving it exposed.
