turnip – not a fruit, but an incrassate taproot (root vegetable)
Mexican potato/jicama – not a fruit, but a tuberous root
eggplant – aka aubergine, a berry
winged beans – legume (from a pod)
string beans – a pod
edible pots – did you mean pods?
lima beans – a legume
white melon – a false berry
loofah – false berry
gourd – false berry
white pumpkin – false berry
squash – false berry
radish – not a fruit, but an incrassate taproot (root vegetable)
mustard – cultivated for its edible seeds and leaves
onion – not a fruit, but a bulb
tomato – a berry
garlic – not a fruit, but a bulb
ginger – not a fruit, but a rhizome
sesame – edible seeds
I am not a botanist but the first two questions are tuberous roots. An eggplant is the first fruit listed because it grows from a flower as well of most of the others. If it comes from a flower then it is a fruit.
ok i looked over that first answer and i KNOW FOR A FACT the person is wrong. gourds and pumpkins as false berries… omg
i need to find a paper to help with the right answers but dont use that guys
ok…
beans – legumes… always
