Pineapple- It can take a Pineapple nearly 3 years to fully ripen.  To make it even stranger Pineapples will no longer ripen once they have been picked unlike most other fruit.


Banana- The bananas that are most commonly eaten today are different than the bananas our parents and grandparents ate because the mass banana devastation from the Panama Disease.  That being said, about 95% of the bananas we eat are the same kind called the Cavendish which are essentially clones. This eliminates many of the seeds and makes the bananas taste better.


Mango- Mangos are the most eaten fruit around the world!  They are extremely common in India are thought of as a gracious present.  When mangos are presented at weddings they are thought to bring the marrying couple bear many children.

The Japanese will also use pomegranate trees as bonsai plants because of their twisted bark.


Raspberry- A single raspberry typically consists of approximately 100 smaller fruit called druplets.  Each druplet contains a seed so next time you think you are eating a single raspberry remember how many smaller fruit go into just a single berry!  Raspberries also have more vitamin C than oranges, so grab a box of raspberries next time you are looking for a great source of vitamin C.
