Well, look...this quiz can't be all that hard, right? I mean, even if there are plenty of people here who don't eat much in the way of fruits and veggies, I'm sure that pretty well everyone here can at least name them. That makes sense right? I'm sure that's the case. There is just no way that people have gone along this long in life with all of the wonders of technology at their disposal and not at least know every single one of the selected fruits and veggies in this quiz.
I'm sure there are some people here who even have allergies to some of the fruits and veggies on this list. But hey, if nothing else, that is just more of a reason for people to know those specific fruits and veggies. So, there is pretty well no real excuse for people here to get any of these wrong. That is why the title of this quiz just so happens to be 'Everyone Better Name 100% Of These Fruits And Vegetables.
I mean, it just cannot be all that difficult. Even if many quiz-takers here are just sitting in their parents' basement, munching on Cheetos and pounding back Pepsi or Coke by the gallon, waiting for the next 'Marry Or Date' quiz that we put out, they should still be able to remember back to those early grades when nutrition was talked about and they learned about the following fruits and vegetables!
Name this fruit or veggie!
This is one of those interesting veggies out there that has a very different name in other places around the world. In North America and in other Commonwealth places like Australia, this veggie is known by what I'm going to guess everyone here knows it as. However, pretty well all through Europe, this veggie is known by something completely different. I actually don't even think there is any connection between the two words at all and it really does make me wonder why it is that this has happened. However, I'm only going to ask for the common name to the Americas, don't worry.

This is a pretty common summertime fruit. It is certainly enjoyed during the summer because of how hydrating it is. That is definitely the greatest thing about this fruit. It's kind of a pain to get into. There are all sorts of seeds. The taste is not exactly super powerful by any stretch of the imagination. However, in spite of all of that, there is something about this fruit that makes it perfect for a beach or pool party. Or even for a nice beverage or two. Ever try to grow on of these at home though? It's a huge pain.

This particular veggie is what one might call a root veggie. What does that mean? Well, it means that one does not see it grow above the ground. It sprouts and shoot downward. It might start to force its top out of the ground a bit once it is about time to pick it, but otherwise, this grows all the way below the ground. It is a tasty treat for sure. Not everyone likes their root veggies but that is hardly the point here. Anyone who doesn't like this veggie will obviously know what it is called then. I find that this can be turned into some delicious crisps.
Name this fruit or veggie!
Is it a veggie? Is it a fruit? This has somehow amazed people for decades and decades. As it happens, this is a fruit. End of story, pretty well. This is a juicy fruit, it just doesn't give that tart taste like some might expect from what they consider to be fruit. However, in spite of that, this can still be turned into juice. Or it can be used for sauce. Or, depending on the type of this fruit, it can even be fried up in a pan or put on a toasted sandwich. There are so many ways to enjoy this!
Name this fruit or veggie!
This is a classic veggie that has really come into its own in the culinary world of the hipster revolution. I mean, this veggie was always turned into fries or mash or chips or many other dishes but it took the hipster movement to really push this veggie into high gear. I don't know what the reasoning for this is, but that's the way it seems to be. Either way, this seems to be a particular favorite around Thanksgiving time. It seems to be used in some strange dishes...one of which includes a layer of marshmallows which I will never understand.
Name this fruit or veggie!
This is one of the tastiest fruits in this whole list...at least that is in my humble opinion. But either way, there is something special about this delicious little thing. I mean, it goes from jam to jelly, and from vitamin water to wine. Pies. Tarts. Fruit leather. The list could go on and on. It has even found its way into salads with salmon...which I have to admit seems pretty strange to me but that does not mean that it will not taste good at all. I would not know though, that's for sure. So...what is this fruit then?
Name this fruit or veggie!
This is one of my favorite veggies in the whole list. Why? Someone might reasonably ask. Well, I think it has to do with its nutritional value as well as its ability to go into so many different foods. I mean, this particular veggie can be the base of a salad. It can sit within a sandwich. It can be added to the end of a stirfry. It can be stuffed in pastry.It can be wrapped around tomato and cheese. There are just so many ways in which to eat this delicious veggie. Even smoothies are a good place to find this.

This is perhaps the one fruit that holds the most in way of childhood memory to me. It grows all over the place around where I was born and raised. It grows wild in the woods behind my parents' place as well as directly in their garden. I used to pick this tart fruit and chomp on it right then and there. Or I'd take it in to where the sugar bowl was and dip and munch and dip and munch. Great times. Another great use of this fruit is used in tarts and pies and even drinks right next to a smaller and sweeter fruit.
Name this fruit or veggie!
This is a very tasty fruit indeed. It comes in the form of juice, tarts, pies, jams, jellies, ice cream, cookies, and all manner of faux-flavored goodies. This might be one of the best fruits on this list. Maybe not my favorite but I definitely enjoy the taste and I love going out into the wilderness to pick them. Sure, there might be some thorny areas one will have to avoid in order to get the juicy fruit but it is so incredibly worth it. At least in my mind anyway. One would really have to not be looking to get hit by one of the thorns.
Name this fruit or veggie!
I used to eat these things like it was no man's business when I was a kid. I have no idea why. Once I hit high school, my parents hardly had them around so I guess there was a phase in the 90s that really made this veggie out to be something special. I don't really eat them much anymore but I do love the heat they give when biting into them. It is something else. I think that is why most people avoid them but I think that is probably the very reason why it is that I like them.
Name this fruit or veggie!
Well, this is a pretty seasonal veggie if ever I saw one. This would be classified more directly as a squash of some sort. At least more directly related to that family. It typically appears toward the fall and is used in all manner of decorating when it comes to Halloween time. Some people ever wear these things on their head...which is strange. And then around Halloween, a lot of these poor things get smushed up on the road and squashed by cars. Those that don't often end up sitting on the front steps of homes until the start rotting away.
Name this fruit or veggie!
This might be one of the most common veggies out there. It is one of those underground veggies, for sure, and it might be one of the least nutritious of them all but it is probably used in more things than any other one on this list. I mean, it can be turned into homefries, chips, mash...it can be roasted, grilled, fried...there is almost no end to the possibilities of this sort of veggie. There is something very special and very unhealthy when it comes to the way we typically seem to enjoy this veggie, but no one really seems to mind.
Name this fruit or veggie!
Mmm, this is one of the most delicious fruits on this list. Thanks to the acid in it, though, I can only eat so much before I Actually start to feel it working its way through my body in a way that it really shouldn't. However, I would never ask this fruit to be done away with. Those fruit platters that can be bought at the grocery store? Everyone knows what I mean. This is the one fruit, alongside strawberries, that I will chomp down on, leaving the melon and whatever else comes in the platter for whoever else is picking away.
Name this fruit or veggie!
One of the smallest of the fruits and veggies on this list, and certainly the smallest veggie here, these little morsels come in the shape of a crescent pod. Upon opening the pod, there are these tiny, yet delicious and nutritious little veggies that often come in a frozen form, mixed in with a number of other veggies to throw into stir fries and the like. I have to say that they are the best when they are fresh out of the garden though. There is just something about being able to crack one of those pods open to dine on the tiny food inside.

This fruit is something else. For some reason, when there is a bad situation, people often describe the situation as shaped like this fruit. I have no idea why that is, but there is something about this fruit that makes it bad. Maybe it's the bland taste? I don't know. However, I will say that there are some ciders that are made with this fruit and they taste delicious. I'm going to assume that has to do with some sort of sweetening, but I am not really concerned about that all too much. Anyway, this is one of those fruits that are often on the discount rack.
Name this fruit or veggie!
This is a delicious fruit right here. Be careful not to bite too hard and fast into this fruit though because it has a very solid centre. It has a nice big pit in the middle of it and I don't think anyone wants to try and chomp through it. This is one of the best fruits to have on a blazing summer day because it hydrates and sweetens everything. I remember a record-breaking heatwave in Toronto one morning, walking through one of the markets. Purchasing one of these fruits was the best part of that day before the heat exhaustion kicked in.
Name this fruit or veggie!
This might be one of those veggies that people typically stay away from but I have to say that there are some pretty interesting chip brands that use this veggie in the making of their special mix of veggies chips. I think Tyrell is the name of one of those chip brands. No, I don't mean the family from Game of Thrones. That is just a coincidence. Either way though, this is a typically avoided veggie, so far as I can tell. I don't know many people who use this particular food in many of their dishes but that doesn't mean it can't be made to taste good.
Name this fruit or veggie!
This is probably one of the best known of all the fruits in the list. It might have something to do with Burt Reynolds always advertising this fruit by way of some sort of Floridian juice back in the 90s. It was a real push. I think he also did ads through the 00s as well, but that doesn't really matter. This fruit grows in other places aside from Florida. That being said though, Florida is pretty widely known for this fruit, gators and then a bunch of stuff that I don't think we'll bother talking about right here. Just name this fruit.
Name this fruit or veggie!
I have to say that this has got to be one of the funniest veggies on this list. Not because of the name. Not because of the taste. It has way more to do with a little blurb from the film Shrek. It turns out that Ogres are like this veggie. Not because they smell bad or make people cry, but because they have layers. Ogres are like this veggie because they have layers. Now, there is something overwhelmingly hilarious to me about that. And I'm sure a lot of people found it equally as funny. This is a great stir fry veg though!
Name this fruit or veggie!
This is a veggie I happen to really love but I know a lot of people really don't Or at least a lot of the people I know happen to really not love this delicious little morsel at all. I often will buy a container full of these things but they will be stuffed with garlic. So delicious. they also have ones that are stuffed blue cheese, but I do sometimes have limits. I save those for when no one will be around me for a while. Aside from that, this tasty little thing is often processed into oils for cooking.
Name this fruit or veggie!
People really have to watch out with these tasty little morsels because there are many different types of this veggie and many of those many different types happen to be pretty bad for a person's health. And by bad, I mean final. And by final, I mean that's it, end of the line, it's all over but for the crying, sort of final. But, buying these guys at the grocery store isn't going to end up with that sort of finality. It's only if these are picked in the wild. People should really be sure of what they're picking first.
Name this fruit or veggie!
This is probably one of the better fruits in this list to be used for juices and nectar. There is something about drinking a nice cool glass of this fruit that is just so wonderfully tropical. It might could have something to do with the fact that this is a tropical fruit. I mean, that would seem to make sense. Aside from that, I don't know all that many people who go out of their way to eat this fruit on its own. However, eating it on skewers with pineapple and assorted veggies and maybe some chicken or fish is awesome.
Name this fruit or veggie!
Everyone should very easily be able to name this little fruit. I mean, anyone who goes out for a drink has surely seen this at one time or another being sliced and put on the edge of a glass for decoration, or to be twisted into the drink for flavor. And for those who don't go out, or are too young to go out yet, this fruit should still be known to all because it was put on a shortage list not too many years ago. People were really afraid that they would not be able to keep up with the demand for this fruit!
Name this fruit or veggie!
This is one of those veggies that is pretty bland and boring by itself. It just is. There is no way around that. I mean, a person could just have a go at this veggie leaf by leaf but I think it would be pretty unsatisfying compared to the way that most people like to enjoy this thing. I think that it is largely used as the base of a salad. It can also be put on sandwiches too for some extra crunch. But let's be honest here...there is not all that much flavor coming from one of these, right?
Name this fruit or veggie!
This is another one of those fruits that anyone at a bar will instantly be able to recognize. What am I even talking about? Anyone who has ever had a real summer with real fun has seen this fruit before or at least had it in some way shape or form. And for those who haven't, they've surely seen it in the movies. This fruit is not often eaten directly because of how tart it is to the taste, however, it is often squeezed into a delicious juice that is seen as a very summer-heavy drink. It's also used as garnish.
Name this fruit or veggie!
This used to be one of my favorite fruits in the world. To be fair now, I don't really go out of my way to buy this anymore. I actually never really went out of my way to buy it in the first place, actually. This was a fruit I had at home when I still lived with my parents. And now that I'm thinking of it, I really should go out and buy some. It is a tasty little fruit. A lot of people think it is very strange, but I will also eat the skin of this fruit sometimes.
Name this fruit or veggie!
Oh, this is probably one of the most flavorful veggies on this list. That being said, this is probably one of those veggies that most people won't go out of their way to buy because of the flavor. Let's just say that it has a little bit of a kick. A little more of a kick than I think most people really want. However, this veggie is used in all sorts of dressings, sauces, and other sorts of flavoring all over the world. Oh, if ever anyone here does go out and purchase one of these, make sure not to wipe eyes after handling them...
Name this fruit or veggie!
Last year, I had a great garden growing in my backyard and in that garden was this veggie. I had this veggie growing up to two feet tall, which I think it pretty awesome. I wouldn't even have to dig up the bulb to enjoy the flavor of this veggie. I would simply cut from the stalk, and then let it continue growing. It was awesome to have. Now I've moved and don't have the luxury of an outdoor garden, but I will be growing these things over the winter, for sure. And that will be very tasty indeed. But what is it?
Name this fruit or veggie!
Oh, this dreaded veggie. Don't get me wrong. I do very much enjoy the taste of this veggie and it is made even better with the addition of butter and salt in a frying pan but that is not the reason I recoil when I think of this particular veggie. I recoil because I remember spending hours upon hours in my Grandpa's garden, weeding around these things, and then picking and cleaning these things before having to see them on the dinner table. And, at the time, I was definitely not a fan of the veggie, for sure. But here we are.
Name this fruit or veggie!
This is a pretty tasty fruit, for sure. Why? Well, for many reasons, actually. I mean, it really doesn't hurt that these little guys can be used to make wine. That is definitely a big help, in my opinion. Beyond that though, these are actually just very tasty to pick right off the vines. True, most people will probably never do that in their lives. They will buy the bags that are available at the grocery store nearest to them. And that's fine. There are several varieties to get. But I have to say that my Grandpa's Concord version of this fruit is amazing.
Name this fruit or veggie!
This might not be everyone's favorite piece of vegetable, but I have to say that it is probably one of the best veggies on this list to keep people healthy. It's not because of the flavor, that's for sure. A lot of people really cannot handle a lot of this veggie on its own and for very good reason. It is a powerful thing when it comes to flavor. That being said, it is a powerful aid when it comes to medicine. Sore throat? Stuffy nose? Upset stomach? This veggie can really help with all of those. Make it into a tea or eat it as is...
Name this fruit or veggie!
This is one of my favorite veggies here and it is also perhaps one of the healthiest ones. Or, it is at least one of the best veggies on this list to use in order to keep people healthy. There is something about it. I don't know enough of the science to go into great detail, but so far as I know, this little bulbous veggie helps to boost the immune system and I cannot really see much of a problem with that. Not sure about anyone else here, but I use this veggie in so much of my cooking.
Name this fruit or veggie!
This is a very interesting veggie, for sure. This, in other countries that don't include the Americas or the Commonwealth apparently call this this an aubergine. I have no idea why and I have no idea about the connection between that name and the far more common name that people typically give this big veggie. For some reasons, which I will not discuss here, this veggie has made its way as one of the most popular emojis out there in the wide world of the internet. I think some people should probably just grow up but either way, this is a delicious veg.
Name this fruit or veggie!
When I'm in one of those health moods and I think I want to stay away from the crackers for at least a little while, I turn to this delicious veggie as a replacement for crackers. True, it is nowhere near as salty or flavorful but it definitely does have a crunch to it that I have to say say is mighty fine with meats and cheeses added to the mix. This is also often used in some beverages to add a refreshing quality that one might not expect exists in the wide world of drinks. It's also pretty good on sandwiches too.
Name this fruit or veggie!
This is a pretty seasonal fruit, for sure, and it is not often looked upon as the most delicious or the most enjoyable of all the fruits either. It probably has a rep for being the most disliked, actually. Even though it is actually very good when it comes to bladder issues and digestion as well. It is a healthy and bitter fruit that typically grows low in a marsh area. I actually plan to go out after another frost and see about picking a few of these myself, not far from where I live. I think it will be a fun little trip.
Name this fruit or veggie!
This is one of those fruits that actually took me a fairly long time to truly enjoy. I think it's because I was first introduced to the weird, sugared, and jarred version of this fruit that really does not taste anything like the real deal. Then I was just given all sorts of juices and fruit snacks that also don't really do the flavor of this fruit justice. Then I was introduced to certain people who could take the stem of this fruit and twist it into a knot using only their tongue...and then finally I was actually introduced to the fruit to taste.
Name this fruit or veggie!
This has become a new craze in recent years. A lot of people used to think that this was just a gross heap of something that reminds them of the character of Gothmog from The Lord of The Rings...or maybe one of the weird creatures from The Last Of Us. Either way though, this is actually a very tasty veggies that lends itself well to all sorts of dips. It also happens to be tasty in other ways, and that is why I mention this new craze. Many pubs are trying to embrace healthy food by making them unhealthy and covering them with breading and buffalo sauce.
Name this fruit or veggie!
This is probably one of the most common veggies to be seen out and about any market or garden or grocery store. I mean, it does stand out with that color. And it also doesn't hurt that people comment on how much it is supposed to help one's eyesight. Then, on top of that, after an episode of The Magic School Bus, back in the day, everyone was instantly fascinated with the fact that this veggies could actually turn someone orange if they ate just a little too much...well...much too much, actually. But I still think that is really cool, for sure.
Name this fruit or veggie!
This, for whatever reason, seems to be everyone's least favorite veggies. I actually have no idea why. I think there was a whole generation who just grew up thinking that this veggies belonged solely in the fridges of old people and since they were afraid to be old once they were actually old themselves, they still refused to eat these lovely things. I actually think it is pretty easy to make a tasty dish with these veggies and I would love to turn people around on eating them because even something as simple as butter and salt can make anything taste good.
Name this fruit or veggie!
This is actually one of my all-time favorite veggies in this whole list, and of all veggies put together. My mom will constantly recount the tale of when I was a little kid, riding in the shopping cart while my mom was doing groceries. She put a stalk of this veggie in the cart, and by the time she had reached the check out and was loading everything onto the counter, she finally discovered that I had eaten all of the flowered parts of the veggie, right down to the stalk. I might hear that story a few times a year...but I still love it.
Name this fruit or veggie!
This is apparently one of the healthiest fruits on this menu today. There is something about it that makes it extra special. Even to the point that people call this thing a SUPER FRUIT! Which is also the name of a band, if anyone really cared to know that. But all that aside, this is a very healthy fruit because of the amount of antioxidants contained within. Why is that a good thing? Well, everyone knows why rust happens, right? It's because of oxidation. Well, this fruit helps prevent that from happening in the human body as quick as it could.
Name this fruit or veggie!
This is a particular berry that I think a lot of people just are not all that sure of. I think it has something to do with the fact that it has a little bit of a bitter finish, even though it is a pretty sweet berry overall. But hey, that doesn't stop this fruit from being pretty delicious either way. And if some people don't want to eat it...then there is more for the rest of us. This berry is especially good on top of a baked round of brie cheese, alongside some other berries. It works so well together!
Name this fruit or veggie!
This is a pretty all-round delicious veggie. I use this mostly in stir fries or just on its own with some cheese and crackers or whatever. One of the best ways to have this though is with rice stuffed inside with various other veggies and a meat of some sort, and maybe a good sauce. There is something about baking one of these, stuffed with all sorts of deliciousness that just makes this veggie particularly special. Of course, That doesn't mean that everyone will suddenly want to dig in, but I do think that should be at least a bit of a motivator.
Name this fruit or veggie!
This is actually one of the very few fruits and veggies on this list that I pretty well will just not eat. I don't know, there is just something about the taste, and the look, and the fact that a single drop of its juice can completely mess an outfit or table cloth forever! That being said, this is, for whatever reason, one of my mother's most cherished of all fruits and veg. It still boggles my mind today and I really do not know much that I can say that is good about this...I guess my grandpa made good cooking wine out of these...
Name this fruit or veggie!
I had a ton of this veggie all summer long thanks to my girlfriend and her little garden in her backyard. She bought a plant of this at the grocery store and it just kept going and going once she planted it out there. It has a very specific taste that I don't think anyone could quite mistake. that specific taste actually seems to work very well in beverages to give a very refreshing flavor. I love that. I was actually very surprised too, but happy at the same time. Beyond that, pastas, sauces, rice, sandwiches...it can go all over the place.
Name this fruit or veggie!
This is one of my favorites, right here. There is a nice little zing to these little guys but it really isn't all that much. That, or I have become so accustomed to the flavor that I really don't feel it near as much anymore. There is something about these, though, that just really work for me. I actually emptied a jar recently but used the brine left over from them to cook up a dish of rice. It was awesome to have that little kick in the rice with everything else. Just be careful not to inhale deeply if cooking with stuff like that.
Name this fruit or veggie!
Mmm, these are one of the best right here. A good source of potassium, which everyone does need, and a great taste that can be found in all manner of recipes. I mean, this can be made into a cream pie, a tart, a chip (this fruit made into chips is my dad's favorite), ice cream, yogurt...there are so many ways to manipulate this fruit. And even just eating it as is is tasty. I actually was just chowing down on chips made from this fruit that I made myself a few months ago. I bought a dehydrator that works very well!
Name this fruit or veggie!
This is one of the healthier fruits on this list and why that is will surprise most people. That's because this is actually a very fatty fruit, believe it or not. And yes, I did say that it was very healthy. As it turns out, the body does actually need some fat. It is just a matter of what kind the body takes in as to what is considered healthy or not. The type that is contained in what some people call the crocodile pear, are healthy for each of us, and I have two bags of these in the fridge right now.
Name this fruit or veggie!
This is one of my favorite veggies to do up on the BBQ. Seriously though. Just get a skillet (not the band), but some oil or butter in there (butter will help it crisp better), throw in some salt and pepper, maybe a few other veggies like garlic or maybe some onions and then everything is good to go. Just make sure that the butter or oil doesn't spill much into the BBQ. No one wants to deal with that fire or eat these little spears when they are completely charred. Either way, I think these are pretty much delicious.
Name this fruit or veggie!
This might be the most popular of all the fruits and veggies here on this list. I mean, there is no escaping just how important this fruit has become to society. There are juices, pies, tarts, crumble, sauces, ciders, and the list goes on and on. Cider is my particular favorite when it comes to something made with this fruit. Hard cider and soft, actually. I also love making chips out of this fruit with my dehydrator. It is certainly a very handy thing to have around. In addition to all of that, just on its own, this is a tasty fruit. With seeds that are good for digestion...
