more FFF(fun food facts) and TQ's(trivia question)

Here some more interesting FFF i came across.

Pumpkins are fruits, not vegetables

The average pumpkin weighs between 10 and 30 pounds. The winner of the 2003 biggest pumpkin contest weighed 1,140 pounds.

It takes between four and five pounds of grapes to make one pound of raisins

Most raisins are made from the Thompson Seedless variety of grapes. Because you can keep them indefinitely without having them spoil, raisins are a good choice for long trips.

Did you know that bananas are considered to be the greatest body builders among the fruit foods?

They have tissue building ability. Serve daily and you will have better health and save money! Do not keep bananas in the refrigerator.

Honey heals wounds?

Use Honey to help heal a small wound.Apply the honey to the bandage, notdirectly on the wound. Honey will help prevent scarring.

The answer to last week's TQ:
I was first discovered thousands of years ago, growing in the Andes mountains in South America. However, my early ancestors were small and rather bitter tasting. I was introduced to India in the early 17th century, reaching China a short time thereafter. Upon my arrival in Europe I was called a variety of names, some of which had to do with my resemblance to a truffle. Today, I am the main ingredient in an extremely popular snack food that no fast food restaurant would be caught without. What am I?

ANS:-POTATO!!!
