Congratulations on hybridizing that enormous strawberry with an apple. Also, you have very unique hand proportions. NEat.

Oh, check this out, I had to get a hand X-ray and discovered that I have the beginnings of two extra vestigial thumbs. Space aliens unite. They say mah bones r supernumerary. I've always wanted to be supernumerary; it sounds like a talent of some sort.

EDIT: Ok, so I Googled for this, and it looks like more than half the Xrays show the same thing, so it's like having attached vs detached earlobes. So, you definitely win for hand uniqueness.

Spoiler: bones

Sorry your thread was hijacked by the thumb monster, let's get back to fruits. I eat avocados, and they are considered fruits!

Failing all other criteria, Homer Simpson himself stated that purple is a fruit. It's authoritative.

EDIT: You can safely disregard that Homer is not a botanist.

What number of avogadros would you like? Guacamole? How about just a mole?

 

[Levitat0r]

Did u kno: the mass of a mole of avocados (ordinarily used for guacamole) exceeds the mass of the moon?

Average avocado weight: 170g
Mole of avocados: 1.02376393 × 10^23 kg
Mass of the moon: 7.348 × 10²²

Fruit is fascinating.

I live among orchards. There's nothing like the Michigan Tart Cherries; Montmorency and Balatons. Though the Balatons hail from Hungary. My neighbor lets me harvest Northern Spy apples after the first picking: great for Applesauce

I love cherries too. I have a cherry pit that I use. The pit to me is gross, but the juicy part is yummy.

I peeled a grapefruit because of this post. I took all the tiny veins off it before separating the slices and peeling them individually.

Rhubarb is a vegetable that the USDA characterizes as a fruit and recipes treat like a fruit. Tomatoes are fruits that the USDA characterizes as a vegetable and recipes treat like a vegetable. Go figure. . . .

Thanks for that info, l also discovered that rhubarb leaves are very toxic.

Kiwi is delicious and very high in vitamin C and potassium. I use them on the plate next to mashed sweet potatoes and the colors really popped.

With my stomach problems, I can’t handle most fruits. Here’s the only one I can handle (it’s actually a fruit).

So are the leaves of tomatoes and potatoes.
