Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. I have many skins and am guaranteed to make you cry.

Answer: Onion

Onions are possibly my favourite vegetable, and are very versatile. They are a great source of vitamin C and are good for your heart because in their natural state they are fat free, cholesterol free and virtually sodium free.

2. I come in many different colours and can be sweet or fiery hot.

Answer: Pepper

When I first got into eating peppers they could only be found in the red or green variety. Now you can find yellow and orange versions too. Green peppers are rich in Iron and yellow, red and orange peppers have anti-oxidant properties which can help fight cancer. Habaneros and jalapenos are 2 of the hotter varieties.

3. I'm good in coleslaw and have dolls named after me.

Answer: Cabbage

The doll is, of course, the Cabbage Patch Kid. Cabbages are rich in vitamins C and E, which is a good excuse to eat coleslaw.

4. Boil me, mash me, roast me, chip me!!

Answer: Potato

Full of starch to fill you up, potatoes are one of the most under rated vegetables. They can be cooked in may ways and come in many shapes and sizes. They are a good source of vitamin C and fibre.

5. I'm also known as Lady's Fingers, gombo, bamie, and quiabo.

Answer: Okra

Okra is quibombo in Spain, gombo in France, and in India it is bhindi. It is related to the hibiscus plant, and it is the pods that are cooked as a vegetable. The juice from a cut okra is traditionally used as a thickening agent.

6. I'm the Welsh National Emblem.

Answer: Leek

Although the daffodil is used as a Welsh emblem, so is the leek and is used on the badges of Welsh Guards. Leeks resemble large spring onions, but have a very delicate flavour. They are an excellent source of fibre.

7. My Latin names are Brassica oleracea, or Brassica gemmifera and in some countries I'm eaten with a traditional Christmas dinner.

Answer: Brussels Sprout

The sprout is believed to originate from Belgium which is how it gets its full name. It is rich in vitamin C and iron.

8. I'm usually seen with Bugs Bunny, or any other famous rabbit.

Answer: Carrot

Carrots are thought to be a favourite of rabbits. They are rich in Vitamin A and Beta Carotene. Eating plenty of carrots is thought to give you better eyesight, and as the saying goes 'You don't see many rabbits with glasses'.

9. My Latin name is Helianthus tuberosus and I am a member of the Sunflower family.

Answer: Jerusalem Artichoke

The flower of the Jerusalem Artichoke is similar to a sunflower, but smaller. The root is the part we eat as a vegetable and is very high in starch. The plant is native of North America.

10. Kind words do not butter me!

Answer: Parsnip

This comes from the old saying 'Kind Words Butter No Parsnips'. Parsnips are a good source of calcium, potassium and folate, and are probably best roasted.
