So beans and rice don't develop flowers first? Even yams do develop flowers
Na skool you know go or na English dey hard you? I just gave you a vivid description of what a fruit is and you dey hear dey ask underage questions. You dey harvest yam from flowers or from tubers underground?

Bean pods = Fruit (This is the part that houses the bean)

Beans seed = The seed inside the bean pod, which is what we cook and eat. Same thing applies to rice.

When dem harvest beans newly, you no dey see that green flower, wey dey cover the white beans? That thing na fruit, na the seed of the thing we dey cook chop.

The beans we eat is a seed just like a mango seed. The bean pod which houses the bean seed we eat is a fruit.
School no be scam.

Avocado could have been my best fruit, but you can't eat it ordinarily. It has to be paired.

My best fruit is pawpaw. I left soursop because of the too much sugar content. I use coconut for drinking akamu.
I also take orange for headache and catarrh.

I hate that useless fruit called pineapple. Don't even know its health benefits sef.
Wow for reall!!! Pineapple wey be say na the best fruit for food digestion. Park with lots of fibre... Baba do ur research

Ogbeni I no learn anything new, na you learn something new for you not to know say cucumber na fruit.
According to botany (the study of plants) , a fruit is the part of a flowering plant, that develops from the flower's ovary, and in most cases contains seed. That perfectly fits the description of a cucumber, I no remember where I tell you say carrots na fruit.
Chai !!! You just schooled the ogbeni big time!!😁 Botanically , cucumber is a fruit but it's mostly treated as a vegetable culinarily...

It has to be ripe, and harvested same day. From the next day,I don't appreciate it anymore. That is why I only enjoy it when I visit village. The ones we see in cities spend days on the road and sun. I don't fancy those types

TheStoriesOfMan:
I dislike African cherry and soursop.

I use a blender to grind both pulp and seed, then cover my nose and drink the soursop drink.

Hint: never use a knife used to cut onions to cut any fruit I want to eat. You'll ruin my day.

Guava.

To hell with that fruit!

All things being equal, there's nothing I want with that fruit.
I guess it is because Guava as a fruit is gradually becoming extinct in Nigeria. Most homes in Nigeria don't have Guava again. Guava has many varieties and I am seriously working on reviving many guava species in Nigeria. I am into Horticulture 🙏.

For security reasons, my uncle had to have the one right infront of our village house cut down, because it was already fruiting and attracting pluckers.
Organic one at that.
It pained me sha.

(I'm surprised it grew wildly, and fruited within 3 years)

My dad planted about five different guava species in his compound and they were all organic species. They lasted for more than 25 years in that compound. The guava species I am seeing around are not hardy at all. Yes, guava can fruit in three years. Other species fruit in 5-7 years but they are all organic. I am working on bringing back at least 10 species of guava into peoples homes in Southwestern Nigeria 🙏.
