Strawberries are juicy and tasty fruits that belong to the rose family. They are known for their bright red color, sweet taste and distinctive texture. They belong to the so-called "false fruits" because the edible parts are actually the seeds on the surface, while the real fruits are on the inside.
The pomegranate looks like a large, pinkish-red apple with a leathery skin. When you break or cut the pomegranate, you will see the countless red seeds.
In addition to the dried varieties that are sometimes over 2 years old before they end up on your cutting board, there's also a fresh variety. The taste is a bit milder than the dried variety, which is great when used raw.
Although the name might suggest otherwise, this delicious, sweet tuber is not a "real" potato. Sweet potatoes come in many colors and varieties. There are, for example, purple, white, orange and red sweet potatoes. It is a popular and important crop worldwide and extremely versatile.
Sugar snaps are a mix between garden peas and mangetouts. This makes them taste sweeter than the mangetouts and that is where the name sugar snaps comes from. You can eat the sugar snaps all in once. The great thing about the sugar snaps is that they stay fresh and crunchy during preparation.
This flat, crunchy and slightly sweet legume has become an indispensable part of world cuisine. They are the young pods of a pea variety, but unlike many pea varieties, this vegetable is not harvested for its peas (because they are tiny) but for the whole pod.
