Random Fruit Facts!

Ok, so I was thinking it'd be cool to have some random facts on my blog.  Well...here you go!

·Banana trees are actually herbs.  This surprised me a lot.

·Mangoes belong to the same family as poison Ivy!  Now I dislike Mangoes even more!

·Passion fruits were first grown in Brazil. (another fact about Brazil; the capital is Brasília!) 

·Lemon trees can produce 2,000 fruits a year!!  (Of course it depends on how old they are, and how healthy they are.)

·If you rub the inside of a banana peel on a mosquito bite, the itchiness will go away!

·There are over 400 varieties of Kiwi in China.

·Apples may reduce the risk of many kinds of cancer!  An Apple a day keeps the Dr. away!

·Strawberries were used as sacred symbols by Christian stonemasons.

One more fun fact; 

·All of these facts I got from playing Fruit Ninja!!  (Except the capital of Brazil.)

Please feel free to comment.
