I’m shaped like a pear but darker in color My insides are creamy and have super skin powers
You can use me as dip for your favorite chip
But be careful, you should only eat a little of me
Because I have 275 calories you see

I’m the fruit that acts like a vegetable
I’m as small as a cherry or as big as a baseball
You can eat me with salad, pizza, or pasta
Squeeze me on burgers or have me as soup
I’m very high in Vitamin A and Vitamin C Don’t forget about all the potassium in me

I’ve got lots of Vitamin C And my seeds are outside of me
I’m a special type of fruit you see!
I grow close to the ground
You can come pick me, or buy me by the pound

I usually come in white or brown
You can get me all in year round
I have yellow stuff inside of me
I am the protein with your morning tea

I’m one of the world’s oldest known fruits, I grow on a tree
You can even find me inside your cookie Calcium and fiber, I do provide
You can eat me fresh or eat me dried

I am a handsome white vegetable
That is actually a flower
I remind you of broccoli
And bring great phyto-power!

I can be long and green
Or brown and round
I’ll be your veggie or your meat
You can eat me cold or with some heat
I can grow on a pod or on a vine
I will provide you with fiber as you dine. 

I am found in everything you eat and drink All except for water
You need me every single day
Some people need more of me than others What am I?

Although I have quite the bad reputation
I am essential for your diet.
I help you absorb Vitamin A, D, E and K. There are different types of me
Some good and some not
Use me sparingly 

I am in every part of your body
I am in the food you eat I break down and build back up
I am in eggs, nuts, and meat

I am the only vegetable that will make you cry
I can be added to almost everything, I am really very sly
You can chop me up,  Measure me by the cup
I can be yellow, white, red, or green Add me to your cooking for I am not usually seen.

You throw away the outside and cook the inside
Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside
What did you eat?

You won’t find me in the freezer
Or in the canned good aisle
Chop me up with other veggies
And lay me in a pile
You can only find me fresh
Because that’s how I taste best
