 What am I?Don't make me blush, but I'm very popular. Even if people say they don't like me, I'm in most meals you like. I'm usually bright red, but I can be green, yellow, orange, and even purple. Sometimes even a mixture of those colors in one fruit.  Where I growI grow on a vine on the ground. I'm technically a fruit because I grow on a flowering plant (even though people often think I'm a vegetable). My flowers are yellow and my leaves have a strong scent (in a good way).  After I'm pickedPick me from the vine and pop me in your mouth! Or, you can add me to salad, soup, salsa, and sauce... for your pizza. The options are unlimited with me. Did you guess...
