Question

Major source of sugar in the world-
(a) Beta vulgaris
(b) Annona squamosa
(c) Citrullus vulgaris
(d) None of the above

Answer 1

Hint: A green leafy vegetable is a chard or Swiss chard. The leaf stalks in the Flavescens-Group cultivars are wide and mostly prepared separately from the leaf blade; the leafy spinach beet is the Cicala-Group. The color of the leaf blade may be green or reddish; the leaf stalks are usually white, or yellow, or red in color.

Complete answer: In the Amaranthaceae family, Beta vulgaris (beet) is a herb. There are various cultivated varieties, the most well known of which is the beetroot or garden beet, the root vegetable.
Sugar beet, a cultivated Beta vulgaris strain, is grown in cooler climates as a root crop and became a major source of sugar in the 19th century when sugar extraction methods became available.

Additional information: Annona squamosa: A small, well-branched tree or shrub from the Annonaceae family, Annona squamosa bears edible fruits known as sugar-apples or sweet shops. A tropical lowland climate is better tolerated than its relatives Annona reticulata and Annona cherimola (whose fruits also bear the same name) , making it the most commonly cultivated of these plants.
Citrullus vulgaris- Description Watermelon, a vine-like flowering plant originally domesticated in West Africa, is a plant species in the Cucurbitaceae family. Having more than 1,000 varieties, it is a widely cultivated fruit worldwide. In the flowering plant family Cucurbitaceae, the watermelon is a scrambling and trailing vine.
So, the correct answer is ‘Beta Vulgaris’.

Note: The Beta vulgaris crop is cultivated on a limited basis for the production of pigments and is used as a source of natural food dyes. The pigments of betalain in beetroot have been used as a substitute for the red and yellow synthetic pigments commonly used to color food products.
