When it comes to adopting edible plants as state symbols, North Carolina is a leader.
The scuppermong (a type of grape) is the state fruit, while the blueberry and strawberry were designated the official blue berry and red berry, respectively.
The sweet potato (shared with Louisiana) is the official vegetable.
