Almost half of children who took part in a food poll failed to identify how 10 types of fruit were grown, with some believing bananas were made in factories.
One in 10 of the youngsters, who were aged six to 10, had no idea that apples grow on trees.
And more than one in four thought strawberries grew underground, while one in 10 thought they came from trees and some believed they just popped up in the fridge.
According to the poll of 1,000 kids by muffin firm The Fabulous Bakers, one in 10 children also thought chocolate bars grew on trees and a handful reckoned honey came from cows.
Watermelons left the youngsters completely baffled with guesses ranging from underground, on trees and in bushes.
Mangoes fared better with more than half knowing they grew on trees.

But the survey found some adults were just as bad. More than a quarter of grown-ups had no idea that bananas grew on a massive plant and one in ten thought grapes were picked from trees.
Victoria Willis of The Fabulous Bakers said: “It is really important that people know exactly where the food we put into our bodies comes from.
“When you look closely at how natural ingredients grow, you really do appreciate just how fabulous the natural world is.
“For example, pineapples are 200 flowers fused together and bees tell other bees where to get the best food by dancing.”
