Anyway, the pericarp is basically the whole darn thing, with seeds (including seed coat) interspersed throughout... Although hopefully not since most commercial oranges are selected for diminished seed production when the fruit is ripest.

The focus of this picture is the first node towards the bottom left.  It's going crazy with stuff... There appear to be multiple branches/leaves/axillary buds/inflorescences coming out of this one node.  I found it at my neighbors house.

Although they are dead for now, this is a great example of a inflorescence cluster.  Found in a yard down the street from me.  I believe it is a compound umbel, but it could maybe be a thyrse.

This example of olive oil made sure everyone knows where it is from. Under the ingredients, it states multiple times the origins. I think this is both a proud heritage as well as a quality statement, as Italy and the Mediterranean are steeped in the history of olives and their products.

This example of wine highlights not only where it is from, but the topography and fertility of where the grapes were grown as well. It caught my attention, but if I were to hypothesize, I would attribute it more to a marketing scheme rather than a quality argument. Part of my evidence stems from the fact that I only spent about 8 or so dollars on it.

I found these between the greenhouses and Alderman Hall. I think the shelter of the trees may have helped, but more importantly, I believe they are hardier than most plants and are able to tolerate longer exposure to extreme weather.

I found this kale outside of the greenhouses. It is obviously dying, however, this plant was able to take extreme weather, shown by the still green leaves. The snow definitely sealed its fate.

Sea Salt From Spain.. a nice alliteration.  Although sea salt is tasty, the ocean is the ocean, and the fact that it is from Spain is probably just for show. I know it's not a plant food, but it is a great example of something being advertised as "from wherever" when it doesn't actually make a difference.  Also, the ocean is salty in part due to billions of years of decaying biomass (YEAH, PLANTS!!)...
