This shows what you get when you summarize data incorrectly. It's pretty close to meaningless.

All that this shows is the differences in water content of the preferred fruits and veggies consumed in the country.

For example in turkey they eat a lot of watermelons and cucumbers.

Northern counties eat vegetables like carrots and cabbage which has a lower water content.

In order to more accurately understand vegetable consumption you must first convert to dry matter of vegetables consumed and then compare.
