Best Answer

This would depend on the moisture of the fruit or vegetable, and nutrients, and the type of mold. Mold doesn't care about classifications or tastes - it only cares about what gives it energy and helps it grow. Unripe, dry, thick-skinned things won't encourage mold growth as well as thin-skinned, decomposing, moist organic matter, regardless of being fruit or vegetable.
