A list of fruits and vegetables has been written in Morse Code and all the spaces between the letters have been removed. What are the fruits and vegetables in the list?

 1: ***-*-**-*---*****-**-*-*--
 2: *--*----*-----
 3: -*-**--*-*-*-**---**-*--**
 4: *-**--***********
 5: *-*******--****-*-*-***
 6: ---*-**--*--**
 7: *-***------*
 8: -*-***-****-*-*--
 9: *-***--**--*-**
10: --*--*--*---

Morse Code Alphabet:

 A: *-    B: -***  C: -*-*  D: -**   E: *     F: **-*
 G: --*   H: ****  I: **    J: *---  K: -*-   L: *-**
 M: --    N: -*    O: ---   P: *--*  Q: --*-  R: *-*
 S: ***   T: -     U: **-   V: ***-  W: *--   X: -**-
 Y: -*--  Z: --**

Number 4 is the most obvious. It ends in a whole string of *'s.  The only letters consisting solely of *'s are H, I and S.  A veggie ending in these letters would be RADISH, and indeed this fits.
