It's actually a "mind tricking you" kind of question.

When one uses the word "pick" or "picked" when speaking about fruits/vegtables, we tend to associate picking it off the vine or from a branch and that's not the case.

Peter went to the market and picked out a new pair of shoes and then picked a peck of pickled peppers from the pepper vendor's store
