So technically I think it might fit under Edible Ammunition. "...any type of food used as ammo, whether it be thrown..."

If it could be differentiated out, it might stand on its own. Could also be a sub-trope.

In either case, since we don't have exploding crops in real life, it could also be a form of Fantastic Fruits and Vegetables.

Seconding Fantastic Fruits and Vegetables, but regarding exploding fruit: while the explosion isn't of the combustion sort...

Might be a viable subtrope if it isn't Too Rare to Trope.

Seconding Edible Ammunition. I don't think this would inherently fit Fantastic Fruits and Vegetables though, since it could refer to a bomb that's designed to look like, but isn't actually, a fruit or vegetable. The example might, however, from what is said here.

Fantastic Fruits and Vegetables would fit all the exploding and projectile plants in the Plants vs. Zombies game, I'd say.

To clarify, since exploding vegetables aren't a thing in a real life (outside of some crazy accidental scenarios), they'd be Fantastic Fruits and Vegetables. Since they are used as weapons for their explosive capabilities, they're also Edible Ammunition.

So, they're Fantastic Fruits and Vegetables because they explode, and because they explode, they're used as Edible Ammunition. They fit both.
