fruit or vegetable?


By definition many of the plants we assume are vegetables because of how we eat them are not what they seem.

Fruit - Reproductive part of plant meant to be eaten to distribute seeds

Vegetable- any part of the plant besides the fruit that is consumed ex: leaves, stems, roots tubers ect.

You thought it was a vegetable but it's a fruit:
Tomatoes
peppers
green beans
snap and snow peas
zucchini
squash
cucumbers
