I'm pretty sure that botanically speaking all or most vegetables are fruits. Vegetable is a culinary term not a botanical term.
Too lazy to look it up now but "fruit" is the part of the plant that carries the seed, and we do eat a lot of those. Leafy food like spinach isn't fruit, but things like gourds are.
But also some “fruits” are not fruits, like strawberries.
strawberries are definitely fruit comrade, the fleshy part is the swollen ova of the flower, so if i'm remembering correctly the 'spots' on a strawberry the are actually individual fruits themselves
wheat, and rice are also fruit, rice wine and beer are fruit drinks 🍻
vegetable meaning loosely any edible part of a plant, fruits are also vegetables
Yes that’s what I meant. What we consider a fruit in the strawberry is actually a pseudo fruit formed from the receptacle of the flower, not the ovaries. And the “seeds” are fruits with the seeds inside them.
And yes ofc fruits are vegetables. Every edible part of a plant is a vegetable. But also, vegetable is a culinary category and is very loose and unscientific so yeah…
Strawberries are fruit, but they are not berries.
they're also not straw
The fruits are the “seeds” on the surface. The “fruit” we think of is a pseudo fruit formed from the flower receptacle.
