According to botanists, fruits are those parts of a plant which develop from flowers and produce seeds. On the other hand, vegetables are other parts of plants: the stalks, the leaves or the roots. Taking account of this classification, let’s take a look at common fruits that are believed to be vegetables.
1. Eggplants
They have seeds, they have a fleshy texture, and yes, they are a fruit.
2. Pumpkins
Fall’s most preferred food is, contrary to what you would expect, a fruit. A sweet and delicious one.
3. Peppers
We could have sworn they were a vegetable, but they are a fruit, too.
4. Tomatoes
Tomatoes have every characteristic of a fruit: they have a soft and juice flesh and they contain seeds.
5. Avocadoes
They grow in trees and they are unanimously considered a fruit.
It seems that the notion of a fruit salad may be a totally different concept from the usual.
