∙ 12y agoPeople get mistaken if zucchini is a vegetable, that is a common error.
The truth is that zucchini a fruit because the fruit contains seeds in it.
It is like other fruits and vegetables that are most common to be mistaken for.
For example pumpkin,tomato,cucumber,strawberries,pineapple and figs.
Some fruits are used as vegetables in cooking like cucumber but some are just used as fruits.
A fruit, in botonical sense consists of the ripened ovaries of the plant, usually containing seeds and a vegetable is just the opposite, that means a vegetable doesn't have seeds contained in it.
So be careful choosing your fruits or vegetables!
