Bell peppers are botanically fruits, but are generally considered in culinary contexts to be vegetables.

The Grocery industry keep on profiling this fruit as a vegetable. This leads to much confusion regarding the terms Vegetable and Fruit.

A vegetable is however a part of a plant which does not contain seeds.

Bell Peppers are fruits since thy most certainly have got seeds in them.

Bell Peppers is however not a type of pepper, but that is another story.

A fruit is the part of a plant that contains the seeds- think about apples and apple seeds. Vegetables are a fleshy part of the plant that can be eaten- think of cabbage, carrots, lettuce. A bell pepper is the fruit of the pepper plant.
