The scientific definition of a fruit is any structure that develops from the fertilized ovary of a flower and contains seeds of a plant.

It is legally a vegetable in the US, but botanically, it is a fruit.
Chili peppers are botanically fruits, but are generally considered in culinary contexts to be vegetables.
