Which vegetables are fruits?

Answer 1

In some ways people have an understatement on what a fruit is. Most believe that the cucumber is a vegetable when in reality it is a fruit. In some opinions all fruits have seeds: strawberries, apples, squash, cucumbers, and even bananas.

Vegetables either are a seed or they just don't have a seed, like corn and string beans.

Fruits contain seeds, either within or without the body. Hence, cucumbers and other squashes contain their seeds inside the body while the seeds of the strawberry are contained on the outside of the skin. Peas and beans are also fruits, although the actual pea and bean inside the fruit (or pod) are technically regarded as seeds. Coconut is also a seed pod.

The fruiting body of a fungus, such as the mushroom or toadstool, is the part you are most famiar with, while the main part of the fungus (classed as a vegetable) is underground.

So if you are unsure whether or not a specific vegetable is a fruit or not, look for the seeds. The answer above is correct in that all fruits are also vuegatables, even though in a colloqial sense vegetables are eaten with the main course and fruits with pudding!

Nevertheless, cauliflower and broccoli are the flower heads of the vegetable and hence it can technically be correctly argued that they are fruits.

Answer 2

A vegetable is any edible part of a plant, and can include roots, tubers, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits.

A fruit is the part of a seed-bearing plant that contains the seeds.

Foods like tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers, and so forth, are vegetables that are also fruits.
