A cucumber is a fruit not a vegtable because it has seeds. Its the same as a tomato, apple, chili and grapes. It is as simple as that really. Most people get confused because its more of a rich fruit they seem to think its a vegetable. Another reason people think its a vegetable is because you put it in salads and have them when main meal foods such as wraps and salads not for dessert like fruit salad and banana split. It is one of those common mistakes everybody has once in a while.
