Otoh the fruit/veggie dinstinction is from culinary tradition and has nothing to do with botanical sciences.
I don’t particularly mind the culinary fruit/vegetable definition, but feel like sweet fruits/savory fruits/vegetables would have been clearer.
That’s interesting.
It’s like how peanuts are legumes and not nuts. But I feel like that makes sense because of the pods.
Yeah and they grow in the ground too.
A distinction that I find more entertaining than the fruit/veggie one is the berry category.
- blueberry: not a berry
- blackberry: nuh-uh
- Strawberry: you’re an accessory fruit
- banana: yup, totally a berry
- watermelon: go for it
That’s nuts
