Otoh the fruit/veggie dinstinction is from culinary tradition and has nothing to do with botanical sciences.

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

Who makes these rules? They’re so unintuitive.

I don’t particularly mind the culinary fruit/vegetable definition, but feel like sweet fruits/savory fruits/vegetables would have been clearer.
