I had always learned if it has seeds (in nature) then it was a fruit, otherwise it was a vegetable or something else
I have a simple flowchart to determine what is or isn’t a veggie:
> Can I eat it? -> Yes -> Does it come from an animal? -> No = Vegetable
That’s why they call you the bread man.
Sand has a lot of minerals in it. Probably the healthiest veggie of them all!
First of all, cucumbers get the same flack, and those are actually green.
VEGETABLES DO NOT EXIST
Vegetables aren’t real. They made up the classification just to sell things that aren’t fruits.
Big Celery just trying to legitimize crunchy water
Same with nuts. Botanically, not a thing.
johnny is human tho
Fruit has a botanical and a culinary definition.
Vegetable only has a culinary definition.
Trying to decide on what food fits which category purely on the botanical definition of fruit is silly. In many other languages, the botanical and culinary definition even use completely different words. It’s like saying lobster is red meat using a scientific definition of red.
But if we are having fun with this, rhubarb: definitely no fruit, but far too sweet, too often consumed raw or minimally processed, and far too at home in a yoghurt to fit nicely into the group vegetable.
Having both definition of the same word that can be confused with each other is also silly, the culinary definition should find a new word.
Rhubarb’s just sour celery
But if we are having fun with this, rhubarb: definitely no fruit, far too sweet to fit nicely into vegetable.
Oh boy, another reason to hate rhubarb.
Also, you want a sweet vegetable? Sugar beet.
raw unprocessed sugar cane is delicious

In spanish tomatoes are called “hortalizas”, the others are “verduras” apart of “frutas”, fruits, in english only traduced with vegetables and fruits. Maybe because Spain has a better food culture. Mushrooms are something in between plants and animals in a separate genre, some even are actively moving to find food. The US anyway differences only protein, sugar and decoration, tomatoes in bottles from Heinz.

Tomatoes will always be a vegetable to me. And I base that entirely on vibes.
