Hi, Everybody,
While this might sound absurdly obvious, this question is *not* a troll.
Technically speaking, what is the difference between a fruit and a vegetable?
I looked it up at
I know that apples, oranges, bananas, and tomatoes are considered fruits.
I *think* that lettuce, spinach, broccoli, couliflower are vegetables.
But what about capsicum (bell pepper), courgettes/zucchini, or cucumbers? I always thought that they were vegetables, but they have seeds in them. Are they technically fruit? What distinguishes a gourd?
Can anyone tell me the plain-english rule on this?
Thanks in advance...
