How to tell fruits from vegetables
Fruit is simply the edible part of a plant that surrounds one or more seeds. By examination tomatoes, cucumbers, pumpkin, avocados, olives and zucchinis and peppers - they all contain seeds and are therefore in the botanical sense classified as fruits
Fruits often found in the vegetable section in the supermarket are placed there because of their similar culinary characteristics as vegetables; they are savory and not as sweet as most fruits.
