That means a banana leaf would be a vegetable because its part of a fruit plant that doesn't help it reproduce

[itsmeGames]

yup :P

[Charlie]

I'm confused

[Area51_Hacker2]

so the stigma is also a fruit?

[itsmeGames]

um... I guess... :lol:

[ac5361]

lol. So people don't have to argue if a tomato is a veg. or fruit xD

[Area51_Hacker2]

Well heres what I wonder.... A tomato isn't technically a fruit..... I think a tomato seed is a fruit and a tomato is a vegetable. It could be argued that all vegetation is a fruit!

[itsmeGames]

a tomato is a fruit because it's directly used for reproduction. that's the whole point of a tomato. if it wasn't used for that, then the plant would just drop the seeds without a fruit around them

"If you are speaking in a botanical, scientific context, then pumpkin, tomato, capsicum, cucumber, tomato and squash are FRUITS because they all have seeds. If you are speaking in culinary terms, they can all be properly called VEGETABLES."

So your saying that anything with seeds (botanically speaking) is a fruit?
