Otoh the fruit/veggie dinstinction is from culinary tradition and has nothing to do with botanical sciences.
I don't particularly mind the culinary fruit/vegetable definition, but feel like sweet fruits/savory fruits/vegetables would have been clearer.
Durian would've been a fruitable :p
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.
That's nuts
Who makes these rules? They're so unintuitive.
These rules are made by botanists.
A berry is a fleshy fruit without a pit produced by a single flower containing a single ovary.
This definition is different from the colloquial culinary one which refers to anything small, growing on a small plant or bush and without a pit.
