How do you identyify a fruit from a vegatable?

Answer 1

Actually, a fruit comes from a flower (think cherry tree, apple tree, they all bloom in the spring and make fruits). A vegetable is a larger term referring to plants you can eat in general, wetter it's the roots, the leaves, the bulb, etc.

But theorically, if you eat something that comes from a plant, it is a vegetable, even if it's a fruit. Following? In botanical terms, nobody refers to one or another, since it's not a scientific word anyway.

Bottom line is, a tomato can be called both!

Answer 2

Fruits come from trees, and have seeds in them, while vegetables come from the ground and usually don't have seeds inside the actual vegetable.

c. hesperidium - fairly large fruit with fleshy part divided into segments, oranges, tomatoes, other citrus fruits, etc
