is a lemon a friut or vegtable?

Answer 1

FRUIT!!!

Answer 2

This is the best way to find out what plant based foods are fruit or vegetables. First of all what is a fruit? Fruits are products of flowers and usually develop as a result of a flower being pollinated. Fruits are basically seed containers and seed disseminators. Some plants, however, develop fruit without fertilization, a process called parthenocarpy. These fruits are seedless.

How do fruits form? In general, soon after a flower is fertilized, its ovule begins to form into a seed. The flower's petals fall off, and the ovary, which surrounds the ovule, swells. As the seed matures, the ovary or fruit ceases expanding.

There are numerous types of fruit, which can be grouped into three basic categories: simple fruits, aggregate fruits, and multiple fruits. Simple fruits are the products of flowers containing just one pistil, the main female reproductive organ of flowers. A pistil includes an ovary and an extension called a style, which is topped with a stigma. The stigma is what receives the pollen for fertilization.

Simple fruits include sunflower seeds, walnuts, peas, beans, wheat, tomatoes, apples, avocadoes, cherries, olives, and bananas, to name several.

Aggregate fruits develop from flowers with multiple pistils, and include blackberries and strawberries. Multiple fruits develop from a cluster of flowers and include pineapples and figs.

Scientifically even peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers and other squashes are fruits. We just eat them like a vegetables.

A vegetable is a leaf, stalk, root or root bulb of an edable plant.

Answer 3

The lemon (Citrus × limon) is a hybrid citrus tree of cultivated origin. The fruit are used primarily for their juice, though the pulp and rind (zest) are also used, primarily in cooking or mixing. Lemon juice is about 5% citric acid, which gives lemons a sour taste and a pH of 2 to 3. This acidity makes lemon juice a cheap, readily available acid for use in educational chemistry experiments.

Answer 4

This is like asking if a carrot is a root or a vegetable. "Vegetable" is NOT a botanical term. You can't contrast "fruit vs vegetable" because you're using two different types of definitions - like deciding whether to say "hello" in English or French.

Botanically, any ripened ovary is a fruit. This includes lemons, tomatoes, cucumbers and lots of other things. Botanically, there is no such thing as a vegetable.
The culinary definition system does allow for vegetables but in this case too, the lemon is a fruit. But cukes and peppers aren't.

Whether something has seeds or not is IRRELEVANT. Ever seen seedless grapes and bananas? They don't have seeds, but they are fruit. Lots of people are ignorant about this.
