Nope, avocado is a fruit. It has a big seed.
http://www.avocado.org/about/fun_facts.php
Also, "Botanically the fruit is 'the developed ovary of a seed plant with its contents and accessory parts, as the pea pod, nut, tomato, pineapple, etc.' or 'the edible part of a plant developed from a flower with any accessory tissues, as the peach, mulberry, banana, etc.'"

Avocados are actually fruits. Many people think that they are veggies. D'you know that the peanut is not a nut, it's actually a legume?

Fruit. It has a great big seed. This question seems to be asked at least once a week. It is the ripened ovary of a plant therefore fruit. A darn good tasting one at that.

They are classed as a fruit. Hence, one of it's other names - alligator pear. Just like a tomato is a fruit.
Nectarines, peaches apricots and the like have large stones as well.
Have a great day/night!

Fruits, due to that huge seed in them!
All fruits have seeds, and that's a fact!

It has a seed... so its a fruit...
Veggies don't have seeds...
So avacado, tomato, cucumber, etc.... are fruits... :)
