who knew?

wow... eggplant is a fruit...specifically a berry.

i would never have guessed that.

 

wow i guess u really do learn somethin new everyday

 

all 'vegetables' that have seeds are technically fruits

 

but are all fruits berries?

 

What about a coconut?

 

no but all berries are fruits

 

Squash and pumpkins are also fruits, as are tomatoes and green peppers.

 

I would assume then that all peppers are fruits, not just the green ones

 

Yeah. I don't know why I said green peppers.

 

I didn't

 

i would never have guessed that peppers are fruits either....so, are they still consider veggies?

 

It looks like a potato

 

and tastes like a tomato.

 

because they don't have the sweet property that we commonly associatte with fruit.

 

Aren't they.....nuts?

 

HAHA lace and feet.

 

Coconuts are fruit.

 

I learned that in Botany this last semester during the fruit section of angiosperms. Many things are fruits that people would never suspect. And all the fruits that people call 'berries' like rasberries, blackberries, ect... are not in fact berries at all.

 

And Emily is right, coconuts are a fruit.... a simple dry fruit to be exact

 

Yay for me. Christine what are raspberries, etc then. I love angiosperms!!!!!
