Is a sweet pepper a fruit?!


Question: Technically yes -- to scientists or horticulturalists -- because it has seeds in it. Cucumbers and pumpkins and nuts are also fruits in that sense.

But as far as the kitchen's concerned, it's a vegetable.

I've heard of a bell pepper but not a sweet pepper,interesting.

yes fruit

Anything with seeds is a fruit. Tomato: fruit. Carrot: vegetable. Peach: fruit. Celery: vegetable. Peas: Legume. Different category.

lts a vegetable

Nope, Its a veggie. It grows from a vine-like plant. For a clearer rule of thumb, remember:
Fruits grow on trees, Veggies grow on "vines"
Nuts also grow on trees, but they're nof fruits, they're nuts, except peanuts, which aren't nuts at all but are growths from the ROOTS of the peanut plant. You have to dig them...

Back to the main subject...Fruits grow on trees...fruits grow on tr...

yes, anything with seeds is a fruit, ie; cuccumbers, peppers, ect.

Yes...It grows above ground and the pips are on the inside.

i think they might be because they have seeds in side, like the tomato, cucumber, pumpkin, banana (can only see them when the banana goes black), all classed as fruit.

if it has seeds its classed as a fruit

The sweet pepper is indeed a fruit.

No, it's a veg.

a sweet pepper is a vegetable not a fruit
