How can you tell the difference between a fruit and a vegetable?!
Answers:
smart question !
strawberries don't grow on trees or vines, and they're not vegetables
Peas are seeds!.!.!.so much for that stupid rule about vegetables not having seeds
squash and cucumbers have seeds, and they're not fruits
bananas have no seeds and they're not vegetables
My general thinking is that fruits are usually sweet (or sweet and sour);
and vegetables are usually earthy or bland or savoury
You could consider tomato as a vegetable, though some point it out as a fruit for some freaky reason, I don't know why!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Fruit is a general term for all that has seeds in them!. Bananas have seeds so it is a fruit!. However, bitter gourd (ampalaya) is considered a vegetable and it has seeds!.
Tomatoes are genrally considered fruit but when we use them for cooking and mix it with vegetables, that's the time we consider it a vegetable!. Not to mention, tomatoes grow from shrubs and not trees!. So I think it depends on the purpose that you would consider something a fruit or vegetable!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

A fruit is the ripe ovary or ovaries of a flower—the mature ovary of a seed-bearing plant!. Let’s say you’ve got a tomato plant with those little yellow flowers all ready!. A bee comes along and fertilizes the flower!. The flower starts developing into a fruit with the seed inside!. (There are four kinds of fruits, which explains fruits such as pineapple and blueberries, but let's not get into that!.) And, hey, guess what!? Nuts are fruits!. True nuts that is, chestnut and filberts come to mind!.
Vegetables, however, are the roots (eg, carrot), tubers (eg, potato), leaves (eg spinach), stems (eg, celery), and other bits of plants that you might eat!. For a botanist, a vegetable is sort of like the umbrella word for all the edible parts of a plant!. Just to keep life interesting, mushrooms aren’t plants at all, they are a kind of fungus!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
