Just FYI: This whole thing about whether or not something is a fruit or a vegetable isn't what it seems!. Botanists do not classify anything as a vegetable!. This is because the word "vegetable" is not part of their nomenclature!. The term "vegetable" is generic and is used by chefs to classify certain foods!. The term "fruit", as used by a botanist, has a very precise, definite, scientific meaning!. This term also includes some "fruits" that aren't edible!.

Rhubarb is a vegetable, according to a chef or any lay person!. Who cares how a botanist defines it! I'm not a scientist, but I love rhubarb pie!Www@FoodAQ@Com

It is a vegetable!. Most people consider it to be a fruit, because it is usually served sweetened or is part of a dessert recipe!. Rhubarb is related to celery; it looks like reddish-pink celery when it's grown!.
I am not sure which descriptive "botanical" terms to use here, but I read something about the way it has it's seeds inside it, and the way it grows that differentiates it from the fruit category!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Rhubarb is often commonly mistaken to be a fruit but rhubarb is actually a close relative of garden sorrel, and is therefore a member of the vegetable family!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It is a vegetable!. Fruits contain seeds!.

Even though the US Supreme court ruled the tomato to be a veggie (in a really ridiculous use of out tax dollars lol) it is technically a fruit because it contains seeds!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
