Cucumbers............?!


Question: Cucumbers!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!?
Would you consider cucumbers to be a fruit or a vegetable!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
anything that u get from plants that is used by the plant as a means of spreadin seeds is a fruit anything that is used by the plant for storage of excess nourishment is a vegetable!.

Though it technically is a fruit, cucumbers are widely considered vegetables!.
Much like tomatoes and squash, however, their sour-bitter flavor contributes to cucumbers being perceived, prepared and eaten as vegetables!. Still, "vegetable" is a purely culinary term, and there is no conflict in classifying cucumber as both a fruit and a vegetable!.

the word vegetable is not botanical!. its just used by cooks (and also by anybody who is not a botanist)!.

Good question! The general rule of thumb is that if it has seeds then it is a fruit and if has no seeds it is a vegetable!. So, by this rule a cumcumber is a fruit as is a tomato, in fact there are a lot of fruits that we consume as vegetables! Hope that helps
