When you ask whether or not it's a fruit or vegetable, you're asking a culinary question because the term "vegetable" is a culinary term so in that respect, pumpkins are vegetables because they are used in savory cooking.

Botanically speaking, pumpkins are fruits because they contain seeds. A fruit is actually one of the ovaries of a tree.

"Vegetable" is not a scientific term used in botany, so it doesn't really make any sense when people say "pumpkins are fruits not vegetables". Are they trying to say scientifically, pumpkins are fruits not vegetables (when "vegetable" is a culinary term) or the same thing in a culinary sense?

Unless you consider pumpkins a sweet fruit that can be eaten raw as opposed to a vegetable used in savory cooking, pumpkins are vegetables.

But one thing's for sure: scientifically, pumpkins are fruits because there is no such thing as a "vegetable" in botany.

Vegetable

It is the enlarged ovary of a plant, therefore it is a fruit.

obviously a fruit.
Giant fruit... but a fruit.
Just like the tomato is a giant berry... but a berry...

Fruit
