They also taste way better than store-bought ones.
Seriously. They barely taste like the same 'fruit'.
Also one of the easier garden vegetables (yes, vegetable, fight me) to plant. Great for beginners.
It's a fruit, you donut.
Serious question: do people on team fruit also call other “culinary vegetables” fruits, such as cucumbers, zucchini, corn, eggplants, bell peppers, green beans, etc.?
I’ve been told that beans are an especially magical fruit.
Especially if you know how to flick it
Flick it to stick it!
I don't mind calling all of those things fruit. It seems people get really weird about making savoury meals out of fruit. Like I know a tomato is a fruit, I put tomato on pizza, I never once while making pizza have a thought about whether a vegetable or a fruit is going on my pizza. It's just a tomato, it can swing both ways.
I prefer polysemy. There is a very useful category of “edible plants typically used in savory dishes”. Imagine someone being upset with you because you brought green beans when they asked for a side of vegetables.
I don’t see the point in taking the botanical definition of fruit and pretending it’s useful in the culinary world.
Depends on context? If I'm talking about the fruit on the plant, yes. If it's in my kitchen, no, that'd be silly 🙄
fruits are a vegetable
Not botanically or culinary, but don't let that get in the way of how you feel.
Fruiitt fruiittt
F u fruit
Fruits come from the flowering part of the plant and contain seeds, whereas vegetables are other parts of the plant (leaves, stems, roots, bulbs). They're fruit.
They say knowledge is knowing that tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.
Yes yes. Salsa, tomato based fruit salad, we know.
But that's not mutually exclusive with vegetables. Vegetable is not a botanical designation. Whether it's a vegetable or not depends on how it's typically used in cooking. Cucumbers, zuccini, and green beans all fall into the same category of being both.
And they stay fresh pretty much as long as you want them to.
