Botanically everything that comes off a plant that you can eat is a fruit, the distinction of fruits and vegetables is purely a culinary thing.

Kale is a leaf, different from a fruit as it’s not something the plant produces from a flower, but the plant body itself.

Yes indeed, which is why your comment confused me:

Botanically everything that comes off a plant that you can eat is a fruit

*In culinary terms, it is botanically a fruit.

Leaves don’t come off the plant, they are the plant, fruits come off of the plant.
