What Is the Difference Between Fruits and Vegetables?
Typical examples of fruits include apples and oranges. When it comes to vegetables, carrots and potatoes are obvious choices. But what about tomatoes? It depends on whether you¡¯re asking a botanist or a chef. For a scientist, fruits develop from the flower of a plant and contain seeds. Vegetables come from the rest of the plant ? the roots, stems, and leaves. For a chef, the difference generally comes down to taste ? fruits are sweet or tart, while vegetables are mild or savory.
