Ok, good point.

I'll try again.

Fruits are flowers that turn to fruit. Veg just grows.

I think.

You certainly know your fruit!

Is this rock and roll being awake and chatting fruit and veg at 12.30 on a Friday night??

The difference between fruit and vegetables is (I think) that with fruit, seed is set inside of the fruit (like an apple, orange, grapefruit, etc). the strawberry might appear to have seed on the outside, but really that seed is encased in the flesh. With vegetables, seed is set on the outside, usually in pods, although vegetables are usually harvested before the plant goes to seed.

Therefore, aubergine, sweet peppers and tomatoes are fruits, although we treat them like vegetables.

I knew you'd get all technical.
