How do you tell if something is a fruit or vegetable?

1. Location of the seeds: Fruits have seeds on the inside, while vegetables have seeds on the outside. Examples include apples (fruit) and pumpkins (vegetable).

2. Taste: Fruits are usually sweet, while vegetables are usually savory. There are exceptions to this rule, such as sweet potatoes (vegetable) and sour cherries (fruit).

3. Function: Fruits are the reproductive part of the plant, while vegetables are the edible parts of the plant, such as leaves, roots, and stems. Tomatoes are actually fruits, but because they are used in savory dishes, they are often considered vegetables.
