What is a vegetable that people think fruit?

The classic example of a vegetable people often mistake for fruit is the tomato.

Here's why:

* Botanically: Tomatoes are technically fruits because they develop from the flower of a plant and contain seeds.

* Culinary: Tomatoes are usually used in savory dishes, leading people to consider them vegetables.

Other vegetables that might be misconstrued as fruits include:

* Avocado: Technically a fruit (it has a single seed and develops from a flower), but often used as a savory ingredient.

* Cucumber: A fruit, but primarily used in salads and sandwiches, leading to its perception as a vegetable.

* Zucchini: A fruit, but commonly used in savory dishes like pasta and stir-fries.

The key takeaway is that the distinction between fruits and vegetables can be more about how we use them in our food than their botanical classification.
