Is broccoli a fruit or vegatable?

Here's why:

* Botanical Definition: Botanically, a fruit is the mature ovary of a flowering plant, containing seeds. Vegetables are other parts of the plant, such as roots, stems, leaves, or buds.

* Broccoli's Structure: Broccoli is the edible flower bud of the plant. It doesn't contain seeds.

So while we might enjoy broccoli with our meals like we do fruit, it's classified as a vegetable based on its botanical origins.
