Is cauliflower a vegetable or fruit?

Here's why:

* Botanical Definition: Botanically speaking, vegetables are the edible parts of plants that are not fruits. Fruits are the mature ovaries of flowering plants containing seeds.

* Cauliflower's Structure: Cauliflower is the undeveloped flower bud of the plant. It does not contain seeds or a mature ovary.

So, while it might taste like a vegetable, cauliflower is a vegetable based on its botanical definition.
