Botanically, fruits are the mature ovary of a flower and contain seeds, like tomatoes and cucumbers. Vegetables cover other plant parts, such as roots, leaves, and stems, like carrots and spinach. How do you usually distinguish between fruits and vegetables in your daily life? Have there been surprises in what's classified as a fruit or vegetable?
