If everyone wants to get really technical, it's a fruit vegitable. *yes there is that classification* It's concidered a vegitable because of it's low sugar content but is under the fruit subcategory of vegitable because of the seeds. Other vegitables that fall under this category are avocados and eggplants.
and yes, I did do my research on this one!!!! |

Weird to think that cucumbers are technically classified as fruits, too. Poor cucumbers, tomatoes are getting all the fame. When you ask if something's a fruit or a vegetable you're using terms that apply to way different things. If you're asking how it's grown and how it's cooked then I'd say that it's both. |
