Are cucumbers šŸ„’ a #vegetable or a #fruit?


•

To be a fruit šŸ‰ šŸŽ the food must have seeds. So technically, a #cucumber is a fruit. šŸ†’

•

The same is true for a tomato šŸ…, #pumpkin šŸŽƒ, green beans, etc.

•

So what the heck are vegetablesā“The other parts of plants!

Leaves - 🄬

Stems - celery

Roots - šŸ„” or beets

Flowers - 🄦
