Fruits vs Vegetables

Fruits and vegetables are often grouped as a culinary category

but are distinct in many ways. In fact, many of the vegetables you’ve
grown up eating are likely fruits. Seriously, they are both produce,
and they both contain various types of nutrients, vitamins, and
minerals. Fruit is the mature ovary of a seed plant, usually
developed from a flower. Fruits have seeds so they further the
reproductive cycle. A vegetable is a plant or part of an edible plant
that does not necessarily have a role in the plant's reproductive
cycles.

Moreover, fruits contain seeds on the inside or outside while

vegetables do not. In regard to taste, fruits are mostly sweet,
sometimes tart, with bitter seeds while vegetables are not sweet or
very subtly sweet. While each vegetable is distinct in taste, hardly
any vegetable can be classified as sweet, sour, salty, or bitter. In
addition, both are low in fat and calories and high in fiber.
