Vegetables aren’t real. They made up the classification just to sell things that aren’t fruits.
Big Celery just trying to legitimize crunchy water
Same with nuts. Botanically, not a thing.
johnny is human tho
Fruit has a botanical and a culinary definition.
Vegetable only has a culinary definition.
Trying to decide on what food fits which category purely on the botanical definition of fruit is silly. In many other languages, the botanical and culinary definition even use completely different words. It’s like saying lobster is red meat using a scientific definition of red.
But if we are having fun with this, rhubarb: definitely no fruit, but far too sweet, too often consumed raw or minimally processed, and far too at home in a yoghurt to fit nicely into the group vegetable.
Rhubarb’s just sour celery

Oh boy, another reason to hate rhubarb.
Also, you want a sweet vegetable? Sugar beet.
raw unprocessed sugar cane is delicious
Well vegetable used to be used sometimes to mean “plant”.
Most people don’t really understand how words work.
Vegetation. It’s right there in the root lol you’re 100% correct with people not getting how words work
Having both definition of the same word that can be confused with each other is also silly, the culinary definition should find a new word.
Fucking
Fucking
VEGETABLES DO NOT EXIST
I have a simple flowchart to determine what is or isn’t a veggie:
> Can I eat it? -> Yes -> Does it come from an animal? -> No = Vegetable
Sand has a lot of minerals in it. Probably the healthiest veggie of them all!
I mostly agree, but there’s a few holes in that flowchart:
My favorite vegetables are salt and ice.
Rocks are vegetables nodnod
That’s why they call you the bread man.
Gushers are vegetables, got it.
Behold a vegetable
I also add: Does it taste good?
I do this because of cranberries. I do not eat anything that you can make candles or soap from…
Mushrooms are detachable fungal penises that jizz into the wind.
What an inspiration to us all
That’s cool. I like that I’m sucking off cooked rudimentary peni.
As you should.
It’s the difference between the culinary use of the word and the biological use of the word. I thought we already figured that out?
The thing is too that mushrooms don’t even cook like vegetables or even like a protein or anything. So not only are they not botanically vegetables, they aren’t even culinarily vegetables either.
Also if you don’t like mushrooms because of the texture, you’re probably cooking your mushrooms wrong.
The fucking mushrooms.
First of all, cucumbers get the same flack, and those are actually green.
I had always learned if it has seeds (in nature) then it was a fruit, otherwise it was a vegetable or something else
fucking fucking
vegetable fruit discourse is fucking stupid. just call’em edibles if we’re not getting into the scientifically proven specifics.
