What I’m trying to express is that savory fruits are better treated as vegetables than fruits from a nutritional and culinary perspective which is good, since there is no such thing botanically as a vegetable. It’s similar to how usually roots are vegetables but some like potatoes and yams are better treated as more similar to grains in a nutritional perspective due to their high starch content. We’re also currently moving from treating mushrooms as vegetables to more like meats or nuts due to their primary macronutrient being protein and their flavor profile being umami. The same is happening with beans.
