Tomatoes are also a fruit

To all those people who say they don't like fruit on their pizza.

Also pineapple on pizza is fantastic ... mi dispiace

Tomatoes are vegetables. If we're speaking botanically, then squash, pumpkins, cucumbers, peppers, eggplants, corn kernels, and bean are also fruit. US supreme court ruled that they're vegetables. EU declared tomatoes to be fruit for the purpose of making jam, though.

Wait wuh! Strawberries aren't berries? What is this heresy?

[-] mouserat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Strawberries are nuts by definition. I guess the definition is nuts, too.

Well, the little "seeds" on the outside are nuts by def. The red fleshy part is an accessory fruit.
