TRUTH !!
This is a very simple one: the parts of fruit plants that we eat have seeds,
while what we call vegetables do not. There are many fruits that are eaten
like vegetables (e.g. tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant) but botanically they
are technically fruits due to the presence of seeds within their edible
components. Fruits are also generally characterized by a sweet taste, while
vegetables often have neutral tastes to them.

Bananas seem to be the exception to the fruit vegetable rule.




"Yes, bananas have seeds because they are seed plants. Now you've all eaten bananas and you probably did not find any seeds; nothing to eat around as in a watermelon. All varieties of standard banana cultivars are sterile; the fruit develop and mature, but the seeds don't."




·cultivar

  1. a plant variety that has been produced in cultivation by selective breeding.
