Right from childhood we are taught which are fruits and which are vegetables. But do you know that what you are eating considering it to be a vegetable is actually a fruit. Tomato, capsicum, brinjal, pumpkin, bitter gourd and lady's finger, which you think of as vegetables, are actually fruits.

Tomato

If you think that tomato is a vegetable then it is wrong. According to the information, tomato is a fruit. This is because tomatoes have flowers with seeds, which means they go through the process of flowering to become fruits.

Capsicum

Capsicum comes in many colors like red, yellow and green. Even if you include it in dishes like vegetables, pickles, salads. But it is a fruit. Capsicum peppers also usually contain seeds and grow from the plant's flowers.

Eggplant

Eggplant is used as a vegetable in cuisines around the world. But since it contains seeds and grows from the plant's flower, the eggplant is actually a fruit.

Pumpkin

Pumpkin is another fruit which people consider a vegetable. Pumpkin is included in soups, pies and curries, although it is considered a fruit due to it being a seed and developing from the flowering part of the plant.

bitter gourd

Bitter gourd is actually a fruit. Because it grows from the flower of a plant and contains seeds.

okra

Okra is the favorite vegetable of many people, but still people do not know that it is actually a fruit. Because they grow from flowers on plants and contain seeds.
