Description
On the other hand, the botanical sense of “fruit” includes many structures that are not commonly called “fruits”, such as bean pods, corn kernels, wheat grains, and tomatoes.
Don’t jump!
In common language usage, “fruit” normally means the fleshy seed-associated structures of a plant that are sweet or sour and edible in the raw state, such as apples, oranges, grapes, strawberries, bananas, and lemons.
These products may or may not maintain the nutritional integrity of the vegetable used to produce them.
On second thoughts, let’s not go there.
There’s nothing for me here now.
A number of processed food items available on the market contain vegetable ingredients and can be referred to as “vegetable derived” products.
Some vegetables can be consumed raw, while some, such as cassava, must be cooked to destroy certain natural toxins or microbes in order to be edible.
Don’t act so surprised, Your Highness.
