Come October, Pumpkins take over. They’re pilled high up in all the supermarkets and outside front houses come Halloween! They’re baked into pies and pureed into soups. But unbeknownst to us our beloved Pumpkin isn’t a Vegetable it is in fact a Fruit!
The one thing that gives away the fact that its a fruit are the seeds we scoop out of it. Botanist define a fruit as the section of the plant that contains seeds.
Other vegetables that also fall under this category that are actually fruits are:
- Avocados – They may be green but they have a big seed in the middle of the fruit.
- Cucumber – They also have seeds throught out the fruit itself.
- Tomatoes – Are also a fruit containg seeds throughout.
- Peppers – Did you ever wonder why they tasted so sweet, that because they are actually a fruit
Did you just realise all you favourite vegetables are actually fruit? Explains a lot, doesn’t it?
At Fruitrunner, we take pride in delivering fruit that’s in season so you always receive the finest, freshest fruit, best for eating quality and flavour when you order from us!
