So is zucchini.


One... okay, maybe two... questions:

Is a fruit of a vegetable a fruit or a vegetable? Both? ;-P


The fruit and the vegetable(s) are different parts of the plant.
Some plants have edible fruit and vegetable parts -- for instance,
the flower of a zucchini (courgette) is edible, and it's a
vegetable. The fruit is the long green thing most people think of
when they think of eating the plant.
