Is cucumber fruit or vegetables?

Difference between fruit and vegetables

There are many myths around fruits and vegetables, but perhaps one of the most curious is the confusion that exists among each other. These confusion arise by beliefs, by historical facts or even for the uses given to food. However, in the scientific field of botany, there are differences between fruits and vegetables, since both have very defined characteristics. Of course, after you know what they are, confusing will be a little more difficult, at least in most cases. Fruits and vegetables are different parts of a plant. On the one hand, the fruits or fruits are the ovaries of the plant, as they contain the seeds of the same, as well as have peels and pulps. On the other hand, vegetables are the rest of the plant (seeds, tubers, roots, stems, leaves, bulbs and flowers). There are certain exceptions to these rules, on which we will deepen in an upcoming opportunity.
