How can you tell the difference between a veggie and fruit?
A fruit is the mature ovary of a flowering plant. Vegetables though are any edible herbaceous plant part. Tomatoes, eggplants, sweet corn, cucumbers, squash, and peas are all fruits, and carrots, radishes, celery, and broccoli are all vegetables.

About Vegetables
The noun vegetable usually means an edible plant or part of a plant other than a sweet fruit or seed. However, the word is not scientific, and its meaning is largely based on culinary and cultural tradition. Therefore, the application of the word is somewhat arbitrary and subjective.
