Eggplant: Fruity or Veggie

Visper
By Visper

my lil cousin showed me his drawing of veggies, i saw eggplant on it. i told him eggplant is a fruit then he stared at me and said " go back in grade one". Ages ago i heard at my prof. it is a fruit. Now i need a second the motion because i don't want to go back to grade one. Fruit, right?

Scientifically speaking : The ones that have seeds inside are fruits whereas the ones with no seeds are veggies.

It is often confused that tomatos and cucumber are veggies or fuits.

one of the criteria for being categorized as a fruit is that they have seeds in them...

Eggplant is a fruit from the plant but consumed as a veggie. I hope I am correct:-)
