Tis the season for pumpkin everything. And also the burning question in everyone’s fall household… are they fruits or veggies?
Technically they are considered a FRUIT, which blew my mind. It’s apparently because they are the “edible reproductive body of a seed plant.” Vegetables are the other parts of a plant that don’t have seeds, like leaves, stems, roots, and flowers.
So there you have it. When you’re pumpkin picking this year you can tell you’re kids they are a fruit.
