What is the difference between a fruit and a vegetable?
Answers:
Fruits you can eat directly & Vegetables you have to cook but some vegetables like tomatos, you can take as a vegetable or fruit!
I'll eat the vegetable, not so with the fruit.
a fruit has seeds and a vegetable doesn't
Fruits have seeds and vegetables don't. Some people make the exception with regard to tomatoes,cucumbers, and peppers. Peppers are actually part of the berry family.
The difference is that fruits are fruits and vegetables are vegetables. They are two different botanical entities.
Just read the question as it was aked before:

Vegetables have seeds too of course; all plants have seeds, just depends on when you are looking at them; before or after the seeds have developed. Tomatoes are actually berries, not a fruit or vegetable. Yup, it's a huge berry originally found in S. America.
Botanically(plant biology), edible plants that contain seeds are fruits. Plants without seeds are vegetables. Edible plants that form flowers in some part of their life cycle are consider fruits. Normally, people would say a tomato is a vegetable. But botanically, a tomato is considered a fruit because it forms a flower in some part of plant cycle. And tomato has seeds. A cucumber is also considered a fruit for the same reasons listed for tomatoes. Yet, people consider a cucumber as a vegetable.
Now a lettuce is a real vegetable because it doesn't produce seeds and has not flower development. Other real vegetables are spinach, carrots, beets and cabbage.
I hope this helps.
fruit contains seed, vegetable don't
fruit is a juicy product of a tree,bush, shrub, or vine.
A veg table is a plant whose fruit seeds shoots or stems,leaves or roots are used for food.
fruits have seeds
All edible plants have seeds to reproduce. Fruits have the seed(s) in the edible part of the plant. Vegetable seeds appear on a separate part of the plant.
