Yeah, if I remember correctly, it's something along the lines of "if you eat the part with the seeds in it, it's a fruit." Probably not universally true, but still.Marter said:
Also, PEPPERS N' GARLIC! I think they're fruit or something silly like that, but spicy things make everything taste better! Also garlic alone isn't half bad. A bit strong, though.
The term "vegetable" is meaningless from a biological standpoint, there is no part of plant one calls "the vegetable." It's obvious when talking about vegetables one is asking for what's considered a vegetable from a culinary perspective. You can go on to shoot any suggestion down because nothing is technically a vegetable, it's a construct to separate the sweet parts of plants from the unsweet ones.
Iceberg lettuce is nutritionally void, romaine or baby spinach are better choices. Watercress is as well. My mom enjoys fennel, but unless you like other anise plants or licorice I would avoid it. Artichokes are yummy. I generally tend to stick with tubers and root vegetables: yams, potatoes, onions and the like.

Carrots they're one of the few vegetables I can eat without fealing sick... Mainly as cucumber are fruit.
Beets are the greatest vegatable ever made and try some heritage varity veggies, they have all of these weird vegatables like rainbow carrots and stuff, but there really good in some olive oil
Oh and you need to get them from a farm share or farmers market cause supermarkets only stock their selves with the finest variety of food that was made on a factory with chemicals hormones, pesticides, antibiotics and all that good stuff.
Note: before you point it out, yes I am well aware that plants can't take antibiotics, i was refering to everything in the supermarkets in general

Actually, vegetables are any edible part of the plant that isn't a seed or meant to carry a seed. So stalks (like asparagus), leaves (lettuce for instance), or roots (carrots) are all vegetables. Seeds like nuts and grains (corn for instance) aren't considered vegetables. And parts of the plant that carry seeds (everything from apples to squash) are fruits. This is the construction responsible for the infamous tomato being a fruit instead of a vegetable, and the fact that it's not taught is why there is so much confusion as to what is and is not a fruit. Nutritionally this is also important. Fruits are often high in sugars and other things to make them taste good so that animals will eat them. Seeds are very high in caloric content because they are meant to provide nutrients to a newly germinated plant. Vegetables on the other hand are the part we should be eating the most of, because while the other parts contain more nutrients, the truth is that most Westerners actually have far too many nutrients in their diets. What makes vegetables so valuable is that they provide enough nutrients, but are also high enough in fiber that they make us feel full without being fattening.Dags90 said:
Boiled and steamed carrots are the best yum yum yum!
Cucumbers are also delicious. I live eating green beans and boiled corn on the cob.
Broccili is so yum!
