Comment on Cucumbers taste like the white part of watermelons

  Vegetables don’t exist. It’s a culinary word which does not exist in botany. It describes an enormous umbrella of fruits, roots, leaves, stems, flowers, and seeds.

    Exactly. Botanically cucumbers are berries, just like bananas which makes much more sense.

    Fruit don’t exist. It is a botanical word describing seed bearing structures of flowering plants.

      What ? I’ve study botany and the term fruit is used extensively.

      A fruit is the heterozygotic offspring of the parent plant. A seed is the male zygote, with the female zygote being pollen. So “seed” oils are made from fruit, just like olive oil.

      A tuber (potato) or rhyzome (ginger) is a homozygotic offspring. A vegetable is a part of the plant that is not the offspring, like the leaves, stem or root.

  No. Technically, both watermelons and cucumbers are berries.
