A fruit is technically something with seeds within and where the flesh of the fruit is actually food for the seeds as they mature into plants.\n\nVegetables, technically, are the stuff with leaves.\n\nStuff that grow in the ground are mostly tubers and roots. Like potatoes and yams and sweet potatoes.\n\nHowever, some fruits and tubers have been classified as vegetables for import/export purposes. Like okra (ladies finger) and eggplant and tomato.

Vegetable-In this case, a leafy green vegetable. Examples would be any species of lettuce, cabbage, kale, spinach, turnip greens, brussel sprouts..

Only plant foods like fruits, vegetables and other fruit--nuts, seeds and beans have fiber. Animal foods have no fiber. Also more people than ever take vitamin/mineral supplements but Americans are sicker than ever.\n\nThe real health benefits are in the thousands of phytochemicals (phyto means plant) in them like lycopene and the anti-oxidants in tea. Also 5,000 studies have shown that fruit and vegetables prevent cancer. But to see the real healing power of them uncooked, see the first testimonial on this webpage below. It is totally awesome. Great question!

You can put fruit into a vegetable salad, such as mandarin oranges or pineapple or apple.  This is quite common.\n\n(Of course, botanically a tomato is a fruit, so any salad with tomato has fruit in it . . .)  :o)\n\nA fun salad that I have made has spinach leaves, chopped boiled egg, mandarin oranges, water chestnuts, chow mein noodles [uncooked] and french/california dressing.

That depends on the juices you choose to drink. Vegetable and fruit juices are very good for you and can provide the nutrients that most foods do. You will lose weight and be healthy.

Farming relates directly to growing and producing things from seeds.  Think of corn, tomatoes, flowers, etc.\n\nManufacturing relates to putting these farming products together to make something.  For example you could take tomatoes and wheat to make Spagetti-O's.  Often people think of canned goods or inedible objects.  For example, you would manufacture a car, not farm one.\n\nHope this helps!

Plants that we can consume as food.  Most plants are made up of roots, stems, leaves, flowers, buds and produce fruits containing seeds. We most commonly eat the fruit (i.e., tomato and apple), leaves (i.e., lettuce and spinach), or roots (i.e., carrots and beets), but we also eat the stems of many plants.

Organic- grown completely naturally with no chemicals and NOT genetically modified..\n\nInorganic is the opposite...and they are genetically modified hence the large size and availability of certain fruits and veggies all year round and cheaper price. (easier to grow- and faster) \n\nAlthough it hasn't been proven that inorganic foods are detrimental to your health, it is still unknown because it is a relatively new development and often with such things you don't know the effects until later into the future.. \n Some people [health nuts] believe we'll get illnesses and diseased from GM foods...\n\nI would assume organic foods are better for your health only b/c anything completely natural runs less risk w/ health issues

It is always better to eat the veggie or fruit whole rather than the juice. The glucose enters the blood stream slower and you get the fiber which is one of the most important nutritional factors of food.\n\nJuice is fine occationally but it should never be a substatute for the whole food.

You are confusing a number of concepts.  First of all, most fruits are made up mostly of carbs - Foods in general have 3 main components - carbs, fat and protein.  carbs can be broken into different groups such as simple or complex.  1 gram of carbs contains 4 calories, 1 gram of protein contains 4 calories and 1 gram of fat contains 9 calories.   Eating more calories than you burn - no matter whether they are from carbs, fat or protein will cause you to gain weight.

In Botany like any other science a number of things are well defined and there is no room for uncertainty or ambiguity.\nBanana fruit is a berry as it satisfies the basic conditions laid down for such a fruit.\n 1)It is an indehiscent fruit- Indehiscent fruit is the one that does not break open automatically when it is ripe.It may rot away but will not split open.(Banana,Tomato, Grapes)\n 2) It is a fleshy fruit - All berries have to be fleshy, juicy or soft and pulpy.( All the three mentioned above.)\n 3)It has no stony endocarp- This is a bit difficult to understand, still I will try.\n   A fruit has a wall within which the seeds are located.This wall has a botanical term PERICARP; (peri=around; Carp=fruit).\n In many cases, this PERICARP is further distinguished it to three layers, namely EPICARP(the outer most layer or the skin of the fruit.EPI= outermost) , MESOCARP(the middle layer;MESO=middle.), ENDOCARP(the inner most layer, ENDO= inner most.)\nIn Banana , the 'Peeling' is the epicarp.The edible fleshy part is the Meso- and Endocarp together(It is all pulpy) in which the tiny non functional brownish seeds lie embedded.\nAs the seeds are almost non existent it is a seed less berry.Grape is also a seed less berry. Tomato is a many seeded berry; the epicarp or the skin of which is often removed by blanching.

Fruits are classified according to various morphological and functional characteristics. \nBasically fruits are either dry (i.e. sunflower or acorn) or fleshy. \nAmong the fleshy fruit types, the berries are those fleshy fruits without a stony layer, and with one to many seeds. In the case of the banana fruits, they are a special type of berry because they're parthenogenetic (=develop without male fertilization) and thus seedless.

first you need to ask yourself...why do you not like fruits or vegetables...\nThere are not any that you like?...maybe you haven't found the ones you do or would like?\nI would talk to a doctor or nutritionist to get further ideas on what you should eat, if you absolutely do not like anything...because you need vegetables and fruits in your diet in order to be healthy, not just fit...

5 words- THEY ARE GOOD FOR YOU.\n\nWhy? I can just look it up on the wikipedia anyway.\n\nImportance of vegetables in the diet\nVegetables are eaten in a variety of ways as part of main meals and as snacks. The nutrient content of different types varies considerably. With the exception of pulses, vegetables provide little protein and fat. Vegetables contain water soluble vitamins like vitamin B and vitamin C, fat soluble vitamins including vitamin A and vitamin D, and also contain carbohydrates and minerals.

Botanically speaking, the tomato is a fruit and is classified as a berry. It is a fruit because it is a ripened mature ovary containing seed. One can confirm this by looking up both "fruit" and "tomato" in a dictionary. (No not the definition of old slang that says a "tomato" is an attractive woman). Things like peppers, eggplants and cucumbers are also fruits by this definition.\n\nHorticulturally speaking it is defined as a vegetable for two other reasons:\n1- it is a nonwoody annual (ok, what I want to know then why dont they say watermelons are vegetables?)\n2- it was classified this way in 1893 by the Supreme Court for trade reasons (imposing import taxes to protect growers)
