Scientifically speaking, fruits and vegetables are the same thing. http://www.funtrivia.com/askft/Question105994.html Sep 16 11, 4:04 AM

All fruit are considered vegetables but not all vegetables are considered fruit (Below ground growth, leaves, bark and inner pulp of the stem are not fruit) Fruit are the result of seed forming for the most part and are related to only the flower part of a plant. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_of_palm Sep 17 11, 2:03 PM
