Scientifically speaking, a fruit is the part of a plant where seeds grow.

Foodishly speaking, fruits are sweet, tart, or spicy—and some of the most delicious things ever! Pop fresh berries into your mouth. Bake cherries or apples or peaches into pies and crisps. Blend a banana or mango into a smoothie, or squeeze lemons into zesty lemonade. Fruits can add flavor and beauty (and, yes, vitamins) to just about anything.

Mmm-mmm-mashed potatoes. A cool green salad. Crisp carrots and

corn on the cob and pumpkin pie. Like fruits, vegetables are also the

part of a plant that you eat, such as its leaves or roots. Depending on

how you make them, they’re crunchy or creamy, sweet tasting or sharp.

They’re a great source of vitamins and minerals. And they come in every

color of the rainbow, making a plate look delicious.
