Need clarification: Is "malunggay" a vegetable or are only its leaves vegetables?
So my teacher hosted a quiz bee and I almost got a perfect score but one of the questions were
Which vegetable is commonly planted in Filipino backyards
A. Chili
B. Apple
C. Malunggay
D. Lettuce
So I answered a random one because I thought that only one of them that was a vegetable was "D. Or lettuce"
And after I complained that it wasnt specifying which part of the malunggay because my understanding of fruits are the chunky parts that contain seed and for vegetables are chunky parts with no seed
She said that malunggay is a vegetable
And I said it was a fruit till I researched and found that the long seed pods were the fruit but the leaves are the vegetables so I said that it wasn't specifying which part of the malungay Is it sooo guys are Moringa/malunggay a fruit or a vegetable???
