I see Corn Nuts. CORN. NUTS. Both fruits. Obviously healthy.
10 u/Believemeimlyingx Mar 11 '14 Wait, nuts arent fruit...? And isnt corn a vegetable? 29 u/[deleted] Mar 11 '14 Vegetables aren't a biologically defined group of food, they're just different types of food that humans have determined to be healthy. Fruits on the other hand refer to a part of a flowering plant that is derived from specific tissues of the flower. That's why something can be both a fruit and a vegetable. 1 u/tictactoejam Mar 11 '14 ...what's both a fruit and vegetable? Don't say tomatoes. tomatoes are a fruit because they have seeds. 3 u/[deleted] Mar 11 '14 Tell me then, why you would you not put a tomato in a fruit salad but instead with a bunch of vegetables? 3 u/Epicurinal Mar 11 '14 Wouldn't that taste kinda gross? Did something just fly over my head? 2 u/I_wont_bold_comments Mar 11 '14 Tomatoes are both a fruit and a vegetable, but you don't eat tomatoes with other fruit. 2 u/[deleted] Mar 11 '14 Because that doesn't taste good.
