Fruit and vegetable classification can be a very confusing topic! But most people don't realize that there are two different ways to classify fruits and vegetables: by their physical make-up (the
botanical classification) and their use in the kitchen (culinary
classification). Understanding this will help you understand what
people deem as a fruit and as a vegetable!
On our site, we have decided to classify produce according to the
culinary classification. Not only is this the place that you will find
the produce in our stores, but it coincides with the recipes that
you'll use! We've gone into more detail about fruit and
vegetable classification, so you'll never have to wonder again! Click the links below to find out more about classifying produce:

botanical system, but a vegetable in the kitchen.
