How did certain types of berries like cucumbers and eggplants become classified as vegetables instead of fruits?
In: 3
Because colloquially, berries are bright, often sweet, juicy, small and roundish things. While vegetables are larger, more bland and more solid than berries. You don’t really think about origins of species and what is more related to each other when you are a peasant (or a gatherer) trying to decide what you can eat today.
