jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Asked google and verizon this question: Is avocado a fruit or a vegetable? Both gave different answers. First it's a fruit. Second it's a vegetable. What say you??? _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

Anne Holmes Boomer in Chief Registered: 03/12/10 Posts: 3212 Loc: Illinois	Hey Jabber, I don't know but here's what I think I recall from science classes in school. The avocado has a large pit in it, just like a peach, plum or other "stone fruit." So from that point of view, it is a fruit. But it's not juicy and sweet like a fruit -- and it's green -- so we tend to categorize it as a veggie. Now don't go asking me what a strawberry is, given that its seeds are on the outside... _________________________ Boomer in Chief of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com www.boomerlifestyle.com www.boomerco.com
