Whatever it is, it is technically a fruit as far as diet is concerned.

Ignore what the grocery stores tell you- fruits are the parts of the plants made from the flowers and/or ovaries and contain seeds, even if it is only one seed. This is definitely a fruit- as are squash, cucumbers, peppers, pumpkins, zuchinni, tomatoes, beans, peas, peanuts, grains, nuts, corn, eggplant, and berries. (Some reliable sources do not count things like grains, corn, nuts, etc. as true fruits, instead calling them 'seeds').

This leaning moment brought to you by the letter L and the number 3.

I don't like the number 3

I hear number 3 can be quite intimidating.
