Botanically, which would be relevant if we were talking about science. From a culinary perspective, or a nutritional perspective they are vegetables. |
This. Both are berries specifically. |
Again, it's a berry botanically. In cooking and nutrition, plants are classified by their nutrients, and by how they are prepared, and cucumbers and avocados are vegetables. |
| I don't feed my kids a green veg every day. I bet they get 4 servings of green vegetables a week. They probably each eat about 2 cups of fruit per day, and 1/2 cup vegetables. As long as they are getting enough servings and variety of fresh stuff each day, I don't worry if it's a fruit or vegetable, or what color it is. Idk if that's right but it's what we can all manage. |
I think I sold it way too hard. My girls thought a meal was incomplete without a cooked green vegetable. They would mention that to me if they had lunch or dinner at someone else’s house. My younger DD would microwave a serving of broccoli or green beans if she came home from a play date and hadn’t had a green veggie. |
