1. Foods belonging to the fruit and vegetable group

Any fruit or 100% juice is considered part of the fruit group. Fruit can be dried, canned, fresh, frozen, and can be left whole or chopped or pureed.
Some foods considered by botanists to be fruits are part of the vegetable group. For example, tomatoes, avocados, eggplants, cucumbers, green peppers, zucchini, and others are classified as fruits by botanists because they are the fleshy part of the plant that surrounds its seed. However, for nutritional and culinary purposes, these foods are considered vegetables rather than fruits. The nutritional classification of foods not only considers the botany, but also considers the nutrient content of the food, the way it is used in the meal, and the taste.
