Apples, oranges and pears are fruit. Broccoli, carrots and cauliflower are vegetables. Simple, right?
But it is not always that straight forward. For instance, not all of these items - mandarin, kiwifruit, fig persimmon and rhubarb - are fruit (and you'll have to read on if you want to know which one isn't).
There are also plenty of fruit that you count in your veg tally for the day. (Experts recommend you eat five serves of veg a day and two of fruit).
From a botanical perspective there is quite a clear definition of the difference between the two, says Pauline Ladiges, a professorial fellow at the University of Melbourne's school of botany.
Fruit, she says, are the ovaries of a seed-bearing plant that develop after fertilisation. Quite simply, if it has seeds it is a fruit.
