If you ask a cook, a fruit is an edible part of plant that is usually sweet and sometimes sour. Lemons, apples, strawberries ― these are all considered fruits by almost everyone. But if you ask a botanist, a fruit is defined as “an organ that contains seeds, protecting them as they develop and often aiding in their dispersal.†Biologically speaking, the fruit is a part of the plant that is vital for its survival. Its very purpose is to help the plant spread its seed, and its sweetness attracts animals who eat it the fruit (and seed) and excrete it out in another location. That’s why tomatoes are technically fruit, even though we treat them like vegetables in our kitchens. And it’s why what we refer to as grains and nuts are botanically classified as fruits, too.

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad.
Philosophy is wondering if that makes ketchup a smoothie.
Common sense is knowing that ketchup isn't a -blam!-ing smoothie.
