Fruit or vegetable?

[George_2]

I didn't actually realise that a lot of foods commonly thought of as vegetables actually turn out to be fruits.

For example,

Pumpkin
Squash
Cu***bers
Green beans
Capsi*** peppers
Bell peppers
Tomato (knew this was already)

I had no idea these were actually fruits! I can't find any others but post if you know any!

Hi George_2

I didnt know this! I thought it was just tomatoe and avocados! That is a shock! So dr young needs to change his list of alkaline fruits then!

Validation!

Shows that many of these are fruits (Pumpkins for example are herbaceous annuals fruits), but that these are all actually listed as vegetables in the culinary sense.

Sounds like a grey area to me!

From an acid/alkaline perspective, we are mainly looking to minimise sugar. So avoid all high sugar fruits/vegetables and stick to the low sugar ones.

Basicaly, avoid all fruits except lemon, lime, g****fruit, avocado. Once you are fully balanced you can have a small amount. Avoid high sugar veg like carrot and beetroot, again until you are fully balanced.
