Fruits or Veggies?
It is obvious that for a healthy diet it is highly recommended to eat fruit and vegetables but is it the same thing? Of course not, but for some people it is a pretty obvious question since "fruits are sweet and vegetables are not", something that in many cases is true but not really at all ...
A fruit is defined as "the structure that contains the seeds of plants with flowers or angiosperms", while vegetables are "certain parts of plants that can be consumed by humans", for this reason we see that onions for example it don’t contain seeds. The latter can be:
• Flowers: Cauliflower, broccoli and artichoke.
• Roots: Carrot, radish and ginger.
• Tubercles: Potato, sweet potato, cassava and turnip.
• Leaves: Spinach, Swiss chard, cabbage, lettuce, cabbage and leek.
• Bulbs: Onion and garlic.
• Seeds: Beans, corn and peas.
However, it is already common knowledge that tomatoes and avocados are fruits, as well as eggplant, cucumber, chili, paprika, pumpkin, zucchini, among others.
So… Eat fruits and veggies. Thanks for reading. Regards!
Es obvio que para una dieta saludable es muy recomendado comer frutas y hortalizas pero ¿Son la misma cosa? Pues claro que no, pero para algunas personas es una pregunta bastante obvia ya que “las frutas son dulces y las hortalizas no”, algo que en muchos casos es cierto pero realmente no del todo…
Una fruta se define como “la estructura que contiene las semillas de las plantas con flores o angiospermas”, mientras que las hortalizas son “ciertas partes de las plantas que pueden ser consumidas por los humanos”, por esta razón vemos que las cebollas por ejemplo no contienen semillas. Estas últimas pueden ser:
• Flores: Coliflor, brócoli y alcachofa.
• Raices: Zanahoria, rabano y jengibre.
• Tuberculos: Papa, batata, yuca y nabo.
• Hojas: Espinaca, acelga, repollo, lechuga, col y puerro.
• Bulbos: Cebolla y ajo.
• Semillas: Frijoles, maíz y guisantes.
Sin embargo ya es de conocimiento general que el tomate y el aguacate son frutas, al igual que la berenjena, el pepino, el chile, el pimentón, la calabaza, el calabacín, entre otras.
Así que… Coman frutas y hortalizas. Gracias por leer. Saludos!
