Is Carrot A Fruit Or Vegetable ?

Carrot is a type of;
FRUIT.
Why?
In early European economic society, has long stated that carrot is really a fruit.
The parts of the fruits that was eaten was actually NOT the roots.
Vegetables usually have green or other coloured leaves, inedible roots(some),
while fruits have mostly edible parts in the fruit itself.
In comparison, fruits are more liked by people as they like the bright flesh rather than
dull, green and ugly-looking leaves or other parts of vegetables.
Fruit juices have obvious differences than of a vegetable juice.
Fruit juices are bright, attractive, good-smelling.
Vegetable juices are dull, look 'disgusting', and still, ugly.
And so
carrot juice is BRIGHT in the colour Orange-Red,
and it sure belongs in the FRUIT family.
Hence,
I hereby conclude that,
a CARROT,
is a kind of FRUIT.

The carrot is a root vegetable, usually orange, purple, red, white, or yellow in colour, with a crisp texture when fresh. The edible part of a carrot is a taproot. It is a domesticated form of the wild carrot Daucus carota, native to Europe and southwestern Asia.

Science Centre Trip!!!!

The science centre trip was exciting, fun and interesting! I had a lot of fun there and had gained many knowledge about cells and bacterias. I learnt that some bacterias in the body are harmful while some are good.The names of the cells and bacterias are also very weird too!!!The people there were very kind and gave us a pink booklet about many different facts. All of us made a DNA structure and we had ice-cream sticks and a thing that joins them together! It is extremely difficult for us to push the ice-cream sticks together!A woman who teach us told us that sugar was found at the side of the DNA ! I love this excursion and hoped my classmates enjoyed themselves too!!!:)

Is carrot a fruit???

In the European Union Jam Directive, written in the 80s, which describes the parameters required for a product to be labelled as jam or marmalade and from which the UK Jam and Similar Products legislation is based, there is the phrase "for the purposes of this directive, tomatoes, the edible part of rhubarb stalks, carrots, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins, melons and water melons are considered to be fruit". This was introduced to pacify the Portuguese who are strongly into Carrot Marmalade!
Of course carrots are not biologically a fruit as they do not carry the seeds, and the above paragraph in the jam directive does not reclassify them as such, just allows them to be used as fruit.
Duerrs, the famous British Jam maker does not use any carrots in their products, although many years ago they did try carrot jam and tomato jam. It is recalled that this was to try out what the products would taste like due to the above mentioned in the jam directive. The unanimous conclusion at the time was that tomato jam was actually very nice but carrot jam was awful! Try this Carrot Jam Recipe.
Marmalade is a curiously British term, marmalade means a jam made with citrus fruit. The term was fought over in the European Community as other countries wanted to do away with it or change its meaning. Marmalade contains citrus fruit (sometimes with something else like ginger or ) and is usually characterised by the cut of the peel. Marmalade is thought to have originated in Portugal, where quinces (marmelo) were cooked with sugar to make a preserve. The British were the first to add the peel back to orange marmalade, to make the preserve set instead of using apple juice, hence the British tradition of orange marmalade.
Carrot is definitely a vegetable. Though vegetable is strictly a culinary term, and open to mis-interpretation. Carrot Marmalade Recipe here.

The Wikpediea gives a good definition here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetable

Normally a vegetable is a part of a plant which is edible (usually grown to be eaten) and does not contain the seeds, or is not formed from the flower.

For example an apple tree flowers, the flower then turns into the actual apple, which in turn contains seeds. Same with a banana, plum etc. Hence a tomato is a fruit.

A vegetable like the carrot, flowers and produces seeds externally, usually in the form of a seed bud from the flower.

Carrot is biennial, flowering in the second year, above ground.

Is the carrot a fruit?

The carrot is a root vegetable and not a fruit. The carrot has a thick, fleshy, deeply colored root, which grows underground, and feathery green leaves that emerge above ground. Carrots are an excellent source of antioxidant compounds, and the richest vegetable source of the pro-vitamin A carotenes. The part that we eat is the taproot.
