That's what you think. I don't blame you for a second cause I thought the exact same thing. Try it out. Blend an apple in water and then blend a tomato in water. If you close your eyes and have a friend hand you one, you won't be able to tell which is which.
Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
Also, about the pasta sauce thing, many pasta sauces include apples among their ingredients. |

C'mon try it! It's true!
Do you also know that Dave's automatically replaces your password with asterisks if you write it in a post?

Also, A strawberry isn't a fruit. It goes under the classification of a pseudocarp - Basically because the seeds are on the outside, rather than the inside.
I made 1,000 won from a class of older kids I was teaching, by claiming Cucumber to be a fruit, not a vegetable. After asking permission from the K-staff. Then they had to wikipedia it and pay up. Suckers.
Also, a peanut isn't a nut, it's classed as a legume. The same class as peas and beans, I believe. |
