The following are the some fruits and vegetable its benefit to our body according to scientists

10 Vegetables That Are Actually Fruits

1. Aubergine – 3% pretty much tied with olives, the uniquely colored aubergine was correctly identified as a fruit by 3% of those surveyed. It really does look like a vegetable though. Which brings us to the number 1 fruit most commonly mistaken for a vegetable and this one really shocked me. (Click next to find out!

2. Olives – 3% A staple of the healthy, Mediterranean diet, the olive is in fact a fruit. Only 3% of people got this one. Would you have got it right.

3. Butternut Squash – 4% Just 4% of those surveyed were able to correctly identify Butternut Squash as a vegetable and it’s easy to see why. No way would I have got this one!

4. Pepper – 9% when you want to add a little kick to your salad you add that well known vegetable pepper right? Wrong, you are actually adding a little known fruit! Yep, peppers are fruits and only 9% got this right.

5. Avocado – 12% just over one in ten people were able to correctly identify the avocado as a fruit. Avocados are a superfood, which contain healthy fats, loads of vitamins and have even been found to help prevent certain types of cancer.

6. Cucumber – 32% This one is not quite so obvious. It’s green and certainly looks vegetable (it’s a word ok!), but the seeds mean the cucumber is in fact a fruit, which was correctly identified by 32% of those surveyed.

7. Tomato – 52% I must admit I was a little surprised to find out that only 52% of people surveyed correctly identified the tomato as a fruit. Would you have got this one right?
