Peppers are often called fruits by botanists, but in everyday terms, they’re clearly vegetables. The confusion comes from the difference between scientific classification and culinary use.


Botanically, a fruit is defined as the part of a plant that develops from the flower and contains seeds. Peppers technically fit that description—but in the kitchen, the definition of “fruit” has more to do with flavor and how we use it. Fruits are generally sweet or tart and eaten raw or in desserts, while vegetables are savory and used in main dishes, soups, and salads.


Peppers, whether bell, jalapeño, or poblano, are rarely eaten like an apple or a berry. Their earthy, sometimes spicy flavor and their role in savory cooking make them vegetables in every practical sense. You chop them with onions, sauté them in stir-fries, and mix them into pasta sauce—not fruit salad.


So while the science might say “fruit,” our senses, traditions, and everyday experience say “vegetable.” In the real world of cooking and eating, peppers are vegetables—plain and simple.
