A vegetable is an edible plant or part of a plant. However, the word is not scientific, and its meaning is largely based on culinary and cultural tradition. Therefore the application of the word is somewhat arbitrary and subjective. For example, some people consider mushrooms to be vegetables, [1][2][3] while others consider them a separate food category. [4] Some vegetables can be consumed raw, and some may (or must) be cooked in various ways. In everyday (non-technical) language, the words "fruit" and "vegetable" are mutually exclusive plant products that are called fruits are hardly ever classified as vegetables, and vice versa. However, for scientists the word "fruit" also has a precise botanical meaning, which is considerably different from its common meaning. While peaches, plums, and oranges are "fruits" in both senses, many items commonly called "vegetables" — such as eggplants, bell peppers, and tomatoes — are technically fruits, as are also most cereals, as well as some spices like pepper and chiles. On the other hand, many items commonly called "fruits" — including figs, pineapples, and strawberries — are not fruits in the strict botanical sense.[citation needed] The question of whether the tomato is a fruit or a vegetable found its way into the United States Supreme Court in 1893. The court ruled unanimously in Nix v. Hedden that a tomato is correctly identified as, and thus taxed as, a vegetable, for the purposes of the 1883 Tariff Act on imported produce. The court did acknowledge, however, that, botanically speaking, a tomato is a fruit.[5] Languages other than English often have categories that can be identified with the common English meanings of "fruit" and "vegetable", but their precise meaning often depends on local culinary traditions. For example, in Brazil the avocado is traditionally consumed with sugar as a dessert or in milk shakes, and hence it is regarded as a fruit, whereas in other countries (including Mexico and the United States) it is used in salads and dips, and hence considered a vegetable.[citation needed]
