Why isn't chocolate considered a vegetable, if chocolate comes from cocoa beans, and all beans are a vegetable?

Same with coffee. That's a soup right?

@abe182 yes. But what does that mean for vodka that's made from potatoes or wine from grapes?
abe182 · 46-50, M
@Lilarianna wine is definitely a fruit juice but I have to draw the line at vodka! Potatoes are starches not vegetables.

In that case... I LOVE vegetables 😍
Lilarianna · 26-30, F
@SW-User Mind blowing, right?

Cause chocolate these days is not made of cocoa beans only, it contains a lot of sugar and unhealthy stuff instead of actual cocoa beans. It’s a fraud.
Lilarianna · 26-30, F
@SW-User what about toblerone?
SW-User
@Lilarianna I like that too, it’s my friend’s favorite
Lilarianna · 26-30, F
@SW-User Mine too.. and cruchies

Beans are not vegetables, they are legumes. Legumes are plants that produce a pod with seeds inside it. Technically speaking, they're more of a fruit.

@lacsar That is a great idea!

Tell yourself it is and enjoy!

@Zoranna I've suddenly grown very fond of vegetables.
Zoranna · F
@Lilarianna Hahaha

Given that cocoa grows on trees, it would more likely be a fruit. Actual chocolate however is a mixture of sugar, milk, cocoa powder and butter.
Lilarianna · 26-30, F
@Shaun You're ruining my new vegetable diet
Thevy29 · 41-45, M
Possibly because of the way it needs to be processed.
Lilarianna · 26-30, F
@Thevy29 Maybe, but fundamentally it is a vegetable, no?
Thevy29 · 41-45, M
Poisonous in large quantity @Lilarianna
Lilarianna · 26-30, F
@Thevy29 Well that's dampened it slightly :'-)

Chocolate is a superfood recommended for dieters if it's processed right and doesn't have sugar added.
SW-User
Maybe it has to do with the process it undergoes. 🤔
Lilarianna · 26-30, F
@SW-User hmm, someone needs to study this hypothesis further
room101 · 51-55, M
Of course chocolate is a vegetable. How can you even ask such a thing 😱
SW-User
vegetables aren't so delicious
