Botanically, sure, but from a culinary perspective they're used like a vegetable.

As they say, intelligence is knowing tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

(That's the saying, but IMO it's wisdom to know and intelligence to not do it, maybe I'm mixing things up).

@Ilovethebomb has the answer IMO: knowledge and wisdom.
