Fruits vs. Vegetables: Why a Watermelon is not a Berry and a Tomato is a Fruit
All our lives, successfully ignoring botany, we rely on only one simple (and incorrect) rule: sweet is fruit, and everything else is vegetables. In reality, it doesn’t work that way. In the book “Fruits vs. Vegetables,” botanist, museum worker, and author of the blog “Dovkolabotanika” Oleksiy Kovalenko tells the true story of the foods we see every day in the kitchen and in the supermarket. He will also teach us to distinguish a vegetable from a fruit, a nut from a kernel, and a watermelon from a berry. In the book, Oleksiy explains who tried to treat infertility and scorpion bites with cucumbers, how lettuce was credited with the ability to influence male potency, where beets came to us from, and how to cook chestnuts at home without blowing up the apartment.
This is not a recipe book or even a botany textbook. Oleksiy Kovalenko’s book is a real and witty history of the most ordinary vegetables and fruits: from the peculiarities of their DNA and breeding to the strangest myths and culinary lifehacks.
Oleksiy Kovalenko works at the National Museum of Natural History of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, where he conducts scientific research, lectures, and educational interactive programs. In his free time, he actively popularizes botany—he runs a blog and Youtube channel “Dovkolabotanika,” the page “Botanist in Sneakers,” writes for the Facebook page of the Natural History Museum, where he talks about reptiles, apples, minerals, and dinosaurs, and several other science-popular platforms.
Oleksiy decided to become a botanist back in the 6th grade and has not changed his mind since. “Studying plants and being genuinely fascinated by them is one of those things that will save the world. And as it says on my family crest, ‘Don’t be a grump—study botany!'” Oleksiy smiles.
