What other fruit ( pineapple is wellknown ) would tast good on a pizza? That was the question i asked during lunch at school. The results off that class…
Passionfruit, watermelon and Strawberry were the favorite ones to be tasted.
Bad idee was kiwi, apple and cherrys.

What do you think?

    Peppers are the fruit of the plant. They’re what’s made after the flowers were pollinated and have seeds. They’re also sometimes sweet and not always so spicy.

    Of course, there’s the botanical definition and culinary definition and there’s some overlap. The most famous would be a tomato, which is also a fruit and a vegetable from different points of view.

    What’s mind-blowing to think about is that a pepper is not just a fruit but also technically a berry.

    In cooking, peppers are used as a fruit, a vegetable, and even a spice. (Depending on the pepper variety.) So, anyone classifying it as any of those things is right. 👍

    (Wikipedia mentions all this too.) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chili_pepper

      it might be the fruit of the plant, but peppers are botanically speaking vegetables, and more closely related to tomatoes, potatoes and eggplants, than apples and oranges. OP is asking for fruits other than pineapple to put on a pizza, not how far the definition of what a fruit is can be stretched. you might be partly correct, but not in the context of what this thread is about.
