    No, not a vegetable. A fruit, or the seed of the fruit.:smile:

    Not a bean the way chickpeas and cannelini are beans (legumes). A bean like coffee or vanilla is a "bean," that is, a seed from things other than legumes that sort of look like legumes or grow in a pod like legumes, but aren't legumes.

    Fave myth quote:

    "6. Chocolate makes you gain weight
    Of course it does. Well, not necessarily. Obviously, monumental hot fudge sundaes aren’t going to do your waistline any favors, but a large study funded by the National Institutes of Health found this: Consuming a small amount of chocolate each of five days during a week was linked to a lower BMI, even if the person ate more calories overall and didn't exercise more than other participants. Hello, chocolate diet."

    Hi.
