Can beets be used as a fruit?
No. Sugar beets are a tuberous vegetable, and they have a sweet flavor because they contain high levels of sucrose, a non-reducing disaccharide formed by condensing glucose and fructose. Fruits are mostly sweet because they contain fructose, and the reasons for their sweetness alone are different. And the nutritional composition of fruits and vegetables will have a big difference, generally vegetables will have a higher nutritional value.
