Are cherry peppers fruits or vegetables?

Cherry peppers are actually fruits. This may come as a surprise to some people, as they are often used in savory dishes and mistaken for a vegetable. In fact, the cherry pepper is a member of the nightshade family, which includes other fruits such as tomatoes and eggplants.

Cherry peppers are small, round, and usually bright red or green in color. They have a sweet and mildly spicy taste and are often used in pickling and as a garnish. They can also be stuffed with cheese or other fillings for a delicious appetizer or snack.
