    I don't know about a technical difference, but there is a botanical difference which has been oft-cited already here. I think there is a very big difference in the taste of fruits vs. veggies. Most fruits are sweet, tart or thirst-quenching, whereas vegetables have strong, bland or earthy tastes, and most people, especially children, have to acquire a taste for them, or end up hating them. Both fruits and vegetables are good for your health, since they contain antioxidents and vitamins galore. It is purported that a diet rich in the nutrients that fruits and vegetables provide can ward off many deadly diseases.
