Cucumbers are the most sought-after vegetable in Texas, at least for those who order from Instacart.
The big picture: Texas joined only nine other states with the cool veggie listed as the favorite in 2023, including neighboring Louisiana and New Mexico.
Driving the news: The grocery delivery app last month released a state-by-state analysis of the most-ordered vegetables.
- Other states' favorites include onions, celery, carrots and greens.
The intrigue: Only Californians wanted tomatoes more than any other vegetable.
Which begs the conversation: Some people say a tomato is a fruit, while others say it's a vegetable — and then there are people who say there actually is no such thing as a vegetable, writes Axios' Carly Mallenbaum. That could all be correct.
- Not only is the tomato misunderstood, but so is the cucumber.
