I used this translation as well and it is now accepted. As this is clearly a general statement, use of the definite article here is just wrong in English, though apparently mandatory in Romanian as well as several other languages. One would also say "Les tomates" in French, for example.

Technically they are both. "Fruit" is a term from biology, "vegetable" is a term from sociology/commerce.
