Yup. I have collards and kales growing for years that still haven't gone to seed. I feed the leaves to my rabbit and ducks everyday and they grow new ones on the stalk after a week (some of the stalks are as big as small trees). And I have a cut and come again lettuce / mustard / rocket bed for me where I use scissors to harvest everything once a week and eventually let it go to seed.

For nightshades like tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, etc, it is actually no different than fruit from a tree. You are harvesting the fruit of a plant. Doesn't harm the plant at all.

I would call those fruits.
