Tomato: fruit or vegetable.

There are people that says it is a fruit while somebody else calls it a vegetable. I can see the view point on either side. Until somebody proves me wrong; I believe the tomato is a fruit.

It's classified a fruit, but I always looked at fruits as sweet

@Scrapper88 most Nana's I eat are pretty sweet, but some are rather bland

A banana is a fruit and it is not sweet.

I think tomato is a night vegetable, but it looks like a fruit too. So, maybe it is both.

In biological term, tomato is a fruit. Because fruit is a product of a tree or other plant that contains seed and can be eaten as food. But in cultural term, it's vegetable. Because vegetable can be any part of plant; fruit, leaf, stem, root, even seed. So, imo, tomato is a fruit that we eat as vegetable (people even eat it raw as other fruit too!)

It depends on how you see it. It is the fruit of a plant in the same way that beans and peas are. And what are veggies? Culturally, it depends on how we eat them , not what we eat of them (leaves in lettuce and basil and flowers in artichokes). Are roots of plants veggies? I eat tomatoes in salads ( veggies) or make sauces with them (veggies again). I call fruit what I eat for desert.

Scientific it’s a fruit. It grows on a vine stock and has seeds on the inside. It’s a fruit!
