THE WORLD REALLY HAS TWO DIFFERENT MEANINGS OF THE WORD "FRUIT".ONE WHEN YOU GO TO THE GROCERY STORE N ONE USED BY THE BOTANISTS. BUT TO REALLY FIGURE OUT THE TRUTH WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT MAKES A FRUIT A FRUIT AND A VEGETABLE A VEGETABLE? THE BIG QUESTION IS DOES TOMATO HAVE SEEDS? IF THE ANSWER IS YES THEN TECHNICALLY ITS A FRUIT. This, of course, makes tomato a fruit. It also makes cucumbers, squash, green beans and walnuts all fruits as well. VEGETABLES such as, radishes, celery, carrots, and lettuce do NOT have seeds (that are part of what we eat) and so they are grouped as vegetables. Now THIS DOES'NT MEAN WE go looking for tomatoes next to the oranges in our GROCERY stores. Certain fruits like tomatoes and green beans will probably always be mostly referred to as "vegetables" in today's society. So a tomato is the fruit of the tomato plant, but can be used as a vegetable in cooking. Here's an easy side dish with zesty flavors that features fresh tomatoes. SMOKEY TOMATO SALAD 4 medium tomatoes, diced 3 cloves garlic, finely minced 1 4-oz. (396 g) can diced green chiles 1/4 t. + 1/8 t.
