To all who said tomato is a fruit just b/c it has seeds....
what about peppers? cucumbers? These aren't fruit.

there is one easy way to determine if something is a fruit or vegetable - does it have any seeds? all plants with a seed are considered a fruit (ie tomato, avacado, plum, apple). if they do not have a seed, then they are a vegetable (ie potato, corn, asparagus).
both are so tasty especially this time of year!!!

Because a tomato contains seeds and most fruits contain seeds!

Tomatoes are a fruit! Fruit ripens and veggies just grow.

It has seeds, it's juicy, and it's bright red. It also comes from a flower like fruits do; it's not a stem or leaves or a root or anything like that.

because all fruits grow on trees or on vines, like tomatoes grow on vines, but all vegetables grow out of the ground like corn or carrots.
