tomato a fruit or vegetable?

Answer 1

its a fruit

Answer 2

It depends on who you are asking - someone who studies plants, or someone who buys groceries at the stores. Technically, a fruit is the a ripened ovary of a flower. Thus, cucumers, pumpkins, and a host of other things we refer to as "vegetables" are actually fruits. However, vegetable is not a botanical term. It is a term used to differentiate between sweet things like apples from more savory things, like broccoli. Vegetables can be any part of a plant - stems, leaves, petals, roots, and yes - even fruits. So, contrary to probably every other answer you'll receive about this question, you are safe to call a tomato a vegetable.

Answer 3

A. Botanically-speaking, the tomato is a fruit and can be further classified as a berry since it is pulpy and has edible seeds.

Most of us use the tomato as we do vegetables, primarily in savory dishes.

In 1893, an importer claimed the tomato as a fruit in order to avoid vegetable import tariffs imposed by the United States. This dispute led to the Supreme Court ruling for taxation purposes that the tomato be classified as a vegetable, since it was primarily consumed in the manner of a vegetable rather than a fruit which was usually used in desserts.

Other botanical fruits classified as vegetables include squash, cucumbers, green beans, corn kernels, eggplants, and peppers.
