Tomato is a fruit Something about the seeds

Tomatos are said to be a fruit scientifically because it has seeds and all fruits have seeds, but, however, most people refer a tomato as a vegetable because how it is used in recipes. That's not completely wrong either. Also, in 1883, The US Supreme Court ruled that a tomato is a vegetable. So decide for yourself. Fruit or vegatable?

Tomatoes are fruits. Anything with seeds is a fruit, but LEGALLY, it is a vegetable. Some interesting info can be found at the link below:

Scientifically speaking, a tomato is definitely a fruit. True fruits are developed from the ovary in the base of the flower, and contain the seeds of the plant (though cultivated forms may be seedless).

Tomatoe is a fruit. If it was a vegetable it wouldn't have the seeds.

Anything which has seeds inside when you peel/open it is "Classified" as fruit ( like tomatoes), even though some people/stores will put them under vegetables category....
Think of anything that does not have seeds inside it when you open it, then it's a vegetable.
