It isn't. It's actually classified a fruit.

A tomato is considered a fruit due to the fact of coming from a flowering plant and the fact that they contain seeds. If you look at any other fruit, you would notice that they contain seeds. Whether it be an apple, orange, banana, peach, plum, etc. They ALL contain seeds. Thus labeling the tomato as a fruit. Not a vegetable.

The only reason that a tomato is called a veggie is because it is eaten like one. It is really a fruit, but we classify it as a veggie.

Tomato is a Vegetable, have you ever found a FRUIT VENDOR selling TOMATO ?
Lets take the things at its face value, not whatever scientists say, but to classify a thing we must first see its USE and tomato is used as a vegetable, PASTA with tomato and Olive oil is the tasty food.
