Answer 3

A tomato is a fruit. There's no question about it. It has seeds and ovaries, it's a fruit. There is no botanical definition for the word "vegetable," which is strictly a culinary term.

To *^*hEaThEr*^*, way down below: I put slices of banana on sandwiches, as well as strawberry jelly. Who puts vegetables on their sandwiches or makes vegetable sauce?

Answer 4

"Botanically, a tomato is the ovary, together with its seeds, of a flowering plant: a fruit or, more precisely, a berry. However, the tomato is not as sweet as those foodstuffs usually called fruits and, from a culinary standpoint, it is typically served as part of a salad or main course of a meal, as are vegetables, rather than at dessert, as are fruits. As noted above, the term "vegetable" has no botanical meaning and is purely a culinary term."
