is a tomato a fruit or vegetable?





Answers:
Not only is it a fruit, it is a berry. But it is used as a vegetable.
Other "vegetables" are fruits also. And rhubarb, which we use like a fruit, is a vegetable.
So, I think that in the kitchen, produce is classified by use or by sugar content (except rhubarb), not botany.

Biologically, it's a fruit. It's the fleshy part that contains the seeds.

However, in terms of its use as food, it's a vegatable becuas its primary taste is not sweet.
A tomato is a vegetable as well as fruit.
Before the name of the tomato it was called as love apple.

A berry, a type of a fleshy simple fruit botanically (together with pomes, stone fruits and false berries). Tomato belongs to the same family as potato, but potato beries are small and poisonous.
veggie, it goes in salad and comes from the ground and doesn't taste like fruit and doesn't have sugar
