tomato is a fruit, if it has seeds in it its a fruit, if its on the stalk or vine or whatever, its a vegetable
tomato is a fruit. most fruits are sweet and most veggies are……….. well…. not sweet
It is officially a fruit. It is cause it is.
tomato’s are fruits. i dont know why. but i know they are.
fruits are sweet and veggies aren’t
fruit: The ripened ovary or ovaries of a seed-bearing plant, together with accessory parts, containing the seeds and occurring in a wide variety of forms.
vegetable: plant cultivated for an edible part, such as the root of the beet, the leaf of spinach, or the flower buds of broccoli or cauliflower; any member of the vegetable kingdom
A tomato is a fruit. I have no idea what contributed to its identity.
it’s a fruit….fruits have seeds and veggies do NOT!
Tomato is fruit.
.
Tomatoes are both!
Fruit for the fact that scientifically they are classified as fruits though commonly we call them vegetables, so it’s actually both!
Definitely a fruit.
A tomato is a fruit. A reason for this is because it has seeds in it’s core. For example a cherry, apple, orange all have seeds in the center!
tomato is officially a fruit. a fruit is something that grown in the ground vegetable is something that doesnt grow in the ground
Fruit – seed structure and how hit grows.
fruit has seeds. Avacado is a fruit. Tomato is a fruit. Kiwi is a fruit. Lettuce is not.
fruits have seeds. tomatoes have seeds. tomato is technically a fruit, but has been declared a vegetable by, and you’ll have to check me on this, the FDA
I call it a vegetable, but anything that comes from a plant is called its ‘fruit.’
Typically a fruit has seeds on the inside, such as watermelon and apples. Tomatoes have seeds inside, which would classfiy them as a fruit.
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.
This argument has had legal implications in the United States. In 1887, U.S. tariff laws that imposed a duty on vegetables but not on fruits caused the tomato’s status to become a matter of legal importance. The U.S. Supreme Court settled the controversy in 1893 by declaring that the tomato is a vegetable, based on the popular definition that classifies vegetables by use, that they are generally served with dinner and not dessert (Nix v. Hedden (149 U.S. 304)). The holding of the case applies only to the interpretation of the Tariff Act of March 3, 1883, and the court did not purport to reclassify the tomato for botanical or other purposes other than paying a tax under a tariff act.
The tomato has been designated the state vegetable of New Jersey. Arkansas took both sides by declaring the “South Arkansas Vine Ripe Pink Tomato” to be both the state fruit and the state vegetable in the same law, citing both its botanical and culinary classifications. In 2006, the Ohio House of Representatives passed a law that would have declared the tomato to be the official state fruit, but the bill died when the Ohio Senate failed to act on it. Tomato juice has been the official beverage of Ohio since 1965. A.W. Livingston, of Reynoldsburg, Ohio played a large part in popularizing the tomato in the late 1800s.
Due to the scientific definition of a fruit, the tomato remains a fruit when not dealing with US tariffs. Nor is it the only culinary vegetable that is a botanical fruit: eggplants, cucumbers, and squashes of all kinds (such as zucchini and pumpkins) share the same ambiguity.
fruit because of the seeds
It’s a fruit but I can’t recall why!
vegtables grow in the ground
fruit grow on trees or bushes
Fruit. It has seeds on the interior. (So yes, this makes things like pumpkins and cucumbers fruit–technically.)
Fruits have seeds and vegetables don’t.
Tomatoes are fruits of the tomato bush, but they’re generally considered vegetables in the real world. But heck it doesn’t matter anyway, eat it or don’t. D:
Eggplants are also fruits, but most people consider those vegtables.
ITS A FRUIT
a tomato, fruit, fruits have seeds, vegtables dont
fruit…anything with seeds is a fruit (it doesn’t have to be sweet) i don’t know about vegetables though
a vegatable grows inside the soil and fruits grow on trees. i think a tomato is a fruit
tomato is a fruit. fruit is on the vine or and above ground. vegetables grow out of the ground..
A tomato is a fruit.
This is because it has seeds.
Everything (with a few exceptions) with seeds is a fruit.
Hope to have helped. =)
It’s definitely a fruit. Anything that has seeds, pretty much, is a fruit.
A tomato is a fruit
A fruit because it has seeds in it…I guess the vegetables come from seeds! No, that’s not right, either – well, I’m not sure – you need a botany book. I do know that it is considered a fruit, though!
A tomato is a fruit. Scientifically a fruit is a plant that has seeds. Well, atleast I think that’s nwhat my science teacher said in 4th grade… . But other than that, I’m pretty sure about it being a fruit.
Those that contain seeds are fruits and those that have roots are vegetables how ever this has changed a bit last I read
Check out wikipedia for more exact results.
Its a fruit, it has seeds and grows on a bush, thats part of it
scientists say that a tomatoe is a fruit. sry, i do not know the actual difference of a fruit and vegetable. i just say is that fruits are delicous, healthy snacks, and the veggies are the nasty, ugly, green stuff that are heathy (well, that’s wut people say..) lolol

a fruit is anything that has seeds — bananas and oranges and apples for example
a vegetable is anything where the thing IS the seed .. potatoes and carrots for example…
using this classification, i’d say that a tomato is a fruit but after reading this question im sure i remember reading somewhere that it is both ..
anyways, hope this helps

FRUIT! Because of the seed structure.
Technically tomatoes are fruits or berries, because they grow on vines. Fruits grow on trees and vegetables grow in the ground.
Avacados are used as vegetables too, but they are fruits because of growing in trees.
I learned that a tomato is “officially” a fruit… but why, I don’t know.
Some interesting explanations here:

And this was already asked and discussed here, for example:

i think its half of both. fruit because its sweet. and vegatble because it also has sort of a bitter taste to it too….?
its a fruit,anything with seeds or nuts is a fruit.anything grown undeground or bred is a vegetable and i know you breed tomatoes but it is a fruit x
A tomato is a fruit. For the rest see http://www.askoxford.com/asktheexperts/faq/aboutother/tomato
Fruit
I think it’s a fruit, but it is a combination. For example, another member of the tomato’s overarching family is the potato, a vegetable (Once, scientists mixed the two genes to make a new product, but the family was a poisinous one, so the result was toxic to humans).
A fruit is the result of a flowering plant, we’re the body surrounds and nurishes varying amounts of seeds (from the one in a mango to the hundreds in a Watermelon). Fruits are known for high Vitamin C content.
A vegetable is typically the body of the plant, or a part that is not a flowering plant or part. Carrots, for example, are roots, and potatoes form underground, hardly where a flower would grow.
Tomatoes result from flowers, house seeds, and (although it is not an exclusive trait of fruits) grows well up in the air.
A tomato is officially a fruit as is any part of a plant which carries the seed of the plant with a fleshy part around it. Therefore, pumpkin, cucumber, capsicum etc although we colloquially refer to them as vegetables are actually the fruit of the plant. A true vegetable would be something like a carrot – has no seed. In everyday speak the difference between a fruit and a vegetable refers more to their uses and sweetness, dessert or savory etc.
To really figure out if a tomato is a fruit or vegetable, you need to know what makes a fruit a fruit, and a vegetable a vegetable. The big question to ask is, DOES IT HAVE SEEDS?
If the answer is yes, then technically, you have a FRUIT. This, of course, makes your tomato a fruit. It also makes cucumbers, squash, green beans and walnuts all fruits as well. VEGETABLES such as, radishes, celery, carrots, and lettuce do NOT have seeds (that are part of what we eat) and so they are grouped as vegetables.
Now don’t go looking for tomatoes next to the oranges in your grocery stores. Certain fruits like tomatoes and green beans will probably always be mostly referred to as “vegetables” in today’s society.
