Question by God: A tomato is not a fruit?
Is a tomato a fruit or a Vegetable?
I think vegetable, because IT TASTES LIKE ONE. Also, cucumbers are vegetables and have seeds too, and the Jackfruit is a fruit that grows under the ground…so there is really no proof whether or not a tomato is a fruit or not…what do you think?
Best answer:
Answer by Charlotte
Technically, a fruit since it has seeds.
I still call it a veggie, though. :3

It’s a fruit.
answer mine? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhmAogcJBSKmmj1mu4WK7Ffty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20091101072128AAiC5nT
anything with seeds inside it is considered a fruit
weird but thats how it is
Yes it is.
In scientific terms,it’s a fruit.
In culinary terms,it’s a vegetable. P:
Tomatoes are fruits.
The Tomato is actually a berry.
Botanically, a tomato is the ovary, together with its seeds, of a flowering plant: therefore it is a fruit. 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 in the case of most fruits. As noted above, the term vegetable has no botanical meaning and is purely a culinary term. Originally the controversy was that tomatoes are treated as a fruit in home canning practices. Tomatoes are acidic enough to be processed in a water bath rather than a pressure cooker as “vegetables” require.
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 on May 10, 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 purpose. Tomatoes have 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 culinary and botanical 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. However, in April 2009 a new form of the bill passed, making the tomato the official fruit of the state of Ohio. 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.
No tomato is a fruit because it has seeds in it.
Every fruit has seeds in it.
maby it’s a terrible crossdressing incest tranvestite cousin of a fruit.
no no it’s 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). That is what a tomato does. there are exceptions though such as strawberries
It is both.
Botanically, it is a fruit. A fruit is defined as the part of the plant that holds the seeds, so things like peppers, cucumbers, and squashes are also fruits.
In everyday terms, however, it is a vegetable based on the sugar content, which is why you say it is because it tastes like one.

Vegetable is a *culinary* term for plant stuff used in savory cooking. Fruit is a *botanical* term for the seed-bearing ovary of the plant. The two have different origins and usages and are not mutually exclusive.
SO, a tomato or cucumber is a fruit vegetable in the same way that potatoes and carrots are root vegetables, lettuce and cabbage are leaf vegetables, celery is a stalk vegetable, broccoli and artichokes are flower vegetables.
Other fruit vegetables include peppers, squash – anything that has seeds.
Tomatoes taste like vegetables, but they are actually fruits. They are fruits because they have seeds; vegetables don’t.
its a fruit for sure
If it has seeds, it is a fruit.
it is not because it has seeds. it is beause it grows on a vine like berries. in the same fashion.
The confusion about ‘fruit’ and ‘vegetable’ arises because of the differences in usage between scientists and cooks. 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). Blueberries, raspberries, and oranges are true fruits, and so are many kinds of nut. Some plants have a soft part which supports the seeds and is also called a ‘fruit’, though it is not developed from the ovary: the strawberry is an example. As far as cooking is concerned, some things which are strictly fruits may be called ‘vegetables’ because they are used in savoury rather than sweet cooking. The tomato, though technically a fruit, is often used as a vegetable, and a bean pod is also technically a fruit. The term ‘vegetable’ is more generally used of other edible parts of plants, such as cabbage leaves, celery stalks, and potato tubers, which are not strictly the fruit of the plant from which they come. Occasionally the term ‘fruit’ may be used to refer to a part of a plant which is not a fruit, but which is used in sweet cooking: rhubarb, for example. So a tomato is the fruit of the tomato plant, but can be used as a vegetable in cooking. Hope this helps with your want for a definition.
