Question by Polly!: Are tomatoes a vegetable or fruit?
People always say that they are fruit because they have seeds… but then so do courgettes and cucumbers…
I think of them as vegetables because the idea of having tomatoes in a fruit salad just makes me feel sick! And biting into a tomato like you do an apple… vom!

Vegetable.
fruit because it has seeds
Genetically they are a fruit. but that doesn’t mean they belong in a fruit salad or anything. uses won’t change for them but they are fruit
Botanically, a tomato is a fruit. So is a cucumber.
When we talk about them in cooking and diet, we call them vegetables. Their scientific classification is really irrelevant to us. We care more about how sweet they are and what role they play in our meals.
technically a fruit because they have seeds like cucumbers! but most consider them vegetable
fruit, this is because they have seeds and they also contain citric acid like oranges do
They are a fruit but most people say they are a vegetable cause they grow in gardens!
Tomatoes are a fruit, and they are great to eat like an apple, I feel you have to add salt to really lift the taste. Messy but nice.
In the early days they were called a “love apple”.
tomato is actually a fruit
Botanically correct: a fruit.
However, who really considers them a fruit? Although I do like them on my “salads”.
Technically, a fruit. and I eat them like a fruit. But I think most people consider them a vegetable and put them in salads.
fruit
Science books say that it’s a fruit because it contains seeds, but people treat it as a vegetable!
