Is a tomato a fruit or a veggie?!


Question: Please tell me I have no clue!


Answers: Please tell me I have no clue!

Most people beleive it is a vegitable, but scientificaly it is a fruit.

If you notice, the REAL veitables have no seeds in them, unlike peaches, (that have a seed called a pit) apples, grapes, and tomatoes. Cucumbers are actually a fruit also.

So, it really is a fruit, because it has seeds, but some people put it under a vegitable category, I guess because it has more of a bitter than sweet flavor to it.

FRUIT!

Yes, it is a fruit, but is to be treated as a vegetable when it comes to cooking it.

On the other hand.... you can make jam and juice with it.

It's a fruit... but I see it like a veggie.

Sorry, previous poster...cucumbers are fruit too.

By definition fruit is the seed-bearing pod of a plant which means that things normally thought of as vegetables are actually fruit like string beans, squash and peppers. There are a few exceptions like bananas or pineapples that don't produce seeds at all, that would require an entire lesson in botany to explain.

Plants that are acarpous, or which do not produce fruit are considered vegetables like asparagus, spinach, etc.
