fruit!.!.!.its not my opinion!.!.!.its a fact!Www@FoodAQ@Com
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!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
" Fruit!. Botanically, a tomato fruit is a berry consisting of seeds within a fleshy pericarp developed from an ovary!. Fruits of L!. esculentum have two to several carpels!. There is extreme variability of fruit characters such as size, shape, exterior color of mature and immature fruit, and interior flesh color!."Www@FoodAQ@Com
It is actually a berry, but most people (botanists) will agree it's a fruit!. It blossoms from a flower and has seeds!. The reason people think it's a vegetable, is because of it's flavor and use in savory types of foods!. My opinion is veggie, as I use it in soups, sauces and salads!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Botanically a tomato is a fruit, because it is the flowering berry from the plant!.

Fruit!. If it has seeds inside of it, it is technically a fruit!. I wouldn't slice it up and add it to a fruit salad though!.
