Tomato's: Vegetable or Fruit!?

And please give a reason as to why it is one or the other (Facts please)Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Fruit!.
Botanically speaking, anything that bears seeds is a fruit!. The fruit forms
from the reproductive part of the plant, i!.e!., the flower!. The ovary of the
flower becomes the fruit and inside the seeds form!. So a tomato comes from
the flower and inside are the seeds!. So it is a fruit!. A nut is a seed and
the shell is the fruit!. Anything from a part of the plant that is not the
flower is vegetative, i!.e!., does not reproduce!. So leaves, stems and roots
are vegetables!. So lettuce, carrots and potatoes are vegetables!.


Because it contains seeds!.

A lot of people consider it a fruit because it has seeds!.!.!. but that would mean that pumpkins, squash, and cucumbers are also fruits!.

I personally consider anything that I have to cook a veggie!.!.!. I don't like raw veggies, although I will occasionally eat a salad!.!.!. and anything that is good enough to eat raw a fruit!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Even though it does not have the taste of one, it is a fruit!. Botanically, a tomato is the ovary, together with its seeds, of a flowering plant: therefore it is a fruit or, more precisely, a berryWww@FoodAQ@Com

its a berry so its a fruit!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
