Check this out, It says they are fruits because they've got seeds!. That's the most basic way to tell if something is a fruit or a vegetable!. See link for more info:

I love tomatoes!!

A fruit is defined as the seed bearing portion of a plant!. In other words, anything in the produce isle with an internal seed is considered a fruit!.

A vegetable is a part of plant cultivated for eating!. Like flowers (artichoke), stems (celery or rhubarb), leaves (lettuce), roots (taters and carrots), etc!.

I bet you didn't know a cucumber was a fruit also!. So, it doesn't have to be sweet or sour to be a fruit!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Tomatoes are actually fruits, I think they should be a frugeteble (haha) because they don't have that sweet fruity taste or aren't crunchy like some vegetables!. I love tomatoes and ketchup and marinara sauce and i've tryed v8 fuit fussion!. It was pretty good!! I'm like obsessed with tomatoes, epesially the cherry ones!! One time I just picked some up and started eating them!. (We had run out of fruits!)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I also think tomatos should be classified as vegetables, but they are not!. And the reason they are fruits its because they have seeds, so everything that has seeds is a fruit!. Pumpkins, chlies, cuecumbers, are all fruits!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i agree!. tomatoes should be classified as a veggie, you wouldnt just pick up a tomatoe and just eat it like you would a normal fruit!.
