Are tomatoes a fruit or a vegetable?

This is why it is a vegetable.

It's both :





Your old/odd statement doesn't work neither in other countries, nor in science.

You don't read much do you?
For the purposes of tax tariffs, and countries gotta make that money, it is a vegetable regardless of what science says. That was the point of the link if you spent just 2 minutes to read.

It's both because of cultures (amongst is trade taxes aspect) and science.

What is so hard to understand ?

This debate got kinda serious, eh?

This is a trick question.

It's actually a type of dolphin.

What i know all vegetables are fruts to start with vegetebuls are a sub changera of fruits like pork is a sub of Meat.
In my mind if it gorws with photosynthesis the plant produse fruits even tho its some thing called a vegetable like peppers or parsnips. They grow therfore they are fruit...

If you think im wrog pleac pro me wrong dont just troll and say your wrong your stupide homo thats just being a retard...

Some vegetables are not fruits but roots like carrots and radishes.
Some vegetables are leaf and stem like cabbages and broccolis.

And some vegetables are fruits like the tomatoes and the aubergines.

It's a fruit by definition....so I choose fruit.

It is both, like the aubergines.

Since water is a issue here i had to forgo the growing for extra profit to water my fruit trees with irrigation. So i plated big boys for green tomatoes, Brandywine for eating, and Yellow Pears. Four plants for all three just for out house.

It's a fruit because it's ovary is on the outside. It's technically a huge megasporagia. Well, that's what I learned in University Biology.

[size=10]I hate them nonetheless. [/h]

It's kinda how people call strawberry's berries but they aren't.

[color=#993300]All that matters is that it's edible, useful, and tasty

From what I've heard, it's biologically a fruit but legally a vegetable due to taxes

Which makes it a fruit in the end anyway.

I grew up being told it was a veg, so it's a veg. Just like Pluto is still a planet.

All fruits are vegetables, but not all vegetables are fruits.

A vegtable is an edible part of the plant, be it root, seed, fruit, leaf, ect...

Tomatoes are the fruit of the tomato plant. Thus they are fruits.

The only fruits that arn't vegetables are inedible ones.

I heard Tomatoes are a fruit, but Ketchup (which is basically tomato paste as the key ingredient) is concisered a vegetable.
*brain explodes into WTF unicorn farts*

Tomatoes are fruits that taste like vegetables. Pineapples are vegetables that taste like fruit. Call them what you like, based on how you cook and eat them. If you want the final verdict though, Tomatoes are fruits.
