Re: Is a Tomato a fruit or a vegetable
Banana's have seeds you noob. They just don't become visible for a while, which is usually beyond the age that people eat them.

Re: Is a Tomato a fruit or a vegetable
it is a fruit
Lol, at what I found at Wikipedia
Quote:This argument has had legal implications in the United States. In 1887, U.S. tariff laws that imposed a duty on vegetables, but not on fruits, caused the tomato's status to become a matter of legal importance. The U.S. Supreme Court settled the controversy on May 10, 1893, by declaring that the tomato is a vegetable, based on the popular definition that classifies vegetables by use, that they are generally served with dinner and not dessert (Nix v. Hedden (149 U.S. 304)).[51] The holding of the case applies only to the interpretation of the Tariff Act of March 3, 1883, and the court did not purport to reclassify the tomato for botanical or other purposes.
Tomatoes have been designated the state vegetable of New Jersey. Arkansas took both sides by declaring the "South Arkansas Vine Ripe Pink Tomato" to be both the state fruit and the state vegetable in the same law, citing both its culinary and botanical classifications. In 2009, the state of Ohio passed a law making the tomato the state's official fruit. Tomato juice has been the official beverage of Ohio since 1965. A.W. Livingston, of Reynoldsburg, Ohio, played a large part in popularizing the tomato in the late 19th century; his efforts are commemorated in Reynoldsburg with an annual Tomato Festival.

Re: Is a Tomato a fruit or a vegetable
Vegetables can be roots, stems, leaves, and flowers. Potatoes and carrots are roots. Asparagus and celery are stems. Lettuce and spinach are leaves. Broccoli is a flower.
Not my words, I copied it ...
If it had seeds it is fruit, no seeds, it's not fruit.

Re: Is a Tomato a fruit or a vegetable
Tomato is a (mostly) red fruit, that is used for lots of different porpoises (yes, porpoises) ... You can eat it, you can drown it, you can throw it, you can do lots of other things to it, if you're so inclined ...
Make soup, paste, lube, sauce .. you know, the usual stuff. It is TECHNICALLY a fruit, but is usually called a vegetable because it isn't sweet nor can be used for desserts, sweets etc .. unless you're weird. xD

It's used for tomato sauce and ketchup. Doesn't taste very good when you just eat it plain. And it's red and plumpy!
