Could someone help me find written evidence that tomatos are in fact fruit, rather than veggy's, which everyone seems to believe.
Thanks in advance

Same for me. I think I once heard a debate where they said that it was both.

Look up "fruit" in a dictionary, it should say something like "The ripened ovary or ovaries of a seed-bearing plant, together with accessory parts, containing the seeds and occurring in a wide variety of forms."

If it has seeds in it, and it started as a flower, then its a fruit.

Vegetables, as the word is used in everyday language, is a rather vague term.


I would say that a tomato is both a vegetable and a fruit.

Question Mark

i've always considered it a veggie as i dislike it and most other veggies, but i like most fruits. i really don't care one way or the other tho, i'm still not going to eat it.
