What do you think?

Well scientifically it is a fruit, though it tastes like a vegetable to us all because we have been taught that the taste of a tomato is the taste of a food in the vegetable group. There is no question about it, a tomato is a fruit haha. I remember that throwing me off when they taught it in elementary school years back, it was hard to believe as well. There's a lot of fruits that we assume are vegetables, for example, the avocado! It's green and has the feel of a vegetable, and also the taste, but it is very well a fruit. You learn things everyday I suppose haha, happy mylotting!

In reality a tomato is a fruit. They classify fruits and vegetable by the way they are grown (at least I am 90% sure they do). I was always taught that tomatoes were vegetables as well. However, some jerk scientist decided that it wasn't. I think it really confuses children. My seven year old asked me this question not to long ago. I had a hard time explaining it to her as well. I think she was watching the food channel as well when she heard them say it was a fruit. At the time she was learning food groups in school and they had told her it was a vegetable. Try arguing with a seven year old know it all. I rather pull my hair out. Anyways, she likes to watch the food channel because she says it helps her learn how to cook. Go figure. I think schools need to start teaching kids why foods are in certain food groups instead of just telling them which ones are which. The poor children go around their whole lives thinking one thing to find out that the one place that was responsible for teaching them failed.....how disappointing???

oh I always thought it was a vegetable, but i could be wrong, I guess it doesn't really matter they seem to get used more with other vegetable rather than with fruit so i don't know..

I think a tomato is a vegetabal.I never thought it's a friut. but sometimes raw tomato can be eaten directly, just like all of the fruits. cucumber the same.
