Is Tomato a Fruit or a Vegetable?

Its a fruit, i don't know where is the tomato belong i mean which family she belongs. Well i do believe its a fruit although we mistaken it from being a vegetable maybe because we used it in culinary purposes. =)

Because it grows on a plant it is fruit and because we eat it , it is vegetable, so US dept of agriculture is right and other sites are also right.. Thanks for sharing Cheers. God bless you, have a nice day ahead. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. .

I have always use tomato as a vegetable. But I don't like tomato considered as a fruit.

i believe it's a fruit.

hello Pinoycity, Tamato is a typically Red edible fruit as well as the plant "solanum lycopersicum", usually grown in cooler climates :). Botanically it is a fruit though considered a vegetable for culinary purposes, yess USA supreme court has passed a verdict to consider it as a vegetable which has caused this confusion to arise. Hope this helps :)

Botonically a berry, it is characterised as a vegetable. Most fruits are sweet, but tomato is not!Its never used in sweet receipes, never placed next to a banana or apple in a grocery store! In 1983 US supreme court declared it as vegetable.

Tomato is considering as fruit. Now we are use it as vegetable as widely than fruit. I am also eat it as fruit.

I've always thought of a tomato as a vegetable but I think that it is considered a fruit. Seems strange.
