Do you count tomatoes as fruit or veggie?

I count it as a veggie. Fruit justy doesn't seem right for a tomato.

 

[Undertaker the Deadman]

Same here. I think its a vegatable. Fruit wouldn't make any sense...

 

[nadan the water queen]

it has seeds, so it's a FRUIT!!!

 

[Alex_]

Well technically its a fruit, but ill always see it as a vegetable.

 

[nadan the water queen]

yeah, i was little when my mom told me it was a fruit and i threw a GIANT fit, and insisted it wasn't. i was a funny little brat. XD but now I'M the one calling it a fruit.

 

[deathbyalice]

Sorry guys. Tomato IS a fruit.

 

[Kayleigh]

Well, even though it really is a fruit I've just never thought of it as one. It's always seemed like a vegetable to me, lol. O_o Plus, it doesn't taste as sweet as most fruits (...and it's grooosss to me!) anyway, so that's another reason. I was really surprised the first time I heard that it really was one.

I love tomatoes!! they're so good ^^v

yeah.. they're a fruit, but they'll always be a vegetable to me. o_o

 

[Cassie-chan]

Tomatoes will always be a veggie to me. Even if it isn't. :P It just never seemed like a fruit...not as sweet.

 

[Dark Eclipse]

[deathbyalice]

No matter what you think of it as, it wont change the fact that it's a fruit.

 

[Greed]

I consider them a vegetable. Because vegatables taste yucky to me, and fruits are delicious ;3

I just found something interesting:

Botanically speaking, the tomato you eat is a fruit. So is a watermelon, green pepper, eggplant, cucumber, and squash. A "fruit" is any fleshy material covering a seed or seeds.

Horticulturally speaking, the tomato is a vegetable plant. The plant is an annual and nonwoody. Most fruits, from a horticulture perspective, are grown on a woody plant (apples, cherries, raspberries, oranges) with the exception of strawberries.

In 1893, the United States Supreme Court ruled the tomato was a "vegetable" and therefore subject to import taxes. The suit was brought by a consortium of growers who wanted it declared a vegetable to protect U.S. crop development and prices. Fruits, at that time, were not subjected to import taxes and foreign countries could flood the market with lower priced produce. (A hundred years really hasn't changed anything.)

In my eyes, its a vegetable. I've never eaten a tomato as if it were a fruit. We eat them with other vegetables at dinner. But, it is a fruit apparently.

On second thought, I'll say fruit-vegetable.

LoL,yes pumpkins have seeds.
Althoe I know its a fruit,I'll still count it as a veggie,cuz fruits are sweet,veggies aren't.

 

[Arch Enemy]

It is used in cooking as a vegetable, but it has seeds inside so it is a fruit.

 

[Rubberbandman]

It doesn`t taste look very fruity,and I mainly count it as a vegetable!

I thought it was a vegetable until this year, when my science teacher informed me that it was a fruit because of it's seeds.
