People are generally confused as to whether, tomatoes are vegetables or fruits?We have different perspective and different answers from different people.But, we will stick to the most specific scientific explanation in deducing the truth.Botanically, the tomato has seeds and is considered a ovary of a flowering plant which makes it a fruit.Having said that, most fruits that we have classified as fruits under this criteria are sweet to taste.Tomatoes are generally not that sweet to taste.Fruits are used extensively in desserts whereas the vegetables are used in salads.So, by that clause, tomato will be grouped under the class of Vegetables.So, now we know what exactly the tomatoes are.But don’t go and complain that the vegetable vendor has the tomatoes and not the fruit market seller.

In practice the tomatoes are considered vegetables and even the US Government grouped them under the class vegetables when there was an issue raised for taxes for fruits and not vegetables.In that point of time, it became mandatory for them to arrive at a decision and the decision was arrived based on the usage of tomatoes rather than the botanical reasoning.

Be it a fruit or a vegetable, it is definitely very good for health and is a regular ingredient in all major world cuisines.
