The big question to ask is, DOES IT HAVE SEEDS? If the answer is yes, then technically, (botanically) you have a FRUIT.ChaCha
Yes, it is considered a fruit because it has seeds. Thanks for using ChaCha!
Scientifically speaking, a tomato is definitely a fruit. Thanks for using ChaCha!
Things that do not contain seeds are vegetables, in the technical sense. Everything else is a fruit. Tomatoes, cucumbers, corn grains, and bean pods are all technically fruits. ChaCha!
