Is a tomato a veggie or a fruit?
Scientifically speaking, a tomato is definitely a fruit. True fruits are developed from the ovary in the base of the flower, and contain the seeds of the plant. The tomato, though technically a fruit, is often used as a vegetable. MORE?

Botanically, it is a fruit. Legally, it is a vegetable, by ruling of the supreme court in 1887. Thanks for using ChaCha!

Botanists classify it as a berry. Horticulturists classify it as a vegetable. In 1893, the US Supreme Court ruled it a vegetable.
