Tomatoes are fruits that are considered vegetables by nutritionists.
A tomato meets the botanical definition of a berry in that fruit that has seeds enclosed in a fleshy pulp. All berries are fruits.
A tomato is used as a vegetable in the culinary world and was even determined to be a vegetable by the United States Supreme Court for tax purposes.
So, a tomato is technically the fruit of the tomato plant, but it’s used as a vegetable in cooking. – Tiny Fox Lab
