What do you consider tomatoes 2015-07-31 19:03:36


I know botanically, tomato is a fruit but when it comes to a culinary standards, it's pretty much mixed in with vegetables. Let's be honest, do tomatoes even taste like fruits to you?

With that said, do you consider it to be a fruit or a vegetable?

I personally prefer the culinary standards but just go around teaching your kids that tomato is a vegetable if you want to avoid confusing them once they get past kindergarten.

But then again they don't help much in the early school years since teachers tends to encourage that sort of misconception.

I consider it a fruit. But it's easy to fallback to thinking that it's a vegetable.

I prefer the scientific definition. If it has seeds, it's a fruit.

The thing is tho, it tastes like a fruit.
So I don't get it.

Tomatoes are considered a culinary vegetable. It's not mutually exclusive with being a botanical fruit. Other foods that fit this include avocado, beans, peapods, corn kernels, cucumbers, grains, nuts, olives peppers, pumpkin, squash, sunflower seeds.

That sounds like a fruity opinion to me.

What's that old saying? Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

I'll be honest though, I count it as a vegetable in my diet.

It's on the vegetable spectrum. It's less severe than minerals, which are also on the vegetable spectrum.

The vegetable spectrum includes things that grow in the ground, on trees, or don't grow.

It's closely related to the animal spectrum, which includes things that move around and think or that grow in one place and don't move or think.

I consider to tomatoes to be pathetic weaklings, deserving only to be crushed underfoot

I consider them delicious; Especially when served fresh with mozzarella, oil, vineger, some basil or parsley, and a little pepper.
