Technically, tomatoes are fruits because they contain the means to reproduce. The tomato we know is the "fruit" of the tomato plant. Usually what we call vegetables are the leaves, roots, stalks of plants that dont contain reproductive parts.
"In 1893, the United States Supreme Court ruled the tomato was a "vegetable" and therefore subject to import taxes. The suit was brought by a consortium of growers who wanted it declared a vegetable to protect U.S. crop development and prices. "
So... like..... whatever.. n stuff.
