Are tomatoes fruits or vegetables?

Question

ive always wondered about what tomatoes really were, sometimes my freinds would tell me that they were actually discovered to be fruits but then again my freinds tell me that there "OBVIOUSLY VEGETABLES!"

so please help lol

Answer 1

Tomatoes are a veggie, even though they have seeds and grow on a vine like fruit. But Not all veggies grow under ground. Many veggies do grow on vines, and have seeds.

So if fruits grown on vines & have seeds, does that make cucumbers, grapes, squash, and zuccinni fruits even tho they're veggies?!!!!! Some one answer me THAT

Answer 2

Fruits, they don't grow under ground.

Answer 3

Fruit

Answer 4

They are fruit because they have seeds and are grown on a vine.  

Answer 5

They are technically fruits but have recently been reclassified by the FDA as a vegetable or a fruit.

Answer 6

Plant scientists say tomatoes are fruits because they contain seeds. However, most nutritionists think of tomatoes as vegetables because they contain so few calories compared to other fruits. A medium apple, for example, contains about 80 calories while a medium tomato contains only 20 calories.
