Tomatoes are vegetables or fruit ?
Debate about tomatoes also appeared in the court of the US Supreme Court. His party questioned whether tomatoes are classified as fruit or vegetables. This question arose after the fruit importer argued about the status of tomatoes. When tomatoes are classified as fruit, tomatoes are subject to an import tax of 10%. They also protest about this.
Viewed from a botanical point of view or the science of plants, tomatoes include fruits because they contain seeds. Not vegetables that refer to other parts of plants such as stems, leaves, roots and flower buds.
Likewise in a culinary way where vegetables are usually served in savory dishes. While the fruit is processed into a dessert, snack or drink. Judging from this principle, tomatoes are more suitable for vegetable groups because they are usually added to savory dishes.
This debate ended after the court ruled that tomatoes were classified as vegetables with the implementation of taxes following the rules. This decision also looks at the use of tomatoes so far in the culinary field. Tomatoes are used more like vegetables in salads, soups and sandwiches. Not like fruit in cake, ice cream or dessert

The debate is really interesting. I place tomatoes same as onion, since they can be eaten raw and with vegetables.
Tomatoes are fruits, but often prepared and eaten like vegetables!
in my country they are vegetables
Similar debate happened in India for Milk products especially sweets when they introduced GST. Milk has no GST, 5 % on dairy Product but if products made of condensed milk then it is 18%.
It is so silly and feels like no brainier to imposes same tax for all products of same kind but when policy makers are seeing from 10000 feet high, small things like status of tomato is not visible to them. Someone should tell them "The devil is in the details".
O yes. Those tomatoes make me longing for sun-riped tomatoes.

A fruit is a product of a tree or plant that contains seed and a vegetable is a plant of part of a plant, so it is a fruit.
