According to botanists (those who study plants) a fruit is the part of the plant that develops from a flower. It's also the section of the plant that contains the seeds. The other parts of plants are considered vegetables. These include the stems, leaves and roots — and even the flower bud. The following are technically fruits: avocado, beans, peapods, corn kernels, cucumbers, grains, nuts, olives peppers, pumpkin, squash, sunflower seeds and tomatoes. Vegetables include celery (stem), lettuce (leaves), cauliflower and broccoli (buds), and beets, carrots and potatoes (roots). https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=5&ved=0CBUQFjAE&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mayoclinic.org%2Fhealthy-living%2Fnutrition-and-healthy-eating%2Fexpert-blog%2Ffruit-vegetable-difference%2Fbgp-20056141&ei=PkPgU-SlAcfC8AHS7YDABQ&usg=AFQjCNEKK_m8ZiJYUF1sqUrJrnKjH40dGQ&sig2=VSepdLJbFJzaAGhZZLr4ww 12 Likes |

kolamilan: Are tomatoes fruits or are they vegetables? Also, are there any other fruits that are treated like vegetables?To really figure out if a tomato is a fruit or vegetable, you need to know what makes a fruit a fruit, and a vegetable a vegetable. The big question to ask is, DOES IT HAVE SEEDS? If the answer is yes, then technically, (botanically) you have a FRUIT. This, of course, makes your omato a fruit. It also makes cucumbers, squash, green beans and walnuts all fruits as well. 1 Like |

Botanically, a tomato is a fruit: the ovary, together with its seeds, of a flowering plant. However, the tomato has a much lower sugar content than other edible fruits, and is therefore not as sweet. Typically served as part of a salad or main course of a meal, rather than at dessert, it is considered a vegetable for most culinary uses. One exception is that tomatoes are treated as a fruit in home canning practices: they are acidic enough to process in a water bath rather than a pressure cooker as vegetables require. |
