Tomatoes are not, in any way, fruit; the definition of [air-quotes] 'fruit' you're thinking of also includes blueberries, pumpkins, cucumbers, avocados, peanuts, lima beans, raspberries, and arguably pinecones.

- monocasa 6y agoTo prove that tomatoes aren't a fruit, did you just link to the page showing how tomatoes can be considered a fruit? As an aside, I make a mean tomato cobbler. You just have to find a local farmer because most of the macro distributed stuff has been selected for shape and color rather than flavor.
- a1369209993 6y agoOn what basis do you conclude that that page does not also show how non-fruits such as pumpkins, berries, or chili peppers can be considered a fruit?
- monocasa 6y ago> non-fruits such as ... berries Wat
- happytoexplain 6y agoSome things are fruits in at least a botanical context and vegetables in at least a culinary context. Another prominent context that may differ is the legal one. Given all that, why are you asserting that the things on this list of fruits are "non-fruits" without giving some kind of elaboration/qualification as to the point you're making?
