All fruits are vegetables; not all vegetables are fruit. Tomato is a fruit because it's the fleshy reproductive body of a plant containing seeds.
What's interesting about peanuts is that it seems to have the same allergenicity profile as nuts that cause allergies. Kind of odd for a legume, if you ask me.
