lulabelle answered Sunday June 11 2006, 7:21 pm: Tomatoes are fruits. Here's the rule of thumb when trying to tell the difference. Anything w/seeds on the inside or outside of it (like strawberries)are fruits and that also includes squash, cucumbers, pumpkins (which is a squash), eggplants, corn, etc. The reason that fruits like tomatoes and eggplants are lumped in w/vegetables is how they are used by cooks. So, grocery stores lump them in w/vegetables. I know, weird but true. Good luck!

Are tomatoes a fruit or a vegetable? Ponder that--and that's exactly what the Supreme Court did beginning on April 24, 1893 when tomatoes were elevated to the highest perch in the land, the United States Supreme Court. It's hard to imagine that tomatoes were the subject of a Supreme Court decision that officially labeled them a vegetable. here's the website i found it on -- [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) ... yeahh. me? i personally think it's a fruit, but whatever!
