The difference between knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad. 😊

So the actual answer is taxes, the justification is it's part of main dishes.

It’s not a legal classification .Eventhough they don’t taste like a fruit everyone knows it’s classified as a fruit.

Most any "vegetable" that has seeds inside is a fruit

Well, my gut has always classified them as veggies... So it's nice to know that's legally established by precedent.

There is a recipe that's a sweet tomato dumpling, it's really good.

I thought it was because they contained seeds and developed from a flower ?

I think it had to do with serving pizza in public schools; if tomato sauce is a vegetable then pizza is practically a health food. eye roll

I thought they were classified as berries - because their seeds are spread in the interior of the tomato.
