Tomatoe

The same goes for the tomato. From a biological point of view, it is born and grows like a fruit, but we tend to consider it as a vegetable, since it is most often used in salty preparations. The question could also arise for avocado, eggplant, peppers, cucumber, zucchini or olive, which are fruits in the strict sense of the term and yet appear as vegetables in all classifications.

Some vegetables are therefore fruits, and most fruits could be considered vegetables, since they are part of a vegetable plant.

Finally, we can clearly see that two logics confront each other: scientific reading on the one hand, and practicality on the other. In fact, nobody is completely wrong and everyone is more or less right: the tomato is a fruit but it is not really inappropriate to store it with the other vegetables, especially when preparing the meal .

Whatever your camp, do not prohibit yourself from eating tomatoes at any time during the meal, including dessert!
