Knowledge is knowing a tomato is not a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it into a fruit salad.
Philosophy is wondering if a Bloody Mary counts as a smoothie.

Tomatoes fit the scientific definition of fruit as they form from a flower and contain seeds. So botanically, tomatoes are fruit. However, the way we eat them and treat them in cooking means that they also fall into the legal category of vegetables.
Ah...once again the government screwed it up...
While tomatoes are scientifically fruits, they're legally classed as vegetables. That may seem surprising, but the vegetable category actually encompasses a lot more than you might think. According to Merriam-Webster, a vegetable is "a usually herbaceous plant grown for an edible part that is usually eaten as part of a meal." This means that the vegetable category includes all plant parts, like roots, leaves, and stems. Fruit, on the other hand, is only the seed-carrying part of the plant. So things like beets, spinach, and broccoli are all vegetables, and are best eaten when they're in season (find a guide here!)
From this definition, it might seem like tomatoes are unequivocally not vegetables. So, is tomato a fruit then? Not exactly. In 1893, Congress passed a tariff act putting a 10 percent tax on whole vegetables. So, to avoid paying the fee, merchants claimed that tomatoes are fruit. A decision made by the Supreme Court for the case stated that tomatoes should be classified as a vegetable instead of a fruit for the "purposes of trade and commerce," since chefs prepare them and people eat them like vegetables. This means, legally speaking, tomatoes are vegetables.

Well, yeah. Regardless of what it is.

Well yeah. Regardless of what it is...again.
