Forums · Tomato?
The tomato is a plant in the Solanaceae or nightshade family. The taxonomic name is either Solanum lycopersicum or Lycopersicon esculentum depending on the reference. Originating in South and Central America, the tomato is now grown world-wide for its brightly coloured (usually red, from the pigment lycopene) edible fruits. The word tomato derives from Nahuatl tomatl (IPA /tɔ.matɬ/).

I say it is a veggie because it doesn't taste sweet to the human tongue. It might be a fruit because of its characteristics, but it just doesn't taste or simply just doesn't feel like a fruit. I think it is a fruit outcast. It's the same thing with an avocado. It just doesn't belong with the other sweet fruit.

I totally agree on that.
@ Pearldrum: That's what I meant with the not fitting in part.

Dude... Did you even read Dreams post? apart from the taste, it fits pretty much every single feature of a fruit.
It's a different tasting fruit. Why is that so hard to understand for you people?
