eli5 why the tomato is not a vegetable
In: 0
There are multiple definitions of “vegetable”. One of them is “Non-fruit plant based food”. A different one is “plant based food”. A different one is “things the government is allowed to tax as a vegetable”.
Tomatoes fail the first definition, but pass the second and third definition. So the tomato is both a vegetable and a fruit, depending on who is being asked and why the question is asked.
