in my world i jz consider tomatoes as decoration on dishes~
To really figure out if a tomato is a fruit or vegetable, the big question to ask is, DOES IT HAVE SEEDS?
If the answer is yes, then technically, you have a FRUIT. This, of course, makes your tomato a fruit. It also makes cucumbers, squash, green beans and walnuts all fruits as well. VEGETABLES such as, radishes, celery, carrots, and lettuce do NOT have seeds (that are part of what we eat) and so they are grouped as vegetables.

Awesome blog, Mr. Jaya! but why are cherries not part of the list? :( *sob*
I thought tomatoes can help you lose weight as well... I got that fact from some magazine ages ago
welcome cheri! if it's any comfort, cherry tomatoes are included as tomatoes.
