Vegetable or Fruit?

"Scientifically speaking, a tomato is definitely a fruit. True fruits are developed from the ovary in the base of the flower, and contain the seeds of the plant (though cultivated forms may be seedless)." -Oxford Dictionary

"Tomatoes are the major dietary source of the antioxidant lycopene, which has been linked to many health benefits, including reduced risk of heart disease and cancer." - Healthline

"Tomatoes are a good source of fiber, providing about 1.5 grams per average sized tomato." -Healthline

"Tomatoes aren’t always red. They can be yellow, pink, purple, black and even white!" - NatGeo Kids
