Today, I was talking to my grandma and I mentioned the fact that tomatoes are technically fruit. It's been an hour and she's still yelling, accusing me of lying to her. FML

It's amazing how fired up people get over a tomato...

So either show her some proof or just let her think she's right. it can't matter that much.

How is it a fruit then? I've always thought it was a vegetable...

Technically there is no such thing as a vegetable.

I didn't know tomato is a fruit. Ha I get to learn something new everyday on FML!

I've Had so many arguments about tomatoes being a fruit and people always get so angry over it. I'm not telling them to add it to fruit salad I'm just saying technically it's a fruit.

Tomatoes are both a fruit and a vegetable. Vegetables are any plant product. It's normally applied to non-sweet or starchy ones. Fruit is the anatomical structure that holds seeds. Hence, tomatoes are both.

Specifically, tomatoes are berries.

Honestly, Granny has more important things to worry about. Just tell her she's right and move on!
