Fruit or Veggie? |
|
| Is a tomato a fruit
or a vegetable? A: Both. Botanically, it's a fruit but legally, it's a vegetable. Legally? Yes, the U.S. Supreme Court in 1893 ruled that because a tomato is eaten during the course of a meal--and not for dessert--it could be classified as a vegetable and therefore could be subjected to import tariffs like other vegetables. (Fruit was exempt from tariffs.) |
