Tomatoes, along with peppers, squash, eggplant and many other "vegetables" are fruits. the definition of a vegetable is: Any plant of which the flowers, roots, tubers, leaves or stems are used as food. In common lexicon, tomatoes are considered vegetables, but botanically, fruits are a separate class.
