The key is lycopene content — fruit or vegetable.

Yes, tomatoes are fruit. Tomatoes, apricots, guavas and watermelons are ALL fruits.

Botanically yes. So are watermelons. In a broader sense, they both have a vegetative soul, and for over 100 years the Supreme Court has recognized the tomato as a vegetable for legal (tax) purposes (Nix vs. Hedden).

Exactly. The first sentence distracted me from reading the rest of the article. If the nutritionist didn’t know that, I am not sure I can trust the rest of what they have to say.

Technically any vegetable with seeds is a fruit. Cucumbers, peppers, etc.
