Is tomato a fruit?

I picked up these tomatos in my garden early this morning, I am going to use it to make tomato sauce that I use during the year. I enjoy doing my own tomato sauce, it is healthier than the ones we buy at the supermarket.

I read that tomato is a fruit because it has similar biological growth and development characteristics as fruits, but its nutritional characteristics are closer to vegetables, such as the amount of carbohydrates in tomatoes that are closer to other vegetables than to other fruits. So I think we can consider tomato a little of both, fruit and vegetable.

  1. I don’t like fresh tomatoes but certainly love the sauce! ?
    I can’t have a pizza without tomato sauce. I don’t make it though, my grandma had some sort of machine that would help with making it. ?
