Fruit August words

It’s a debate, nutritionist consider it a vegetable. However, since they contain seeds and grow from a flower botanically they are a fruit.
I haven’t been to the grocery store yet so this is the only fruit I have in the house!

I think seeds = fruit ✔️
Nice shot!

[Diana]

Fabulous close up Dorothy, I agree it is a fruit ;-)

[Beryl Lloyd]

Superb capture of this beautiful tomato, yes, I was always told it to be a fruit - in spite of frequently eating it as a vegetable !!

[Issi Bannerman]

I always consider it as a vegetable. But you're right, of course.

[Pat Knowles]

Well it’s big so should be ok for one meal!

[Carole Sandford]

It is considered a fruit. I can’t eat them, not that I dislike the taste, but I can’t bear the texture.

[Babs]

I have always known it as a fruit.

[Joan Robillard]

Good capture

[Julie]

Looks delicious. Great job on getting the color perfect!

[eDorre]

Lovely

[Kathy A]

Nice shot and I agree its a fruit

[Brooke Lindsay]

@carole_sandford out of curiosity, can you tolerate products made from the tomato’s, like sauce? (A few people in my family hate the texture of fresh tomato’s but don’t mind them once they have been processed)

[Brooke Lindsay]

They are defined as a fruit but the government taxes them like a vegetable for whatever that is worth!

[Dorothy]

@blackmutts
Aren’t veg and fruit taxed the same? Our governor recently did away with our tax on food!

[Barb]

What a gorgeous tomato!

[Barb]

@carole_sandford That's interesting, Carole. I can do tomatoes, but texture is a big thing for me. I tend to like crunchy things. Mushy, no!

[Barb]

@blackmutts And, yes, I have a few in my family like yours...sauce okay, tomato...NO!

[Carole Sandford]

@bjywamer yep me too🤔

@illinilass I used to listen to a very fun economic podcast called Planet Money when I had more time, and they had an episode about how the government decided to tax a tomato as a vegetable… but that’s all I know! I think different states have different policies but doing away with tax on food seems like a good decision in my mind!
