User: Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable?
Assistant: A tomato is technically a fruit. We know this because the seeds of a tomato are on the inside. However, tomatoes are typically thought of and treated as a vegetable. We roast them in the oven, add them to salads, and include them on vegetable trays with other vegetables. If you want to win a technicality content, you can call a tomato a fruit. But don't put them in a fruit salad.
