Is the tomato a fruit or vegetable? Technically speaking, the tomato grows on a vine which classifies it as a fruit. However, in the culinary world, it is nearly always grouped with vegetables. Though tomatoes are most often found in savory dishes, there are exceptions--such as a spiced bread pudding and tropical fruit salsas -- that use the tangy sweetness of tomatoes in wonderful ways.

Regardless of which tasty dish the diverse tomato finds itself in, one thing remains: tomatoes are a fantastically healthy addition to anyone's diet. A reliable source of vitamins and minerals, the tomato is especially notable for being high in vitamin C and a good source of vitamin A.
