Seeds Do Have Everything To Do With What is Considered a Vegetable or a Fruit. That's Where The Term Fruit Comes From, Like Fruit of The Loins, Something is Considered a Fruit When The Reproductive Part of The Plant is What is Edible, Which includes The Seed of The Plant. Vegetables are Usually a Reference To Another Part of The Plant That is Also Edible, Though Not Considered Part Of The Reproductive Organ or Ovary of The Plant. ie Celery Stalk, Cabbage Leaves, etc. Cooks However Have a Separate Classification Than Scientists Do. Cooks Consider Anything Sweet a Fruit, and Anything For Savory Cooking and not Sweet, is Considered a Vegetable. Therefore Technically Tomato is a Fruit from a Scientist Point of View, But When Cooking is Considered a Vegetable.

What is considered a real fruit?

By definition, a fruit is the ripened seed-bearing part of a plant when fleshy and edible. Therefore edibles such as squash, cucumbers and tomatoes are truly fruits. In less formal usage, there are two definitions of fruit, a botanical definition and an agricultural definition. Botanically speaking a tomato is a fruit. Agriculturally speaking a tomato is a vegetable. An educated person knows that a tomato is a fruit. A wise person knows not to use it in a fruit salad.
