Scientifically speaking, a tomato is definitely a fruit. True fruits are developed from the ovary in the base of the flower, and contain the seeds of the plant. That said, tomatoes are generally called ‘vegetables’ because they are used in savoury rather than sweet cooking.
There are tomatoes for fresh eating like big sandwich slicers and tiny cherry varieties. Some varieties make excellent sauces. Yellow varieties are easier on those sensitive to high acid content. Heirlooms have amazing old-time flavor, and there are disease-resistant hybrids that will grow in the most difficult gardens.
