Hey guys, so there was a post 3days ago about tomato to be considered a fruit or vegetable, if you said tomato is a fruit or vegetable, fruitable, vegefruit. Even though I’ve never hear of that English. You all are correct. It depends on how you look at it. Scientifically, it is considered a fruit because it develops from the ovary in d base of a flower and contains seed. But in the culinary world we consider it a vegetable because we mainly use tomato for savoury dishes 👌🏽 I hope we were able to learn something  #iCuisine #itunucuisine
