  2. Tomatoes:Fruit? Or vegetable? • Botanically, a tomato is a FRUIT: the part we eat is the ovary, a seed sack with seeds inside, and that defines a fruit. BUT, it has less sugar than other fruits, so we don’t usually eat it like we eat other fruits. SO… • Legally, the tomato is a VEGETABLE: in 1893, the US Supreme Court declared tomatoes a vegetable because we eat them in salads and with dinner, like other vegetables. Why did the Supreme Court care? There were import taxes on vegetables, but not on fruits. Tomato information source: www.ars.usda.gov/Services/docs.htm?docid=16646

  3. Most Americans eat their tomatoes processed in ketchup, pasta sauce or salsa…but they are great all by themselves. Give one a try! Try the Harvest of the Month lunch with an open mind… and don’t forget to thank your server!
