"Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing not to use it in your fruit salad." –Miles Kingston

Yes, tomatoes are fruits, but they have a lot of vegetable-like qualities, and are often called a culinary vegetable, hence the confusion. Tomatoes are well known for their lycopene content, an antioxidant which helps fight free radicals; lycopene has also been linked to helping skin protect itself against harmful UV rays. Tomatoes come in a variety of colors, ranging from red to yellow, orange, green or brown. Tomatoes are also rich in Vitamin C, an essential nutrient for the immune system.
