Old saying — Education can teach you that a tomato is a fruit but it takes wisdom to know not to put it in a fruit salad. :=)

“The following are technically fruits: avocado, beans, peapods, corn kernels, cucumbers, grains, nuts, olives peppers, pumpkin, squash, sunflower seeds and tomatoes. Vegetables include celery (stem), lettuce (leaves), cauliflower and broccoli (buds), and beets, carrots and potatoes (roots).”

That may be but I’m not putting tomatoes and avocados in my fruit salad.
