I don't know why tomatoes are always the go-to "technically a fruit"

There are ones that are a lot weirder

Legumes are also fruits, so peanut butter is a smoothie

Heck, refried beans are a smoothie!

Because some people dont have the mindset of yhe biological(the scientific mindset) and culinary(the common mindset) seperate.

Tomato is common for it because its a fruit biologically and a vegetable culinarily.

Other examples of it in common practice is "berries". Culinarily, strawberries and raspberries are berries, and bananas arent. Biologically its the opposite.

Tomato toxic when it green, but delicious when it red. Creeping nightshade toxic when it green, but has anyone even tried it when it red? Probably delicious.
