Tomatoes are a common vegetable in summer. Look at their round fruits, which are similar to apples and pears. But why are they vegetables and not fruits? Here is a little story. According to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, tomatoes are vegetables and not fruits. The incident originated from the U.S. Tariff Act of 1883. The Tariff Act stipulates that imported vegetables must pay a 10% tax, but fruits do not. At that time, New York Customs considered tomatoes to be vegetables and needed to pay taxes. The importers were dissatisfied and took New York Port Customs Collector Edward L. Hedden to court in 1887, demanding the return of the taxes collected. It finally went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, and the court made its final ruling six years later. The reason why tomatoes are vegetables is that people usually cook and eat them. In terms of daily eating, tomatoes are more like vegetables.
