Can tomatoes be eaten as fruit?

As a fruit and vegetable, tomatoes have been proved by scientists to contain a variety of vitamins and nutrients. For example, tomatoes are rich in vitamins C and A, as well as folic acid and potassium. In particular, it contains lycopene, which is more conducive to human health, while some fruits such as watermelon, pomelo and apricot only contain a small amount of lycopene. Of course, people call tomatoes "fruits of love" because they really have the same effect as love and can make girls more beautiful! We can see that caring and scientifically literate mothers often let their children eat more tomatoes.

Recently, according to the American Journal of the National Cancer Institute, some American medical experts found that eating more tomatoes has a strong anti-cancer effect, even for gastric cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer, oral cancer, breast cancer and uterine cancer. This is because tomato contains an antioxidant-lycopene, which can reduce the incidence of cancer, and it also has many beneficial compounds, and the complex interaction between them enhances the ability of tomato to prevent cancer.
