Fruits come from the flowering part of the plant and contain seeds, whereas vegetables are other parts of the plant (leaves, stems, roots, bulbs). They're fruit.

They say knowledge is knowing that tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

Yes yes. Salsa, tomato based fruit salad, we know.

But that's not mutually exclusive with vegetables. Vegetable is not a botanical designation. Whether it's a vegetable or not depends on how it's typically used in cooking. Cucumbers, zuccini, and green beans all fall into the same category of being both.
