What does TOMATO mean in Scrabble?
noun
A soft, juicy, usually red fruit grown on a vine and eaten raw, cooked or made into sauce.
Botanically the tomato is a berry, though cooks treat it as a vegetable in salads, soups and pasta sauces. It came from the Americas, and European growers at first feared it was poisonous because it belongs to the nightshade family. Today it is among the most widely grown garden crops, in many shapes from small cherry types to large beefsteaks.
