Which of these was declared a vegetable in a famous 1893 Supreme Court case?


  • Tomato:Tomatoes, despite being botanically a fruit, are classified as a "vegetable," according to the Supreme Court. The high court issued this 1893 tomato ruling in the case Nix v. Hedden. Nix filed the suit under the Tariff of 1883, which required taxes on imported vegetables — but not fruit. Nix challenged the tax on the grounds that tomatoes are not technically vegetables. The Court's unanimous opinion held that people neither eat nor prepare tomatoes like fruits — and they should be taxed accordingly. While the Court acknowledged that although the tomato is botanicaly a fruit, they should be viewed as vegetables because they are usually eaten as a main course instead of eaten as a dessert.
