彼得斯頓蕃茄節
地方性遺產
蕃茄是水果，還是蔬菜？
40,000多人前來參加彼得斯頓的蕃茄節，一起慶祝彼得斯頓最愛的水果之一。是的，水果！雖然蕃茄不甜，但它是一種水果，而不是蔬菜。因為水果在科學上的定義為，任何含有植物種子的多肉物質。而蕃茄內有種子，所以它是水果；同理可證，黃瓜、青椒及南瓜都是水果。雖然我們常將以它們的食用方式，而將它們視為蔬菜。我們常認為水果是甜的，這是一個r便利的方式，幫助我們區分各式各樣的食用植物。
不論蕃茄是蔬菜或是水果，它都是賓州彼得斯頓居民的最愛。您最愛吃的水果是那一樣？
Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable?
More than 40,000 people come to the Pittston Tomato Festival to celebrate one of Pittston's favorite fruits. That's right, fruits! Although the tomato is not sweet, it is a fruit rather than a vegetable. That's because science calls a fruit any fleshy material covering the seeds of a plant. The tomato has seeds inside, so it is a fruit -- so are cucumbers, green peppers, and squash. We often refer to them as vegetables, though, because of the way they taste. We tend to think of fruits as sweet; it's a handy way to distinguish between the different kinds of plants that we eat.
The people of Pittston, Pennsylvania, love the tomato, whether it is a fruit or a vegetable. What's your favorite fruit?
