Reply to comment by DatTF2 in TIL strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries do not qualify as “berries” as defined by botanists, yet kiwis, bananas, and tomatoes do. At least blueberries are indeed berries. by Aequitas05

I've had home grown cherry and campari (sized, at least) tomatoes, and while they are sweet, it's relative; like a vidalia onion is 'sweet' in comparison to a normal white onion, it's not what anyone would call sweet itself.

I love tomatoes. I've grown some (very few; stupid birds/bugs/deadly sky laser), I've had a bunch of heirloom varieties I can't remember the names of, but none of them would fit in what's generally referred to as fruit salad.

Depends on the variety. Not all cherry tomatoes are super sweet but a couple I have grown have had a really high sugar content, really sweet and tangy.

I would agree that most tomatoes don't belong in a fruit salad, however there are a couple that could.
