Errbuddy wanna talk about tomatoes but the real question is, are bananas fruit? Some varietals are sweet and clearly belong in desserts and fruit salads, some are savory and starchy like potatoes, depending on the culinary tradition you come from they're used in both contexts, and they can and should have seeds but they don't due to selective breeding. Tomatoes exist in an ambiguous state, but bananas are somehow both at all times.
Bananas are technically berries, which makes them a fruit. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone think of a banana as a non-fruit before
Plantains are bananas (same species, different varietals) and in many cultures are used in savory contexts
Oh yeah, I forgot about those. Funnily enough, here in Spain bananas are plátanos and plantains are bananas
