Nix v. Hedden 149 U.S. 304 (1893) was a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States that under U.S. customs regulations the tomato should be classified as a vegetable rather than a fruit. The Court’s unanimous opinion held that the Tariff Act of 1883 used the ordinary meaning of the words fruit and vegetable instead of the technical botanical meaning.
