Tomato

A round red tomato with green leafy stem, representing the versatile fruit commonly used as a vegetable in cooking.

The Tomato emoji is widely used in cooking, gardening, and food prep contexts. Beyond its literal meaning, it can express disapproval or “throwing tomatoes” at something cringey or bad (a reference to booing performances). It may also appear in puns (e.g., "you’re tomato-cute") or in playful insult responses. This emoji bridges cozy kitchen vibes with meme-friendly sass, depending on tone.

It’s commonly used in:

• Cooking, especially Italian dishes or fresh produce
• Playful booing or humorous criticism
• Garden-to-table or cozy food prep content
