My husband and I have been arguing about the top and the bottom of a tomato...the actual fruit of the plant. Which end do YOU call the top?

My husband says the stem end is the top and I say the flower end is the top. My dad had a grocery store all my life and sold produce and I never heard the butt end of the tomato called the top; it was always the bottom and when we displayed tomatoes to sell, we were told top end up or butt end [I considered that bottom] down for display.

We are both "googlin" it for answers and I have actually seen some say the stem end as the top. So, what say you? What do you call it??

I would say the stem would be the top. They grow with the stem on top.

Stem on top. That's how they hang on the vine.

Sorry but I consider the stem end the top. Tomatoes grow hanging from the stem and the bottom is where you find "no rot" or "bottom rot". Just my opinion.

If Maggie says the "left hand side" of the mater is the top I would agree.

Sheesh, after all this, I think I will refer to it as the stem end and the flower end.
