Fruits you can steam too, surpisingly (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tomatoes

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fruits you' is the definition.
'tomatoes' can be an answer for 'fruits' (I have seen 'Red fruits ' mean 'tomatoes' so perhaps 'fruits' could also mean 'tomatoes'). I'm not sure about the 'you' bit.

'steam too surpisingly' is the wordplay.
'steam too' can be anagrammed to 'TOMATOES'.
But, I am not clear how this is indicated.

'can' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tomatoes that I've seen before include "They go well with basil and mozzarella" , "Salad fruit" , "Glossy red fruits eaten as vegetable" , "Glossy red fruit" , "Ta to some for the odd salad ingredients" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
