Is a green onion fruit or vegetable?

Here's why:

* Botanical Definition: Green onions are actually the bulb, stem, and leaves of the onion plant. While the bulb can be eaten, it's not fully developed like a mature onion bulb.

* Culinary Use: Green onions are used primarily for their flavor and texture, adding a fresh, pungent taste to dishes. They are not typically eaten for their sweetness or juiciness like fruits are.

So, even though it comes from a plant that produces a bulb (like a fruit), the green onion itself is considered a vegetable.
