Are clementines fruits or vegetables?

Clementines are fruits, specifically a type of citrus fruit. They are closely related to oranges and tangerines, and are believed to have originated in North Africa. Clementines are small, easy to peel, and have a sweet, juicy taste that makes them a popular snack.

It is a common misconception that all fruits are sweet and all vegetables are savory. In reality, fruits are defined as the mature ovary of a flowering plant, usually containing seeds, while vegetables are the edible parts of a plant, such as leaves, stems, and roots. By this definition, clementines clearly fall into the category of fruits.
