Are green onions fruits or vegetables?

Green onions, also known as scallions or spring onions, are vegetables. They are part of the Allium family, which also includes onions, garlic, and shallots. Green onions are usually harvested before the bulb has formed, and are consumed for their long, green leaves and small, white bulbs. They have a mild flavor and are commonly used in Asian cuisine, salads, and garnishes.

Although green onions are often confused with chives, which are also part of the Allium family, they are not the same. Chives have a thinner leaf and a milder flavor than green onions, and are typically used as a garnish or in dishes such as soups and sauces.
