Is a lemon a fruit or a vegetable?

Lemons are a fruit.

To be more specific, they are classified as a citrus fruit and are a type of berry. This is because they have several seeds surrounded by a fleshy fruit pulp.

Vegetables, on the other hand, are the edible parts of a plant, such as the leaves, roots, and stems. Examples of vegetables include spinach, carrots, and broccoli.

While lemons are commonly used in cooking as a flavoring agent, they are also very nutritious. Lemons are packed with vitamin C, an important antioxidant that helps boost the immune system and protect against various diseases. They are also a good source of fiber, potassium, and other beneficial plant compounds.
