I’ll counter with another question: are tomatoes and peppers fruit or vegetables?

Sucrose is made up of glucose and fructose, so anything that contains sucrose contains fructose bound to glucose.

And just like fructose isn’t directly related to fruit, glucose isn’t directly related to glue. And sucrose doesn’t come from suits.

they are both. fruit is a classification based on the part of a plant (stem, leaf, fruit, etc.), while vegetable groups them by how they can be used.

Yes, that’s kind of the point of my question.
