Fleshy fruits could
be of several different descriptions
or type, but major category comes
to mind right away: drupes, berries,
and pomes. 
These are the variety that offers
“fleshy material" around
the “stone" and also they
derive from the single ovary. So they
can be considered simple fruits. The
examples for the fleshy simple fruits
are,
v Berries - Tomato, Banana, Grapes
A berry is a fleshy fruit that carries
no stony layer in the any fruit, but
also contains one to many seeds. A
good example of classic berries includes
tomato and grapes.
The berries that are developed in
citrus flowers have carries exceedingly
oily surface layers over a pithy subtending
layer. A specialized berry in citrus
is referred as a hesperidium. Another
example includes lemon, orange, lime
and grapefruit. In these, the compound
is a pistil forms of fruit and also
have the individual "sections"
are the ovaries of carpals that are
fused into that one pistil.
Other specialized berries develop
from flowers with the inferior ovaries.
These will, of course, have the accessory
layers contributed by surrounding
receptacle and other necessary tissues.
A very large group of well-known examples
include watermelon, cucumber, squash
and pumpkin. In these referred plants
the specialized berry is known as
pepo. In watermelon people love eating
the true fruit. For pumpkin, cucumber,
and squash people generally prefer
the accessory rind rather than the
slimy actual fruit.
v Drupes - Almond, Plum, Peach
The drupe is a type of fleshy fruit
that has a stony inner layer surrounding
(normally) a single seed.
Drupe fruit has a pit. Examples include
cherry, peach and coffee. In some
examples, coconut and almond are good,
it is often sold just the pit in the
store as people love to eat the seed
rather than the fleshy layers of fruits.
v Pomes - Pears, Apples
Another type of healthy fleshy fruit
is known as the Pome. This fruit is
consists of a cartilaginous core as
the true fleshy fruit, and it is surrounded
by a fleshy good accessory layer.
The good examples of pomes are found
in pear, apple and quince. People
tend to love eating the fleshy receptacle,
but toss the true fruit...dispersing
its contained seeds. Pomes come from
the actual inferior ovaries.
The apple comes out from only one
flower, but it carries five carpals
in its pistil that form cartilaginous
core. It has good surrounded by fleshy
receptacle tissue. Hence the origin
of the apple is simple. Its composition
is accessory, and its description
is fleshy Pome.
The mulberry forms from a short stalk
of flowers, each flower producing
one fruit let, that fuse together
to form one mulberry. So the mulberry
is a multiple, true, fleshy drupe.
These types of fruits also contain
a soft per carp but they do not come
from flowers containing a single ovary,
but from single flowers with many
carpals or ovaries. Some examples
of these types of fruits include,
v Strawberries
v Blackberries
These are fleshy multiple fruits
that comes from compound independent
flowers. The examples of these type
of fruits includes,
v Figs
v Pineapple |
