 fruits   ruits are the means by which flowering plants (also known as   angiosperms ) disseminate their   seeds . Edible fruits in particular have long propagated using the movements of humans and animals in a   symbiotic relationship   that is the means for   seed dispersal   for the one group and   nutrition   for the other; in fact, humans and many animals have become dependent on fruits as a source of   food . [1]   Consequently, fruits account for a substantial fraction of the world's   agricultural   output, and some (such as the   apple   and the   pomegranate ) have acquired extensive cultural and symbolic meanings. In common language usage, "fruit" normally means the seed-associated fleshy structures (or produce) of plants that typically are sweet or sour and edible in the raw state, such as  apples ,  bananas ,  grapes ,  lemons ,  oranges , and  strawberries .

 cherry tomato he  cherry tomato  is a type of small round tomato believed to be an intermediate  genetic admixture  between  wild currant-type tomatoes  and domesticated garden  tomatoes . [2]  Cherry tomatoes range in size from a thumbtip up to the size of a  golf ball , and can range from  spherical  to slightly oblong in shape. Although usually red, other colours such as yellow, green, purple, and black also exist. [3]  Those shaped like an oblong share characteristics with  plum tomatoes  and are known as  grape tomatoes . The cherry tomato is regarded as a botanical variety of the cultivated berry,  Solanum lycopersicum  var.  cerasiforme . [4]  In supermarkets, cherry tomatoes of different colors are often sold together with the phrase "mixed melody" in the name, indicating the great variance in their colors.  

 goa uava  ( / ˈ ɡ w ɑː v ə / ) [1]  is a common  tropical fruit  cultivated in many tropical and subtropical regions. [2]  The common guava  Psidium guajava  (lemon guava, apple guava) is a small  tree  in the myrtle  family  ( Myrtaceae ), native to  Mexico ,  Central America , the  Caribbean  and  northern South America . [2]  Related plants may also be called guavas; they belong to other  species  (in  Psidium ) or  genera  (in  Myrteae ), such as the pineapple guava,  Feijoa sellowiana . In 2019, 55 million  tonnes  of guavas were produced worldwide, led by  India  with 45% of the total. Botanically, guavas are  berries .  

 Kiwi iwifruit  (often shortened to  kiwi  in  North America  and  continental Europe ) or  Chinese gooseberry  is the edible  berry  of several species of  woody   vines  in the genus  Actinidia . [1] [2]  The most common  cultivar  group of kiwifruit ( Actinidia deliciosa  'Hayward') [3]  is oval, about the size of a large  hen's egg : 5–8 centimetres (2–3 inches) in length and 4.5–5.5 cm ( 1 + 3 ⁄ 4 – 2 + 1 ⁄ 4  in) in diameter. It has a thin, fuzzy, fibrous, tart but edible light brown skin and light green or golden flesh with rows of tiny, black, edible seeds. The fruit has a soft texture with a sweet and unique flavour. Kiwifruit is native to central and eastern  China . [1]  The first recorded description of the kiwifruit dates to the 12th century during the  Song dynasty . [4]  In the early 20th century, cultivation of kiwifruit spread from ...

  Pumpkin A  pumpkin  is a  cultivar  of  winter squash  that is round with smooth, slightly ribbed skin, and is most often deep yellow to orange in coloration. [1]  The thick shell contains the seeds and pulp. The name is most commonly used for cultivars of  Cucurbita pepo , but some cultivars of  Cucurbita maxima ,  C. argyrosperma , and  C. moschata  with similar appearance are also sometimes called "pumpkins". [1] Native to  North America  (northeastern  Mexico  and the southern  United States ), [1]  pumpkins are one of the oldest domesticated plants, having been used as early as 7,000 to 5,500 BC. [1]  Pumpkins are widely grown for food, as well as for aesthetic and recreational purposes. [2]   Pumpkin pie , for instance, is a traditional part of  Thanksgiving  meals in  Canada  and the United States, and pumpkins are frequently carved as  jack-o'-lante...

  Watermelon Watermelon  ( Citrullus lanatus ) is a  flowering plant  species of the  Cucurbitaceae  family and the name of its  edible fruit . A  scrambling and trailing   vine -like plant, it is a  highly cultivated  fruit worldwide, with more than 1,000  varieties . Watermelon is grown in favorable  climates  from  tropical  to  temperate  regions worldwide for its large edible  fruit , which is a  berry  with a hard rind and no internal divisions, and is  botanically  called a  pepo . The sweet, juicy flesh is usually deep red to pink, with many black seeds, although  seedless  varieties exist. The fruit can be eaten raw or  pickled , and the rind is edible after cooking. It may also be consumed as a juice or as an ingredient in mixed beverages. Kordofan  melons from  Sudan  are the closest relatives and may be  progenitors  ...

  Banana   banana  is an elongated, edible  fruit  – botanically a  berry [1] [2]  – produced by several kinds of large  herbaceous   flowering plants  in the  genus   Musa . [3]  In some countries,  bananas used for cooking  may be called "plantains", distinguishing them from  dessert bananas . The fruit is variable in size, color, and firmness, but is usually elongated and curved, with soft flesh rich in  starch  covered with a rind, which may be green, yellow, red, purple, or brown when ripe. The fruits grow upward in clusters near the top of the plant. Almost all modern edible seedless ( parthenocarp ) bananas come from two wild species –  Musa acuminata  and  Musa balbisiana . The  scientific names  of most cultivated bananas are  Musa acuminata ,  Musa balbisiana , and  Musa  ×  paradisiaca  for the hybrid  Musa acuminata  ...

  Apple An  apple  is an edible  fruit  produced by an  apple tree  ( Malus domestica ). Apple  trees  are  cultivated  worldwide and are the most widely grown species in the  genus   Malus . The  tree  originated in  Central Asia , where its wild ancestor,  Malus sieversii , is still found today. Apples have been grown for thousands of years in  Asia  and  Europe  and were brought to North America by  European colonists . Apples have  religious  and  mythological  significance in many cultures, including  Norse ,  Greek , and  European Christian  tradition. Apples grown from seed tend to be very different from those of their parents, and the resultant fruit frequently lacks desired characteristics. Generally, apple  cultivars  are propagated by clonal  grafting  onto  rootstocks . Apple trees grown without rootsto...

brinjal   ggplant   ( US ,   Canada ),   aubergine   ( UK , [1]   Ireland ) or   brinjal   ( Indian subcontinent ,   Singapore ,   Malaysia ,   South Africa ) [2] [3]   is a plant   species   in the   nightshade family   Solanaceae.   Solanum melongena   is grown worldwide for its edible fruit. Most commonly purple, the spongy, absorbent fruit is used in  several cuisines . Typically used as a  vegetable  in cooking, it is a  berry  by  botanical  definition. As a member of the genus  Solanum , it is related to the  tomato ,  chili pepper , and  potato , although those are of the  New World  while the eggplant is of the  Old World . Like the tomato, its skin and seeds can be eaten, but, like the potato, it is usually eaten cooked. Eggplant is nutritionally low in  macronutrient  and  micronutrient  content, bu...
