Fruit
The term fruit has different meanings depending on context. In
botany, a fruit is the
ripened ovary—together with
seeds—of a
flowering plant. In many
species, the fruit incorporates the ripened ovary and surrounding tissues. Fruits are the means by which flowering plants disseminate seeds. In
cuisine, when discussing fruit as
food, the term usually refers to those
plant fruits that are sweet and fleshy, examples of which include
plums,
apples and
oranges. However, a great many common
vegetables, as well as nuts and
grains, are the fruit of the plant species they come from. No single terminology really fits the enormous variety that is found among plant fruits. The cuisine terminology for fruits is inexact and will remain so. The term false fruit (pseudocarp,
accessory fruit) is sometimes applied to a fruit like the
fig (a multiple-accessory fruit; see below) or to a plant structure that resembles a fruit but is not derived from a flower or flowers. Some
gymnosperms, such as
yew, have fleshy
arils that resemble fruits and some
junipers have berry-like, fleshy cones. The term "fruit" has also been inaccurately applied to the seed-containing female
cones of many
conifers.
