Fruit (disambiguation)
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. In broad terms, a fruit is a structure of a plant that contains its seeds. The term has different meanings dependent on context. In non-technical usage, such as food preparation, fruit normally means the fleshy seed-associated structures of certain plants that are sweet and edible in the raw state, such as apples, oranges, grapes, strawberries, juniper berries and bananas, or the similar-looking structures in other plants, even if they are non-edible or non-sweet in the raw state, such as lemons and olives. Seed-associated structures that do not fit these informal criteria are usually called by other names, such as vegetables, pods, nut, ears and cones. In biology (botany), on the other hand, a "fruit" is a part of a flowering plant that derives from specific tissues of the flower, mainly one or more ovaries. Taken strictly, this definition excludes many structures that are "fruits" in the common sense of the term, such as those produced by non-flowering plants (like juniper berries, which are the seed-containing female cones of conifers), and fleshy fruit-like growths that develop from other plant tissues close to the fruit (accessory fruit, or more rarely false fruit or pseudocarp), such as cashew fruits. Often the botanical fruit is only part of the common fruit, or is merely adjacent to it. On the other hand, the botanical sense includes many structures that are not commonly called "fruits", such as bean pods, corn kernels, wheat grains, tomatoes, and many more. However, there are several variants of the biological definition of fruit that emphasize different aspects of the enormous variety that is found among plant fruits. Fruits (in either sense of the word) are the means by which many plants disseminate seeds. Most edible fruits, in particular, were evolved by plants in order to exploit animals as a means for seed dispersal; and many animals (including humans to some extent) have become dependent on fruits as a source of food. Fruits account for a substantial fraction of world's agricultural output, and some (such as the apple and the pomegranate) have acquired extensive cultural and symbolic meanings.

Answered by bec_ker6 - Thu Sep 20 13:08:46 2007 Whats the difference between sugar in fruit and table sugar? Q. I recently heard that sugar in fruit is the same as table sugar. I just have not been able to accept that. I mean if it is the same then why not have a cookie instead of that fruit smoothie. If the sugar in fruit is the same as table sugar then does that make fruit fattening? Please give me some input on this as I am totally confused. Asked by taylasky - Sat Mar 8 13:29:25 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Yes, sometimes fruit can be a worse choice than something else. It depends on the fruit. Some is good for you, like plums, nectarines, peaches, or bananas and apples. But others are not a good choice to eat a lot of, like pears, when you digest them they turn into sugar when they break down so they are not as healthy as other fruit, but they are better than eating a piece of cake or a cookie. Just eat them in moderation. I just recently found this out and It shocked me too! I hope this info was helpful.
