Fruits

Dried fruit is a fruit that has been dried, either naturally or also through use of a machine, such as a dehydrator. Raisins, plums or prunes and dates are examples of excellent dried fruits. Other fruits that may be good dried include apples, apricots, bananas, cranberries, figs, mangoes, pawpaw, peaches, pineapples, pears and tomatoes

Fleshy simple fruits could be either dry or fleshy and result from the ripening of a compound or simple ovary with only one pistil. Dry fruits could also be either dehiscent (opening to discharge seeds), or indehiscent (not opening to discharge seeds).

Fleshy aggregate fruit is otherwise called as etgerio, develops from a flower with the numerous simple pistils. A good example is raspberry, whose simple fruits are termed drupelets because each is like a good small drupe attached to receptacle. In some of the bramble fruits (example blackberry) the receptacle is elongate and part of the ripe fruits, for making blackberry an aggregate-accessory fruit.

Fleshy multiple fruit is formed from a cluster of flowers called an inflorescence. Each flower does produce a fruit, but these mature into a single mass. Examples are mulberry, pineapple, and breadfruit.
