The botanical definition of fruit is a seed-bearing part of a flowering plant or tree that can be eaten as food.

Types of Fruit

Fruits can be eaten raw, frozen, stewed, cooked, or dried. All fruits may be classified into three major groups: simple, aggregate, or multiple.

Simple Fruits = one fruit that has developed from the ovary of a single flower. Simple fruits may either be fleshy, like plums and peaches, or dry, such as walnuts and hazelnuts.

Aggregate Fruits = a fruit formed from several ovaries of one flower that produces many tiny fruits clustered tightly together.

Multiple Fruits = a fruit formed from the fusion of the ovaries of many different flowers which develop closely together to form one bigger fruit.

Note: False fruits or accessory fruits are another kind of fruit that is not formed from the ovary, but from a different part of the flower. These fruits may be simple, aggregate, or multiple fruits. For example, strawberries would be considered an aggregate fruit, as well as an accessory fruit since much of the fleshy fruit part does not come from the ovary.
