EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Fleshy fruits include drupes, berries, pome, pepo, and hesperidium. A drupe has one seed, also known as a pit, which arises from hardened endocarp or inner ovary walls (coconut, cherries, olive, peach, avocado), whereas a berry contains many seeds with a thin skin representing the outer casing of the ovary.

Detailed explanation-2: -A drupe is a type of fruit in which an outer fleshy part surrounds a shell (what we sometimes call a pit) with a seed inside. Some examples of drupes are peaches, plums, and cherries-but walnuts, almonds, and pecans are also drupes. They’re just drupes in which we eat the seed inside the pit instead of the fruit!

Detailed explanation-3: -drupe, in botany, simple fleshy fruit that usually contains a single seed, such as the cherry, peach, and olive.

Detailed explanation-4: -In botanical language, a berry is a simple fruit having seeds and fleshy pulp (the pericarp) produced from the ovary of a single flower.

Detailed explanation-5: -The fleshy part of a fruit is called the mesocarp. It is between the fruit’s skin (exocarp) and the seeds. The juicy yellow part of the mango, for example, is the “fleshy” part of the mango. Usually, when we eat a fruit, we eat the “fleshy” part.
