Detailed explanation-1: -The fleshy interior (endocarp) is composed of separate sections (carpels) filled with fluid-filled sacs (vesicles) that are actually specialized hair cells. Close-up view of the peel (exocarp) of a lemon (Citrus lemon) showing numerous pits containing volatile oil glands.
Detailed explanation-2: -"Mesocarp” may also refer to any fruit that is fleshy throughout. In a hesperidium, as is found in citrus fruit, the mesocarp is also referred to as albedo or pith. It is the inner part of the peel and is commonly removed before eating.
Detailed explanation-3: -Strawberries Are Not Citrus In addition, strawberries are an achene, not a hesperidium. They also grow in northern latitudes and do not have a thick, fleshy rind and in fact store and transport poorly compared to citrus fruits. Both citrus and strawberries are high in vitamin C and other vitamins.
