Fruits for beginnersMost plants have fruits. Fruits are the part of the plant that contain the seeds. Plants use the fruits to spread theseeds. For example a bird that eats a cherry will drop the seed at some distance from the tree. Then another cherrytree can start growing there.There are many types of fruits in the world. Almost all plants that grow in your garden or in nature have fruits. Forexample a bean is a fruit, but also an acorn is a fruit. However, usually when we talk about fruits we mean fruits thatare sweet and fleshy; the types that we eat as a snack or as a dessert. That's the type of fruits we will discuss on thispage.In this site we introduce many fruits. Some are tropical fruits, while others are temperate fruits that grow in coolerclimates. To make it easier the fruits are presented in alphabetical order from Apple to Watermelon. Before readingthe list, ask yourself how many fruits you know?Some fruit have more than one name. Therefore a complete alphabetical list of all English fruit names with theirsynonyms is included at the left side of the screen. Just click on a name to jump to the fruit.
