(Redirected from List of fruits)
 


This list contains the names of fruits that are considered edible either raw or cooked in various cuisines. The word fruitisused in several different ways. The definition of fruit for this list is a culinary fruit, defined as "Any edible and palatable part of a plant that resembles fruit, even if it does not develop from a floral ovary; also used in a technically imprecise sense for some sweet or semi-sweet vegetables, some of which may resemble a true fruit or are used in cookery as if they were a fruit, for example rhubarb."[a][1]

Many edible plant parts that are considered true fruits in the botanical sense are not considered to be fruits. They are classified as vegetables in the culinary sense (for example: the tomato, zucchini, and so on), and hence they do not appear in this list. Similarly, some botanical fruits are classified as nuts (e.g. brazil nut), and do not appear here either. This list is otherwise organized botanically.
