"Yes, the common tomato is in fact a fruit, and not a vegetable, although claims that it was in fact a kind of fish were proved unfounded several years ago."

melon.

paella, dragonfruit

Do fungal fruiting bodies count? If so then mushrooms, toadstools, puffballs, and shelf fungi.

it's a fruit :pYep it's a berry.
speaking of which...

Blueberry
Rasberry
Mulberry

Rose Hips

"Yes, the common tomato is in fact a fruit, and not a vegetable, although claims that it was in fact a kind of fish were proved unfounded several years ago."

Of course it's not a fish! It's a sea dwelling mammal, like the whale.

starfruit
nectarine

I want to see how many different types there are; I'll start, pear.
err... perhaps you should edit your first post and compile a list so that others can see how many different fruits there are in the world.

cantelope

i think you're thinking of cantaloupe. cantelope is where you gotta get married in a church :p

Papaya
Mountain Apples
Apple Banana

tomato

For that matter, cucumber, pumpkin, squash, zucchini, and pepper are fruits. Corn, however, is iffy.

Papaya
Mountain Apples
Apple Banana
What's a mountain apple?

Does thorn apple (Datura Stramonium) count as a friut?

err... perhaps you should edit your first post and compile a list so that others can see how many different fruits there are in the world.
I suffer from laziness and therefore can't be bothered

Richard Simmons. :)

peas,(do these count? they grow in a pod, and the pod might be considered growing them in a fruit, but i'm not shure)
I guess so. A fruit is a fertilized flower ovary. So, if they come from flowers, they're fruit. At least from the botanical point of view.

I don't know if maize and beans come from flowers, though. I just buy canned stuff :(

The pome fruits:
* Apple and crabapple (Malus spp.)
* Chokeberry also called cooking apple (Aronia spp.)
* Chokecherry (Prunus virginiana)
* Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.)
* Juneberry or saskatoon (Amelanchier spp.)
* Loquat (Eryobotrya japonica)

The stone fruits, drupes of genus Prunus:

* Apricot (Prunus armeniaca)
* Cherry, sweet, sour, and wild species (Prunus avium, P. cerasus, and others)
* Plum, of which there are several domestic and wild species; dried plums are called prunes
* Peach (of the normal and white variety) and its variant the nectarine (Prunus persica)
* Hybrids of the preceding species, such as the pluot

Berries

In non-technical usage, berry means any small fruit that can be eaten whole and lacks objectionable seeds. The bramble fruits, compound fruits of genus Rubus, are some of the most popular pseudo-berries:

* Blackberry, of which there are many species and hybrids, such as dewberry, boysenberry, and loganberry (genus Rubus)
* Raspberry, several species (genus Rubus)
* Cloudberry
* Wineberry

The true berries are dominated by the family Ericaceae, many of which are hardy in the subarctic:

* Bearberry
* Bilberry or whortleberry (Vaccinium spp.)
* Blueberry (Vaccinium spp.)
* Cranberry (Vaccinium spp.)
* Huckleberry (Vaccinium spp.)
* Lingonberry
* Strawberry Tree (Arbutus unedo)

Other berries not in the Rosaceae or Ericaceae:

Fruits of American origin

Some other tree fruits native to North America that are eaten in a small way:

* Buffaloberry (Shepherdia argenta; Elaeagnaceae), which grows wild in the prairies of Canada
* American grape: North American species (e.g., Vitis labrusca; Vitaceae) and American-European hybrids are grown where Vitis vinifera is not hardy and are used as rootstocks
* Pawpaw (Asimina triloba; Annonaceae, not to be confused with Carica papaya, which is called pawpaw in some English dialects)

Dingleberry.

That's a fruit, right?

;)

Technically, it's a berry.

watermelon, strawberry, cantelope

little known fact - watermelon is actually a vegetable.

Watermelon's official name is Citrullus lanatus of the botanical family Cucurbitaceae and it is a vegetable! It is related to cucumbers, pumpkins and squash.

http://watermelon.org/index.asp?a=dsp&htype=funn&pid=32

Has anyone mentioned egg-fruit yet? What about olives?

I just love the fact that there's such a thing as an ugli fruit... what I want to know is does it grow on an ugli tree? and if so would fallen branches from said tree be ugli sticks?

I'm sure someone has already asked but...

Is SPAM a fruit?

It's a fruit, just like the others you named. It's the ripe fertilized ovary of a flower.

I just love the fact that there's such a thing as an ugli fruit... what I want to know is does it grow on an ugli tree? and if so would fallen branches from said tree be ugli sticks?
owww...I wouldn't want to get beaten with one of those!

is boysenberry a fruit, or just a syrup flavor?

hehe

I just love the fact that there's such a thing as an ugli fruit... what I want to know is does it grow on an ugli tree? and if so would fallen branches from said tree be ugli sticks?
Why do so many people appear to have fallen out of that particular tree and hit every branch on the way down?

Richard Simmons. :)
DAMMIT! You friggin beat me to the joke. :p

Dzvarteg, keelup, kexybnberry, nectarum, ambrosioid... you didn't mention any of the best ones! They all grow on Aurora! And then there are all those from Tesovka: the gelli, santex, parasyti, ironberry, pline, apifruit, and so on. And...I could go on and on! (Those from Sdyrtixxyxzs are a bit hard to spell tho. ;))

DAMMIT! You friggin beat me to the joke. :p

Opportunities rarely pass me by. :)

cranberries
Buddhas Hand (one of the first citrus fruits, and looks damn cool)
cumquat

I guess so. A fruit is a fertilized flower ovary. So, if they come from flowers, they're fruit. At least from the botanical point of view.

I don't know if maize and beans come from flowers, though. I just buy canned stuff :(
i grow them. the maize comes from pseudo-spiklets, which can be considered flowers(it's a grass) and the beans i had listed were very similiar to peas, i think they're in the same taxa, and they do come from flowers.

Mango, Tangerine, Nectarine, Peach, Pear, Kiwi, Pineapple, Cantelope, Honeydew, Watermellon, Apple, Orange, Grapefruit, Avacado, Banana, Pomegranite, Papaya, Strawberry, Blueberry, Raspberry, Blackberry, Cranberry, Cherry, Apricot, Fig, Plum, Grape, Lemon, Lime, Pitaya, Goumi, Persimmon....

Interestingly enough; if you live in the United States, a "Tomato" is not a fruit. It was declared a "vegetable" by SCOTUS in 1893, to subject it under import tax, and protect local growers...


U.S. Supreme Court
NIX v. HEDDEN, 149 U.S. 304 (1893)

149 U.S. 304

NIX et al.
v.
HEDDEN, Collector.
No. 137.

May 10, 1893

.....[Decision]
The passages cited from the dictionaries define the word 'fruit' as the seed of plaints, or that part of plaints which contains the seed, and especially the juicy, pulpy products of certain plants, covering and containing the seed. These definitions have no tendency to show that tomatoes are 'fruit,' as distinguished from 'vegetables,' in common speech, or within the meaning of the tariff act.

There being no evidence that the words 'fruit' and 'vegetables' have acquired any special meaning in trade or commerce, they must receive their ordinary meaning. Of that [149 U.S. 304, 307] meaning the court is bound to take judicial notice, as it does in regard to all words in our own tongue; and upon such a question dictionaries are admitted, not as evidence, but only as aids to the memory and understanding of the court. Brown v. Piper, 91 U.S. 37 , 42; Jones v. U. S ., 137 U.S. 202, 216 , 11 S. Sup. Ct. Rep. 80; Nelson v. Cushing, 2 Cush. 519, 532, 533; Page v. Fawcet, 1 Leon. 242; Tayl. Ev. (8th Ed.) 16, 21.

Botanically speaking, tomatoes are the fruit of a vine, just as are cucumbers, squashes, beans, and peas. But in the common language of the people, whether sellers or consumers of provisions, all these are vegetables which are grown in kitchen gardens, and which, whether eaten cooked or raw, are, like potatoes, carrots, parsnips, turnips, beets, cauliflower, cabbage, celery, and lettuce, usually served at dinner in, with, or after the soup, fish, or meats which constitute the principal part of the repast, and not, like fruits generally, as dessert.

The attempt to class tomatoes as fruit is not unlike a recent attempt to class beans as seeds, of which Mr. Justice Bradley, speaking for this court, said: 'We do not see why they should be classified as seeds, any more than walnuts should be so classified. Both are seeds, in the language of botany or natural history, but not in commerce nor in common parlance. On the other hand in speaking generally of provisions, beans may well be included under the term 'vegetables.' As an article of food on our tables, whether baked or boiled, or forming the basis of soup, they are used as a vegetable, as well when ripe as when green. This is the principal use to which they are put. Beyond the common knowledge which we have on this subject, very little evidence is necessary, or can be produced.' Robertson v. Salomon, 130 U.S. 412, 414 , 9 S. Sup. Ct. Rep. 559.

Paella????

As in, the traditional Spanish casserolle with rice and seafood???

What tree would that grow on?

Don't forget Mayor Marion Barry .... berry ... whatever.

[/dumb joke]

I don't think I saw Grapefruit in there... and are we including variations and hybrids? In that case the list could be huge when you break Apple down into Granny Smith, Red Delicious...
