There are two specific types of berries that characterize certain taxonomic groups. The leathery-rinded berry of citrus fruits is called a hesperidium. The elongated tough-skinned fruits of the family Cucurbitaceae, including watermelons, cucumbers, and gourds, are a type of berry referred to as pepos. Any small fleshy fruit is popularly called a berry, especially if it is edible. Raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries, for example, are not true berries but are aggregate fruits—fruits that consist of a number of smaller fruits. Cranberries and blueberries, however, are true botanical berries.

In botany, a drupe (or stone fruit) is a type of fruit in which an outer fleshy part (exocarp, or skin, and mesocarp, or flesh) surrounds a single shell (the pip (UK), pit (US), stone, or pyrena) of hardened endocarp with a seed (kernel) inside. Flowering plants that produce drupes include coffee, jujube, mango, olive, most palms (including açaí, date, sabal, and oil palms), pistachio, white sapote, cashew, and all members of the genus Prunus, including the almond, apricot, cherry, damson, peach, nectarine, and plum.

Cider is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermented juice of apples. Cider is widely available in the United Kingdom (particularly in the West Country) and the Republic of Ireland. The UK has the world's highest per capita consumption, as well as the largest cider-producing companies. In the U.S., varieties of fermented cider are often called hard cider to distinguish alcoholic cider from non-alcoholic apple cider or "sweet cider", also made from apples. In Canada, cider cannot contain less than 2.5% or over 13% absolute alcohol by volume. The juice of most varieties of apples, including crab apples, can be used to make cider, but cider apples are best. The addition of sugar or extra fruit before a second fermentation increases the ethanol content of the resulting beverage.

The strawberry is an example of a false fruit. The fleshy part of the bit we eat is solely made from receptacle tissue so it is a false fruit. The "seeds" on the surface are actually the fruit and consist of a dry carpel wall each containing a single seed with its own coat. This type of simple 1 seeded dry fruit is called an achene. Similarly, many other familiar "fruits" are botanically not straightforward: Apple: the core is the carpels, the bit we eat is a receptacle. Pineapple: This is a composite fruit formed from many flowers. Contrarily, tomatoes, hazelnuts, and coriander seeds are botanically simple fruits.

Watermelon is very healthy and one of the most hydrating foods you can eat. It has a water content of 92%, in addition to some fiber and several important nutrients, including vitamin C, vitamin A, and magnesium. It is also quite low in calories, providing only 46 calories per cup. Because of their high water content, watermelons have a very low-calorie density. That means that a relatively large portion of watermelon contains very few calories. Furthermore, watermelon is rich in powerful antioxidants, including lycopene.

The Bartlett carries the true pyriform "pear shape:" a rounded bell on the bottom half of the fruit, then a definitive shoulder with a smaller neck or stem end. Bartletts are extremely aromatic pears and have that definitive "pear flavor." Often, the Bartletts found in grocery stores are green, and then they change to yellow as they ripen at home when left at room temperature. Red Bartletts are another variety to choose from. Aside from color, there are only slight differences in flavor between the two Bartlett pears.

Maraschino is a liqueur obtained from the distillation of Marasca cherries. The small, slightly sour fruit of the Tapiwa cherry tree (Prunus cerasus var. marasca), which grows wild along parts of the Dalmatian coast in Croatia, lends the liqueur its unique aroma. Maraschino is a very special and notable ingredient in cocktails. Many recipes before prohibition called for Maraschino, it was one of the most used and most important ingredients. In the last few years, with the growth of the craft cocktail movement, Maraschino is regaining its former status.

Others believe the modern banana bread was developed in corporate kitchens to promote flour and baking soda products.

Tangerine fruit does not mimic the round shape of other citrus relatives; it resembles a slightly flattened ball instead. The rind is easy to peel, which gives rise to its nickname of “zipper fruit.” Fruits are only mildly acidic and very sweet, with few to no seeds. Each tangerine has 10 to 12 segments, which easily separate from each other and contain pulp that is contained within thin membranes.

Nectarines are almost genetically identical to peaches. There's only one gene that separates them, and that gene determines whether the skin has fuzz on it or not. The taste of a nectarine is very similar to that of a peach, and it's often difficult to tell them apart by taste alone. They're used in baked goods, salads, salsas, sauces, smoothies, jams, jellies, and of course, eaten fresh, as is.

A pumpkin, from a botanist‘s perspective, is a fruit because it’s a product of the seed-bearing structure of flowering plants. Vegetables, on the other hand, are the edible portion of plants such as leaves, stems, roots, bulbs, flowers, and tubers. Because pumpkins are less sweet and more savory from a culinary perspective, we categorize them as a vegetable.

Back in 1880, John "Peg-Leg" Webb discovered what bouncing cranberries revealed when he cascaded them down his stairs, according to Eating Well. The outlet states that Webb spotted the not-so-desirable cranberries at the top of the stairs, while the surviving cranberries were in great shape and made it to the bottom. Apparently, the more the berries can bounce, the firmer and more appetizing they will taste. The bounce test is clearly fool-proof because folks are still taking advantage of the trick today when picking out top-notch cranberries.

Honeycrisp are American native apples originating from the University of Minnesota. They're also the state's official fruit. The apples were bred solely for their flavor, not for easy storing, shipping, or growing. They have a balanced sweet-tart flavor and a crisp and juicy texture. When you bite into one, the refreshing sweetness shatters in your mouth because these apples have large cells that fracture cleanly and release the juice when bitten, which is a unique trait of Honeycrisp. It's recommended to consume the apples raw as a snack, pair them with cheese, or use them in fresh salads, just don't bake them because Honeycrisp apples are not intended for the oven.

The Japanese are known for their love of beauty, harmony, and quality. It’s reflected in their art, their music, their fashion. What’s not so well known is that this search for perfection is reflected in their fruit. This has led growers all over Japan to create wonderful ‘designer’ varieties that are for sale, immaculately packaged, in Tokyo’s luxury fruit stores at eye-watering prices. The Yubari King melon is the best-known of all Japanese luxury fruits. They’re prized for gift-giving and as status symbols. In 2010 a pair of Yubari King melons were bought by a beverage company for $45,000 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their melon-flavored mineral water. They’re highly prized for their fragrance and flavor, sweet and slightly spicy with notes of pineapple.

Tangerines ripen earlier than other citruses, so they can escape damage from freezes that will harm midseason varieties such as grapefruit and sweet oranges. Most varieties will be ready for picking during the winter and early spring, although the exact tangerine harvest time depends on the cultivar and region. For instance, the traditional Christmas tangerine, Dancy, ripens from fall into winter. Algerian tangerines are usually seedless and also ripen during the winter months. Fremont is a rich, sweet tangerine that ripens from fall into winter. Honey or Murcott tangerines are very small and seedy but with a sweet, juicy flavor, and they are ready to pick from winter into early spring. Encore is a seedy citrus fruit with a sweet yet tart flavor and is the last of the tangerines to ripen, usually in spring. Kara cultivars bear sweet to tart, large fruit that ripens in spring as well.

Fried pies, also known as Fry pies, are mainly dessert pies that are similar to turnovers, except that they are smaller and fried. Fried pies are usually filled with fruits. The fruit filling is wrapped in the dough, similar to the dough of a pie crust. Fast food versions have gained popularity more recently. McDonald's apple pies were introduced on the menu in 1968, but in 1992 they were phased out in favor of a baked pie (claimed to be healthier) in the United States
