INDIAN FRUITS Basmati Rice Wheat Pulses Spices Fruits Vegetables Pickles FRUITS Fruits are classified according to the arrangement from which they derive. There are four typessimple, aggregate, multiple, and accessory fruits. Simple fruits develop from a single ovary of single flower and may be fleshy or dry. Principal fleshy fruit types are the berry, in which the entire pericarp is soft and pulpy (e.g., the grape, banana and blueberry) and the drupe in which the outer layers may be pulpy, fibrous or leathery and the endocarp hardens into a pit or stone enclosing one or more seeds ( e.g. the peach, cherry, olive, coconut and walnut). The name fruit is often applied loosely to all edible plant products and specifically to the fleshy fruits. An aggregate fruit (e.g., blackberry and raspberry) consists of a mass of small drupes (drupelets), each of which developed from a separate ovary of a single flower. A multiple fruit (e.g., pineapple and mulberry) develops from the ovaries of many flowers growing in a cluster. Accessory fruits contain tissue derived from plant parts other than the ovary; the strawberry is actually a number of tiny achenes (miscalled seeds) outside a central pulpy pith that is the enlarged receptacle or base of the flower. Rup International is bulk fruit exporters in India supplying its products to various parts of the world. The core of the pineapple is also receptacle (stem) tissue. The best known accessory fruit is the pome (e.g. apple and pear) in which the fleshy edible portion is swollen stem tissue and the true fruit is the central core. The skin of the banana is also stem tissue as is the rind of the pepo (berrylike fruit) of the squash, cucumber, and melon.
