Aggregate Fruits

Fun fact: Strawberries are not berry fruits. They are aggregate fruit.

Though raspberries or strawberries have “berries” in their names, they are not berry fruits. Instead, these are aggregate fruits from multiple ovaries (carpels) in the same flower. They have 4 minor groups in aggregate fruits: drupelets, achenes, follicles, and samaras.

Drupelets and achenes are 2 more popular ones with raspberry – a type of drupelet containing many small drupes in the flesh, while strawberry and their many species – are an achene fruit featuring a small, dry, and 1-seeded fruit.
Another thing to note about this type is that not all flowers with many ovaries can produce aggregate fruits, as some ovaries cannot stick together to form a fruit. Other common examples of aggregate fruits are custard apples and soursop.

5. Multiple Fruits

Pineapple and jackfruit are 2 particular multiple fruits.

The main difference between this fruit type and aggregate fruits is that multiple fruits can grow from numerous single flowers, while aggregate fruits develop from many ovaries in 1 single flower. In botany terms, various fruits are produced from all flowers in an inflorescence.

Numerous pineapple types, mulberry, jackfruit, and fig are good examples of this type. And similar to other fruit types, multiple fruits have various benefits for improving your health.

6. Melons

Flavors, skin, and pulp colors of melon fruits are varied. But they are the best refreshing fruit for summer.

There are various types of melons, but they represent fruits with a hard, thick rind and soft flesh. The most common ones are watermelons, honeydew, and cantaloupe.

Originating in Africa, melon has a very long history and is closely linked to ancient Egyptians. Around 1359 to 1120 BC, they were brought to Europe, where early European settlers grew honeydew in the 1600s.
Nowadays, China, India, Turkey, and Iran are big countries that cultivate melons. As a whole, melons are the perfect fruits for hot summer, thanks to their sweet and juicy fleshes. But their specific flavors are varied based on melon cultivars.
