Fruit =P

Technically, a fruit is characterized by two things:

1. Developed in the ovary, at the base of the flower
(I didn't know that fruits had ovaries..:S)
2. Contains the seed of the plant it originated from

Some vegetables and nuts are "technically" considered fruit
For Example

THE TOMATO.



There are countless varieties tomato.. varieties that are small, big, plump, flat, green, yellow, red.. and the list goes on

Heaviest tomato: 3.51kg. :O Oklahoma, 1986
One of the lightest varieties is the Cherry tomato.. 10-15grams

I've even tried chocolate tomato..
It looks slightly brown
Which is.. off-putting and yes, as the name suggests, it does have a slight taste of chocolate. :)

Tomatoes that you'd find in a local supermarket would be:
Truss, Cherry, Roma, Kumato (has a greenish colour), and of course the normal tomato (which is most likely the Globe Tomato)

Tomato:
Contains the seed of the original plant (TICK)
Developed in the ovaries (How would I know? :S)

Banana.




Commonly thought of as fruit, but in fact, it's a herb :)
Katy Perry providing free advertising for a banana..

If you bought a normal banana from Safeway or Coles.. it would probably be the 'Cavendish' variety
Bananas naturally contain seeds..But, because it would be so annoying and difficult to eat, modern man has again warped nature..
We've cultivated a new breed- Seedless and it would be very uncommon to find bananas with seeds in this day and age

India is the worlds largest producer of banana: Close to 22 Million Tonnes in 2007

Banana leaves are used in asian cuisine
Bananas also have a variety of colours.. Red, Yellow and Green

There are many more exceptions to the world of fruit
However "normal" fruits, of them there are hundreds and hundreds of types.
