fleshy fruits
Juicy edible growths
Fleshy fruits are fruits with soft, pulpy tissue surrounding the seeds—as opposed to dry fruits like nuts or pods.
The category includes berries, drupes (stone fruits like peaches and cherries), and pomes (apples and pears).
Tomatoes are technically fleshy fruits, though we treat them as vegetables in the kitchen.
