What do you find inside fruits?
That depends on the fruit! Fruits are diverse, and their insides can vary greatly. Here are a few examples:
Inside you might find:
* Seeds: Most fruits contain seeds, which are the future of the plant. These can be small and numerous like in strawberries, or large and singular like in avocados.
* Pulp: This is the fleshy part of the fruit, often juicy and sweet. The pulp is what we usually eat.
* Skin/Rind/Peel: This is the outer layer that protects the fruit. Some fruits have thin, edible skins (like grapes), while others have thick rinds (like oranges).
* Core: Some fruits have a central core, which can be tough and fibrous. It often holds the seeds.
* Pit: Some fruits have a hard, inedible pit or stone that encloses the seed. Examples include cherries, peaches, and mangoes.
Examples:
* Apple: Seeds in the center surrounded by white, juicy flesh and a core.
* Banana: No seeds, just soft, creamy flesh.
* Orange: Many small seeds within segmented, juicy flesh.
* Tomato: Many small seeds within a juicy, red pulp.
* Watermelon: Black seeds throughout the red, juicy flesh.
Fun Fact: The seeds of some fruits are edible, like the seeds of a pomegranate or a kiwi!
