Fruit:

Seedlessness is an important feature of some fruits of commerce - Variations in fruit structures largely depend on the mode of dispersal of the seeds they contain - Many hundreds of fruits, including fleshy fruits like apple, peach, pear, kiwifruit, watermelon and mango are commercially valuable as human food, eaten both fresh and as jams, marmalade and other preserves - Fruits are generally high in fiber and vitamin C - Because fruits have been such a major part of the human diet, different cultures have developed many different uses for various fruits that they do not depend on as being edible.
