Fruit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fruit is a type of food that has seeds. Many fruits come from trees or bushes. Some fruits, like watermelons, grow out of the ground. In order to be called a fruit, the food must have seeds. For plants, fruits are used so that the plant can make new plants. When the fruit breaks apart, the seeds can get into mud and start growing.
Most fruits we eat contain a lot of water and natural sugars. They have a large amount of dietary fiber at the peel, seeds, and fibrous parts. All fruits contain iron, and they are very low in protein and fat content.
Sometimes "to bear fruit" also means "to produce results".
