A fruit is the part of a flowering plant that contains the seeds. The skin of a fruit may be thin, tough, or hard. Its insides are often sweet and juicy. But some fruits, including nuts, are dry. Fruits develop from a plant’s flowers. Some foods that people call vegetables are actually fruits. For example, cucumbers, squashes, and tomatoes are all fruits. They contain seeds, while true vegetables do not. True vegetables are the stems, leaves, or roots of plants.
