Aggregate Fruit
Aggregate fruit is a type of fruit that develops from a single flower with multiple ovaries. Each ovary can produce a small fruit called a drupelet, and together they form a larger fruit. Common examples of aggregate fruits include raspberries and blackberries, where each tiny segment is a separate drupelet.
These fruits are different from simple fruits, which come from a single ovary, and from multiple fruits, which form from a cluster of flowers. Aggregate fruits are often juicy and flavorful, making them popular in desserts and jams. Their unique structure contributes to their distinct taste and texture.
