Here are some fruits that are considered edible in some [[cuisine]]s. The definition of fruit for these lists is a '''culinary fruit''', i.e. "Any sweet, edible part of a plant that resembles fruit, even if it does not develop from a floral ovary; also used in a technically imprecise sense for some sweet or sweetish vegetables, such as rhubarb, that resemble a true fruit or are used in cookery as if they were a [[:wiktionary:fruit|fruit]]." Note that many ''[[fruit|true fruits]]'' are considered to be [[vegetable]]s in the [[food|culinary]] sense (for example: the [[tomato]]), and hence do not appear in this article. There exist also many fruits that are edible; however, for various reasons have not become popular. For inedible fruits, please see [[list of inedible fruits]].
== Temperate fruits ==
[[Fruit]]s of [[temperate]] climates are almost always borne on [[tree]]s or [[woody]] [[shrub]]s or [[liana]]s. They will not grow adequately in the [[tropics]], as they need a period of cold (a '''chilling requirement''') each year before they will flower. The [[apple (fruit)|apple]], [[pear]], [[cherry]], and [[plum]] are the most widely grown and eaten, owing to their adaptability. Many other fruits are important regionally but do not figure prominently in commerce. Many sorts of small fruit on this list are gathered from the wild, just as they were in [[Neolithic]] times.
=== Rosaceae family ===
The Family [[Rosaceae]] dominates the temperate fruits, both in numbers and in importance. The pome fruits, stone fruits and brambles are fruits of plants in Rosaceae.
The [[pome]] fruits:

=== Berries ===
In non-technical usage, '''[[berry]]''' means any small fruit that can be eaten whole and lacks objectionable seeds. The '''bramble fruits''', [[compound fruit]]s of [[genus]] ''[[Rubus]]'' (blackberries), are some of the most popular pseudo-berries:

</div>
== Podocarps ==
Podocarps are conifers in the family [[Podocarpaceae]]. The seed [[conifer cone|cones]] are highly modified and, in some, the seed is surrounded by fleshy scale tissue, resembling a drupe. These berry-like cone scales are eaten by birds which then disperse the seeds in their droppings and the cones can be eaten in many species. Podocarps are either half-hardy or frost tender, depending on species. Many genera are similar in that they have edible "fruits" and often don't have a common name.
