The term ‘fruit’ is inexact, botanically fruit is the ripen ovary, with seeds, of a flowering plant; in cooking ‘fruit’ ususally refers to just the sweet, fleshy plant fruits like apples and oranges.

Some plants that are botanically vegetables are considered fruits for cooking (rhubarb), and some botanical fruits are treated as vegetables (squash).

A nut is a dry fruit with one seed, like a coconut.

The apple blossom is the state flower of Michigan and Arkansas.

The World's Great Wine Grapes, Wine Poster
The World's Great Wine Grapes, Wine Poster

Botanically grapes are a true berry, a fleshy fruit produced from a single ovary. They grow on the perennial and deciduous woody vines of the genus Vitis.

Grapes can be purple or white, and grown to be eaten raw or preserved as jam, juice, jelly, vinegar, drugs, wine, grape seed extracts, and grape seed oil. A dried grape is called a raisin.

The symbolic meaning of grapevines and grapes are related to Dionysus and Christ such as blessing and fertility, victory over death and the joy of heaven as the blood of Christ in the Mass. The first recorded miracle of Jesus was turning water into wine for the Wedding Feast.

Writer John Steinbeck used the symbolism of grapes as the hope for a new beginning in his novel The Grapes of Wrath, the title phrase being borrowed from Julia Ward Howe's lyrics of The Battle Hymn of the Republic, and in turn inspired by the Book of Revelation 14:19-20, an apocalyptic appeal to divine justice and deliverance from oppression in the final judgment.

Coconuts are the seed of the coconut palm, and native to tropical regions. The white flesh is edible and if soaked in water will form what is known as coconut milk; oil from coconuts can be used for cooking and making margarine (butter substitute).

The word coconut was from the Portuguese traders who named it for a fairy tale hairy monster used to frighten children, “Coco”; the English added “nut”. The Indian name in Sanskrit, kalpa vriksha, translates as “the tree which provides all the necessities of life”; the coconut is known in Malay as pokok seribu guna, “the tree of a thousand uses”; in the Philippines, the coconut is called the “Tree of Life”.
