      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit

      In common language and culinary usage, fruit normally means the seed-associated fleshy structures (or produce) of plants that are typically sweet (or sour) and edible in the raw state, such as apples, bananas, grapes, lemons, oranges, and strawberries. In botanical usage, the term fruit includes many structures that are not commonly called as such in everyday language, such as nuts, bean pods, corn kernels, tomatoes, and wheat grains.

      These are strange times for Fruit club. Strange times…

      We don’t usually eat the wheat’s fruit. Instead we use expensive machines to get every last of it away from the grain.
