What is an "aggregate fruit"?
An aggregate fruit is a type of fruit that forms from multiple ovaries of a single flower. Each ovary develops into a small, separate fruit, called a drupelet or fruitlet, which remains around a central base. These individual fruitlets combine to form a larger, clustered fruit. Examples of aggregate fruits include blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries. They are characterized by their bumpy or seeded outer surface and juicy interior. Aggregate fruits are enjoyed fresh, used in desserts, or processed into jams, jellies, and other culinary products.
