What is "pulp"?

Pulp refers to the soft, fleshy, and often juicy interior of fruits that surrounds the seeds, core, or other structural elements. It is the edible part of the fruit that is typically rich in nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. Pulp varies in texture, consistency, and flavor depending on the type of fruit and its ripeness. In some fruits, such as oranges and mangoes, the pulp is smooth and succulent, while in others, like kiwis and passion fruits, it may contain small seeds or granules. Pulp is commonly consumed fresh, juiced, or used as an ingredient in various culinary preparations, such as desserts, smoothies, and sauces.
