A simple fruit is classified in this category if it develops from a single ovary containing one or more carpels and may or may not include additional modified accessory floral structures. It is either fresh or a dry fruit. Fleshy foods are often edible and seen in your local super market. The three main kinds of fleshy fruit are the berry, the drupe, and the pome.

Examples:
- grapes
- tomatoes
- oranges
- lemons
- cucumbers
- peaches
- plums
(Tomatoes are classified in the berry category because the ovary wall of the carpel becomes almost completely fleshy at maturity)
