List of culinary fruits

Here are lists of fruits considered edible in some cuisines. The definition of fruit for these lists is a culinary fruit, i.e. "Any sweet, edible part of a plant that resembles fruit, even if it does not develop from a floral ovary; also used in a technically imprecise sense for some sweet or sweetish vegetables, such as rhubarb, that resemble a true fruit or are used in cookery as if they were a fruit." Note that many true fruits are considered to be vegetables in the culinary sense (for example: the tomato), and hence do not appear in this article. There exist also many fruits that are edible; however, for various reasons have not become popular. For inedible fruits, please see list of inedible fruits.
