Fruits and Edible Parts:
Edible = something that can be eaten or is fit to be eaten.
We have to remember which portion of a fruit is fit to eat.
In exams you are frequently asked (at least one question or two) about the edible part of a fruit.
Here I've prepared for you a list of some important fruits and their edible parts.
