PHOTO ALBUM CALLED "MEALS - BREAKFAST"
The album will be highlighting some various breakfast time meals. In this particular blog post we are focusing on fruits which you will see as browsing through the albums which are healthy hearty good habits to maintain throughout our life to eat on a regular basis. Below you will see the explanatory from Wikipedia on Fruits which is very interesting as well as a portion of the biblical terminology "Spiritual Fruit or Fruit of the Spirit" from Wikipedia.
In botany, a fruit is the seed-bearing structure in flowering plants (also known as angiosperms) formed from the ovary after flowering.
Fruits are the means by which angiosperms disseminate
seeds. Edible fruits, in particular, have propagated with the movements of humans and animals in a
symbiotic relationship as a means for
seed dispersal and
nutrition; in fact, humans and many animals have become dependent on fruits as a source of food.
[1] Accordingly, fruits account for a substantial fraction of the world's
agricultural output, and some (such as the
apple and the
pomegranate) have acquired extensive cultural and symbolic meanings.
In common language usage, "fruit" normally means the fleshy seed-associated structures of a plant that are sweet or sour, and edible in the raw state, such as
apples,
bananas,
grapes,
lemons,
oranges, and
strawberries. On the other hand, in botanical usage, "fruit" includes many structures that are not commonly called "fruits", such as
bean pods,
corn kernels,
tomatoes, and
wheat grains.
[2][3] The section of a
fungus that produces
spores is also called a fruiting body.

Botanic fruit and culinary fruit
Many common terms for seeds and fruit do not correspond to the botanical classifications. In culinary terminology, a
fruit is usually any sweet-tasting plant part, especially a botanical fruit; a
nut is any hard, oily, and shelled plant product; and a
vegetable is any
savory or less sweet plant product.
[5]However, in botany, a
fruit is the ripened ovary or carpel that contains seeds, a
nut is a type of fruit and not a seed, and a
seed is a ripened ovule.
[6]
Examples of culinary "vegetables" and nuts that are botanically fruit include
corn,
cucurbits (e.g.,
cucumber,
pumpkin, and
squash),
eggplant,
legumes(
beans,
peanuts, and
peas), sweet
pepper, and
tomato. In addition, some
spices, such as
allspice and
chili pepper, are fruits, botanically speaking.
[6]In contrast,
rhubarb is often referred to as a fruit, because it is used to make sweet desserts such as
pies, though only the
petiole (leaf stalk) of the rhubarb plant is edible,
[7] and edible
gymnosperm seeds are often given fruit names, e.g.,
ginkgo nuts and
pine nuts.
Botanically, a
cereal grain, such as
corn,
rice, or
wheat, is also a kind of fruit, termed a
caryopsis. However, the fruit wall is very thin and is fused to the seed coat, so almost all of the edible grain is actually a seed.

Catholic tradition follows the
Vulgate version of Galatians in listing 12 fruits: charity, joy, peace, patience, benignity (kindness), goodness, longanimity (generosity), mildness (gentleness), faith, modesty, continency (self-control), and chastity.
[3] This tradition was defended by
Thomas Aquinas in his work
Summa Theologica.
