Fruits are very rich and healthy foods that can not be missing in our homes, which is why we usually buy them without thinking twice. But there are some foods that we usually call fruit, but that really are infrutescences.

Here we are going to talk about why some fruits are called wrongly in this way, when they really correspond to a group that is given the name of infructescence. Further, you will find out about all kinds of information about these foods.

What is the infructescence?

The infructescence is the process of fertilization of a compact inflorescence or the ovule of certain flowers. In this way, the infructescence is considered as the adhesion or crowding of fruits that give the impression of being one.

Because of all this, the infructescence it is often confused with a fruit due to the impression it causes at first sight, although it really is a union of fruits. In this way, it is advisable to use the name that corresponds to them.

What is the difference between infrutescence and fruit?

As has been explained, it can be concluded that the fruit is a unique element that corresponds to the ovaries of a flower when it has reached maturity. Inside it houses the well-known seed.

On the other hand, the infrutescence corresponds to the result of fertilization of inflorescence, which generates a set of fruit packed together. In this way, a receptacle is usually formed to protect them.

In this way, it is observed that the difference between the fruit and the infrutescence lies mainly in the quantity and properties. A fruit is individual and corresponds to the maturity of the ovaries of the flower, while the infructescence is given by a grouping of fruits.

How is infrutescence sown?

To sow the infructescence you only need to open it and remove the seeds that we will use for planting. In this way, then it is only necessary to have a land and the necessary materials to generate the harvest.

Types of infructescence

There are multiple types of infructescence that are divided depending on their characteristics. Here we will show you and we will detail each of these.

Sicono

They are characterized by have a receptacle in rounded form, for being hollow inside and for having an opening called ostiolo (in apical form).

These infrutescences they are coated like an epicarp. Even so, when you open them, you can see the very structure of the fruits that are coupled and joined together.

The fig is a syconium that harbors its fruits inside the receptacle. In addition, this infrucence has its flowers hidden inside it. The flowers are those that develop the achene that is considered as the real fruit of the fig.

Cinorrodón

It is characterized by have a fleshy receptacle that allows to protect all the fruit that lodges in its interior. The thalamus is concave and somewhat swollen.

The main example of this type of infructescence is the dogrose, coming from the rose bush.

Poliaquenio

It is said of the formation of a set of fruits, of the achene type, on the outside or at one end of the flower itself. As for its receptacle, it is fleshy.

The main infrucence is the strawberry, being one of the most harvested and the most purchased all over the world.

What are the most common infrutescences?

There is an extensive amount of infructescence that we usually eat or use in all kinds of daily culinary activities. Perhaps the best known are the pineapple and strawberry, being the most purchased today.

There are other infructescences, perhaps not as well known as is the case of figs and dogrose.

Early on in the history of cryptocurrency, it was less popular than it is now. Everyone claims to be an expert in the field, and more people want to get involved because it has become popular and people are genuinely making money off of it. However, because most people don't have an elementary knowledge of how the internet or cryptocurrency works, they fall victim to con artists, whose job it is to trick you into believing whatever they have going on and getting you to start investing with them. If things don't go wrong—you run out of money, your withdrawal requests are denied, or it's pay day and you're asked to keep investing—will you continue investing?

I have always relied on my instincts when making judgments, and like every poor choice, binary options trading seems too good to be true. However, we pursue it out of desperation or a persistent issue that needs to be resolved financially. This time, the issue concerns an investment that was meant to increase my income but instead kept consuming my wealth. I work as a kindergarten teacher and have always desired greater freedom with my time.This caused me to look for other sources of income, and since I knew a little bit about binary options trading, I was persuaded that investing in it would increase my income from the appropriate source. Unfortunately, I ended myself in the wrong hands. A broker who appeared to be knowledgeable in this area encouraged me to invest with them and made every effort to keep me invested. I ended everything when I lost my asset a few days after my withdrawal request was denied. I was denied access the first time, and I'm sure this wasn't part of the transaction requirements, but I was requested to pay a charge the second time to complete my transaction.A few months later, the scar was still very much there in my mind. Unwilling to ignore it, I began looking for a solution—any method to go back into my account and get my money back.After falling victim to cyberbullies' blackmail, I faced a number of obstacles in my search for a solution, but I persisted until I came across SPACE SPY. The fact that Space Spy was able to easily retrieve my assets despite everything I've been through and the passage of time makes me extremely grateful that I encountered them. I wish we could identify scams when we see them or suspect foul play, but it's almost impossible because con artists are constantly waiting for an opportunity to strike.Contact Space Spy right away at +44 7464119133 via WhatsApp or by email at soacespy@hackermail.com if we are unable to stop them. If not, we can at least defeat them with their assistance.
