Mangoes are known for their delicious fleshy #fruits. The #mango #fruit is not large berry but a so-called #drupe. In drupes, the innermost layer of the fruit, called "endocarp", is not fleshy like in a #berry (e.g., avocado, grapes or kiwi), but hard and called "#pyrena", "pit" or "stone". Inside the stone, one can find the actual #seed. Cherries, plums and peaches are also drupes.
The seed has 2 large embryonic leaves, so-called "cotyledons" that store nutrients
