Questions on chemistry of fruits
What distinguishes fruits which taste fruity from those which
do not? For example, apples, oranges, bananas, strawberries,
and grapes usually taste fruity when ripe, while bell peppers,
tomatoes, cucumbers, okra, olives, and squash generally do not. BRBR
It's an oversimplification, but the most obvious difference is the presence of
sugar.
