However, apart from these, there are several other fruits that can be categorized as dried fruits.

Melons
There is a lot of debate on whether melon is a fruit or a vegetable. Scientifically, a melon is a fruit (based on the definition mentioned above). However, the confusion lies because of the fact that melons, cucumbers, squash, etc. belong to the same family, i.e., gourds. Watermelon, cantaloupe, etc. are examples of melons, which are categorized as fruits. Melons are also classified into the broad category of fleshy fruits because they have an edible pulpy flesh.

Multiple Fruits
Multiple fruits are called so because they are developed from multiple flowers. Every single flower produces a fruit, which is then assembled naturally as a whole. Therefore, what we see as a whole fruit is actually a bunch of fruits. One of the classic examples of multiple flowers is pineapple. Some berries like the strawberry also belong to this category of fruits.
Breadfruit
Jackfruit
Osage-orange
Pineapple
Berries
Berries also belong to the larger group of fruits, i.e., fleshy fruits as they have a pulpy flesh. However, scientifically speaking, berries are fruits that have a pulpy flesh with one or more seeds embedded in it. In that case, a tomato or a banana is also considered as a berry. Whereas, a strawberry is not actually a berry because it has seeds on the outer part of its cover. Berries are extensively used for culinary purposes.
