We typically consume the** parenchyma tissue** of fruits, found in the mesocarp or 'flesh' of the fruit. The part discarded is usually the epidermis, considered part of the dermal tissue and forming the outer covering or 'peel' of the fruit. ;

We typically eat the parenchyma tissue of fruits, which is the fleshy, edible part, while we usually discard the epidermis, which is the protective outer layer or peel of the fruit.
