Puuviljased

Puuviljased is a term used in Estonian to describe the fruit of plants. This includes a wide variety of edible botanical fruits. The term encompasses sweet fruits like apples, pears, berries, and stone fruits such as cherries and plums. It also extends to more savory fruits that are botanically classified as such, such as tomatoes and cucumbers, though in culinary contexts these are often treated as vegetables. The classification of puuviljased is based on their botanical origin, developing from the flower of a plant and containing seeds. Estonia's climate allows for the cultivation of many common puuviljased, and wild berries also play a significant role in the local diet and culture. The term is broad and encompasses a diversity of flavors, textures, and uses, from fresh consumption to preservation and culinary ingredient.
