In California, Sultana ( known there as Thompson Seedless ) grapes are sometimes diverted from the raisin or table market to produce white juice.

* Most commercial seedless grape cultivars, such as ' Thompson Seedless ', are not seedless because of parthenocarpy, but because of stenospermocarpy.

Seedless grape varieties were developed to appeal to consumers, but researchers are now discovering that many of the healthful properties of grapes may actually come from the seeds themselves, thanks to their enriched phytochemical content.

In Anglo-America, most raisins, including those with the typical dark brown colour, are made from the sultana grape, called the Thompson Seedless there.

Seedless cultivars exist, and are highly favored since in the normal varieties the large seeds occupy a considerable volume of the fruit.

Seedless grapes are divided into white, red and black types based roughly on fruit color.

Other white cultivars are ' Perlette ', ' Menindee Seedless ', ' Interlaken ', ' Himrod ', ' Romulanus ', ' Lakemont ', ' Fayez ', and ' Remailey Seedless.

Other red cultivars are ' Crimson Seedless ', ' Ruby Seedless ', ' Suffolk Red ', ' Saturn ' and ' Pink Reliance '.

Some black cultivars are ' Black Beauty ', ' Black Monukka ', ' Concord Seedless ', ' Glenora ' and ' Thomcord.

The sultana is a " white " ( pale green ), oval seedless grape variety also called the sultanina, oval-fruited Kishmish, Lady de Coverly ( England ), and Thompson Seedless ( United States ).

The most popular seedless grape is known in the United States as ' Thompson Seedless ', but was originally known as ' Sultana '.

' The most popular red seedless in the U. S. is ' Flame Seedless '.

It is believed that the most widely planted variety is Sultana, also known as Thompson Seedless, with at least 3, 600 km < sup > 2 </ sup >.

It is also often known as " Seedless mandarin " ().

The sultana grape's American name, Thompson Seedless, refers to William Thompson, a viticulturist who was an early grower in California and is sometimes credited with introducing the variety.

He emigrated to California ( near Yuba City ) in 1863 and developed the Thompson Seedless table grape ( see Sultana ), which is also used for grape juice and wine, as well as 95 % of the raisins produced in California.

Seedless varieties include the sultana ( also known as Thompson Seedless in the USA ) and Flame grapes.

Depending on the market for wine and table grapes, low quality wine may contain some grapes that could also be sold as table grapes, particularly Thompson Seedless.

Himrod resulted from a cross of Ontario by Thompson Seedless, a particularly successful cross which resulted in the eventual release of four cultivars, the others being Interlaken, Romulus, and Lakemont.

It, along with the echinoderm phylum, including starfish, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers and their kin, are the chordates closest relatives.

Some pickled cucumbers are also fermented.

However, there are other foods that are not typically considered to be fruits in a culinary sense but are botanically, such as berries, bell peppers, eggplant, tomatoes, cucumbers, nuts and grains .< ref >

There are many modern variations of gazpacho, often in different colors and omitting the tomatoes and bread in favor of avocados, cucumbers, parsley, watermelon, grapes, meat stock, seafood, and other ingredients.

The Echinodermata are radially symmetric and exclusively marine, including starfish ( Asteroidea ), sea urchins, ( Echinoidea ), brittle stars ( Ophiuroidea ), sea cucumbers ( Holothuroidea ) and feather stars ( Crinoidea ).

Shanghai people are used to grabbing some food in small snack stores or having a bowl of paofan (; rice in soup or water ) with pickled cucumbers, pickled vegetables or a salty duck egg at home.

Some nam phrik are served as a dip with vegetables such as cucumbers, cabbage and yard-long beans, either raw or blanched.

Other vegetables which are often eaten in Thailand are thua fak yao ( yardlong beans ), thua ngok ( bean sprouts ), no mai ( bamboo shoots ), tomatoes, cucumbers, phak tam leung ( Coccinia grandis ), kha na ( Chinese kale ), phak kwangtung ( choy sum ), cha om ( tender Acacia pennata leaves ), sweet potatoes ( used more as a vegetable ), a few types of squash, phakatin ( Leucaena leucocephala ), sataw ( Parkia speciosa ), tua phū ( Winged beans ) and kapōt corn.

They are also known as gildas or piparras and consist of pickled items, like olives, baby onions, baby cucumbers, chiles ( guindilla ) with pieces of pepper and other vegetables.

The adults are recognized easily by their ( usually five-point ) radial symmetry, and include such well-known animals as sea stars, sea urchins, sand dollars, and sea cucumbers.

Two main subdivisions of echinoderms are traditionally recognised: the more familiar motile Eleutherozoa, which encompasses the Asteroidea ( sea star ), Ophiuroidea ( brittle stars ), Echinoidea ( sea urchins and sand dollars ), and Holothuroidea ( sea cucumbers ); and the sessile Pelmatozoa, which consists of the crinoids and of the extinct blastoids and Paracrinoids.

Skeletal elements are also deployed in some specialized ways, such as the " Aristotle's lantern " of sea urchins, crinoids ' stalks, and the supportive " lime ring " of sea cucumbers.

They reach highest diversity in reef environments but are also widespread on shallow shores, around the poles — refugia where crinoids are at their most abundant — and throughout the deep ocean, where bottom-dwelling and burrowing sea cucumbers are common — sometimes accounting for up to 90 % of organisms.

While almost all echinoderms are benthic — that is, they live on the sea floor — some sea-lilies can swim at great velocity for brief periods of time, and a few deep-sea sea cucumbers are fully floating.

Crinoids and some brittle stars tend to be passive filter-feeders, absorbing suspended particles from passing water ; sea urchins are grazers, sea cucumbers deposit feeders, and seastars are active hunters.

The echinoderms are also the staple diet of many organisms, most notably the otter ; conversely, many sea cucumbers provide a habitat for parasites, including crabs, worms and snails.

As a member of the order Curcurbitales, begonias are relatively closely related to such food crops as pumpkins / squash, gourds, cucumbers, and melons.

Common fruits that are sometimes classified as epigynous berries include bananas, coffee, members of the genus Vaccinium ( e. g., cranberries and blueberries ), and members of the family Cucurbitaceae ( e. g., cucumbers, melons and squash ).

For example, the grazing of sea urchins reduces the rate of colonization of bare rock ; the burrowing of sand dollars and sea cucumbers depleted the sea floor of nutrients and encouraged deeper penetration of the sea floor, increasing the depth to which oxygenation occurs and allowing a more complex ecological tiering to develop.

For example, most fruits and berries contain 0. 4 to 0. 8 calories per gram, vegetables can be even lower than that ( cucumbers contain only 0. 16 calories per gram ).

Sea cucumbers have inspired thousands of haiku in Japan, where they are called namako ( 海鼠 ), written with characters that can be translated " sea mice " ( an example of gikun ).

Rabbis of the Talmud also condemned magic when it produced something other than illusion, giving the example of two men who use magic to pick cucumbers ( Sanhedrin 67a ).
