Garlic (Allium sativum), a common kitchen staple, is botanically classified as a bulb, a type of modified underground stem, not a fruit or a seed. This fact often comes as a surprise to many, highlighting the difference between a plant's scientific classification and its culinary use as a vegetable or herb.

Over 10,000 years of selective breeding and cultivation have led to many of the seedless fruits we enjoy today. So, are there any fruits without seeds? The answer is a definitive yes, thanks to both natural genetic mutations and human agricultural innovation, making them a convenient part of our modern diet.

While many people associate plants with flowering, asexual reproduction via methods like tubers or runners is often a faster process than relying on a blossom for propagation. For those seeking an alternative to blossom, whether in plant life or technology, there are numerous options to explore depending on your specific needs.
