List of edible food seed dispersal methods in nature

List of edible food seed dispersal methods in nature In nature, plants reproduce themselves by dispersing seeds. This list is to help you have an overview of how food we eat and plants disperse their seeds in nature. Typically, seeds need a way to be dispersed onto a new soil area to grow into a new plant. There are a total of 5 ways plants disperse seeds in nature: Animals Wind Water Ballistic (explosion, movement) Gravity Etc (fire) Edible nuts (seed dispersal methods in nature) Nuts which are drupe seeds (tree nuts) Coconut Water Cashew nut Animals (bird, mammals - bats, elephant ) Fruit eating bats: eat the fleshy part of a wild cashew fruit and drop the seed (cashew nut) for germination. Almond Animals Wind (the seed falls near the parent tree, since the strength of wind is limited) Water (very rare, when the almond tree is grown near a river) Pecan Pistachio Walnut Apricot kernel True nuts Typically disperse through masting (mast seeding), in which the tree may only produce nuts
