Fruits do HAVE chloroplasts, but them arent’s so many ones in the fruit, and their color get hidden by other components like anthocianins or other ones. Fruits come from the flowers and in the potato plant, the true fruits are like little tomatoes, as long as them are from the same vegetable family (solanaceae).
