Stick around because this is found in fruit (7)
I believe the answer is:
glucose
'found in fruit' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'stick around because' is the wordplay.
'stick' becomes 'glue' (to stick with glue).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'because' becomes 'cos' (short for 'because').
'glue' placed around 'cos' is 'GLUCOSE'.
'this is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for glucose that I've seen before include "Simple sugar" , "syrupy stuff" , "Naturally occurring sugar" , "Form of sugar found in fruit etc" , "something tasting sweet" .)
