Expirates, chiefly a medical term may mean different things in different contexts. As a verb, it may mean to breathe out. As a noun, it may mean all those that are expired out from lungs. The point here is that the fruit does both inhaling and exhaling as humans do; hence that process is rightly called respiring. All other things do not fit in. So respires is the word.
