Fruit

Fruit is a collective term for sweet or tart produce from plants, rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and natural fiber. It encompasses hundreds of varieties, from apples and pears to citrus fruits and berries, as well as exotic options such as mango or papaya. In the kitchen, fruit is used fresh, dried, frozen, and canned in desserts, salads, jams, smoothies, sauces, and drinks. The naturally sweet flavor of fruit comes from fructose. It is an essential part of a balanced diet and supports immune system function, skin health, and overall vitality.
