Another important type of food is fruit . Fruits contain seeds or a stone, and they can be eaten raw after becoming ripe. Some of the most popular and delicious fruits are tropical fruits  like pineapples, bananas, mangoes, papayas and mangosteens.

There are also many delicious subtropical fruits that grow in slightly cooler climates like the Middle East. Olives, figs, dates and grapes have been eaten for thousands of years in the Middle East, either as fresh fruits or dried fruits like the various kinds of dried grape we now call raisins, sultanas and currants. Citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruit are also subtropical fruits, famous for their high levels of vitamin C. Melons  are large, thick-skinned fruits that can grow in both tropical and subtropical climates. The most popular melons include the cantaloupe, the honeydew and the juicy and refreshing watermelon.

Fruits that can grow in even colder climates are called temperate fruits. They include apples and pears as well as stone fruits like apricots, plums, peaches, cherries and avocados. Berries  are also temperate fruits, but they have many tiny seeds rather than one big seed like stone fruits. They are round and juicy and the most popular include strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and kiwifruit. There is another very popular berry similar in size to the kiwifruit that most people think is a vegetable rather than a fruit. It's red, juicy and is used to make a sauce called ketchup. Do you know what it is?
