Introduction 

Fruits and vegetables are edible plant-based foods that are an important part of a healthy diet.

Fruits are the sweet and fleshy products of plants, which contain seeds or pits. Examples of fruits include apples, bananas, berries, citrus fruits, grapes, and melons.

Vegetables are the edible parts of plants that are not considered to be fruits. Examples of vegetables include leafy greens, such as lettuce and spinach, root vegetables, such as carrots and potatoes, and stem vegetables, such as asparagus and celery.
