Top 20 Fruits Sold in the U.S.

Ever eaten them?

A honeydew is actually more like a cantaloupe.

cantaloupe and honey dew are types of melon

Haha nice comment, if it weren't "borrowed" from a well-known saying about tomatoes. In the case of avocados, not so much. In fact, in Brazil they'll often take big scoops of avocado, sprinkle the stuff with lime to keep it from browning, then add sugar and serve it in a bowl with other stuff that basically makes it a milkshake of sorts. Down in South America they've basically come up with every possible way you can serve avocados. Here's a fascinating article I read on the subject:

Believe it or not, avocado and strawberries go really well together, like in a salad, or in a tasty salsa!

Yes they are (and so are avocadoes), but people come up with the most convoluted and nonsensical reasons to deny it just because they aren't sweet. Logic fail.

Yes. But botanically, many of our "vegetables" and all grains are fruit, as well. There's no point in going by the botanical definition because it gets us nowhere. The culinary definition works just fine.

Name checks out.

Surprised that grapefruit isn't more popular.

A lot o us "more senior" people have sadly given it up because of reported interactions with medications. Ahh, the golden years...

The drug interaction issue really is part of the reason for the downward trend in grapefruit sales! The others are, well, hurricanes, and also the decreased demand in Japan. (The Japanese have traditionally loved them some Florida grapefruit, but are losing interest because we’re not able to keep them reliably supplied.)

Kind of shocked by the list. I had assumed apples or oranges would be number one and while I know bananas are popular it's amazing a fruit that is 99% imported would be our number one fruit.

I'd say bananas' incredibly low prices are probably part of the reason it's so popular.

We eat them, just not as often as the others.

Apricots and tangerines are not a thing in US?

I think tangerines may just be classified under oranges...but who knows?

TIL muskmelon is a species of fruit with multiple varieties. I got honeydew but didn't try cantaloupe after muskmelon didn't work. Now I know!

Tomatoes are fruits. Not sure where the quiz source gets its classification from, but tomatoes are most certainly NOT vegetables.

Why aren't you sure where the quiz gets its numbers from? The author listed a source. If you cannot be bothered to read the information at the beginning of the quiz that somebody made for you to do for fun free of cost, then don't start complaining in the comments.

What, no rhubarb!. You Americans are really missing out!

Rhubarb is a vegetable.
