Apples are the largest variety of fruit that exists with more than 8,000 varieties worldwide. It would take a lifetime to try them all, but what a delicious endeavour it would be!
Cherries are believed to have been around since the Stone Age, but they’re chock full of vitamins and antioxidants to combat the signs of aging and keep you looking (and feeling!) young.
Cooking quince turns its flesh anywhere from rosy pink to a deep, dusky red; it was used in wedding ceremonies in Ancient Greece because it would turn the bride’s lips a pleasant crimson colour when eaten. And as a rich source of iron and dietary fibre, this vibrant fruit keeps your body beautiful, inside and out!
Strawberries are synonymous with summertime and that bright burst of juice on a scorching day. But did you know they’re actually from the rose family? Still, a strawberry by any other name would still taste as sweet.
Plums are one of the most versatile fruits, used to make jam, preserves, marinades, sauces, and even wine. So, it’s no wonder it was the first fruit to be domesticated by humans!

While not technically a vegetable, aubergines are an earthy alternative to many meat dishes and high in the antioxidant nasunin to reduce inflammation and stress. The Italian word for this multi-faceted fruit is ‘melanzana,’ which translates to 'apple of madness’ and we think you’d be mad not to eat more of it!
It’s probably the unique liquorice flavour of fennel that keeps its fan base rather small. Those who like it, however, benefit from its comparatively quick preparation, both raw and cooked, its creative uses, and its great digestive properties.
Although related to the cabbage family, kohlrabi has a mild, slightly sweet, nutty flavour and is far more digestible than cabbage! It is a great addition to the dinner table with its year-round versatility in everything from adding crunch to salads to roasting for your main course.
In addition to being a superfood, loaded with over a dozen vitamins and minerals, in medieval times, the green pigment extracted from spinach was used as ink for artwork, so it’s no surprise that consuming it makes your skin, bones, and hair a masterpiece.
Not only are tomatoes the most popular fruit, they’ve been to the International Space Station as part of ‘The Tomatosphere Project’ to understand the effects of space on seed growth.
