Avocado
Avocado is colloquially known as the Alligator Pear because it reflects its shape and the leather-like appearance of its skin. They are commercially priceless and are cultivated in tropical and Mediterranean climates throughout the world. With that said, it varies in weight, ranging from 8 ounces to 3 pounds depending upon the variety of avocado.
Banana
Banana is the most popular fresh fruit in all over the world and its name comes from the Arabic word 'banan', which means finger. Bananas are rich source of carbohydrates and potassium and have an iconic, exceptionally strong flavor — so strong, in fact, that you can smell them on anything they touch.
Bananas are great for vegan baking and perfect for a quick, nutritious snack on the go. Plus, they're more affordable than most other fruits out there. There's a reason why they're so popular and so ubiquitous in grocery stores around the world.
Papaya
Papaya is a large, teardrop-shaped fruit with a green or yellow, thin, and yielding outer skin. The inside is a luscious, soft, and salmon-colored fruit with a cluster of black, shiny, and small seeds that are edible, but should only be consumed in moderation.
Papaya has a similar mild, floral quality to what you'd get in a melon, but it has a sweetness to it that you won't experience with, say, a honeydew. The texture is also significantly softer than that of a melon, which makes it easy to spoon out of its peel. Of course, you don't have to eat it that way — it's also delicious when it's cut up and added to fruit salads.
Passion
Passion fruit, otherwise known as Liliko'i in Hawaiian, is a type of tropical fruit that has a hard purple or yellow outer shell with a jelly-like golden pulp and seed-filled center. The purple passion fruit will have black seeds and the yellow liliko'i will have brown seeds. Passion fruit seeds are crunchy and edible, but tart-tasting.
