produce section

Fresh fruit area

The produce section is the area of a grocery store where fresh fruits and vegetables are displayed.

It's typically near the store entrance, with items arranged in bins or on refrigerated shelves: I'll meet you in the produce section.

The term distinguishes this area from canned goods, frozen foods, and other departments.
