tropical fruits

Warm-climate harvest items

Tropical fruits are fruits that grow in warm, humid climates near the equator—regions too hot for temperate agriculture.

The category includes mangoes, papayas, pineapples, bananas, coconuts, and passion fruit, among many others.

These fruits often have distinctive flavors and textures unfamiliar to temperate palates, and they've become more widely available through global trade: The grocery store now stocks tropical fruits year-round.
