Ok, here are your responses to the best fruits in the world!

I am quite surprised at some of the answers — a lot of exotic or unusual fruits.

1. Strawberries

There are one or two on here I have to say I haven’t tried! And I worked in the produce section of healthfood stores for years. Have to search them out somewhere sometime.

Thank you to everyone who contributed!

    No peaches? I’m flabbergasted…

      my favorite wasn’t on the list either — Papaya. & i even got to write the article announcing the competition! :)

    Mangoes totally rock. Those fruit images are delectable; wish that I could eat them.

    Huzzah for sapote! My favorite – I never thought it would make the list!

    Pomegranate? Anyone… anyone?

      If it wasn’t so annoying to harvest…

      I would maybe give it the best-looking fruit award!

    I can’t believe DragonFruit made it! #7 no less! Now I want some and the farmers market probably doesn’t have it any more. Poo :-( At least there’s watermelon in the fridge!

    Well, I would happily eat any of the fruit on this list… and I would happily eat a LOT of it!! I agree on peaches – I would put them ahead of apples for sure. I don’t think I could narrow my favorites down to the top 10 though…
    Thanks for the interesting article! It’s fun to see what the general consensus was.
