Oh, and I left all the citations in just for the heck of it. Maybe you need some research sources for your essay on fruit or a fruit-related point. Also, the self.com links are really interesting if you want to look up the nutrition information on any food product in general. Cite your sources, students!

Apples and oranges are two common fruits in America. Both of them grow within the continental 48
states and are consumed regularly by the American people. These fruits are going to stay a staple of
the American diet for the forseeable future, as they have become a part of our
food culture.
Oranges
are more of a tropical fruit than apples, growing in warmer, rainier places
like California and Florida. It is the
fourth most popular fruit in the country.
Apples are the second most valuable fruit crop in the United States, and
grow in places like Michigan, New York, and Washington state, places that see
more cold weather than where oranges are grown.
While oranges are generally available throughout the year, apples tend
to be harvested in the fall ( par. 6).
