Tag: Most eaten fruit

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), over 192 million tonnes of tomatoes were produced in 2023, far surpassing any other single fruit by weight. However, this leads to a fundamental question: what is the most eaten fruit in the world, and does total production truly reflect direct, fresh consumption?

According to 2023 data from Statista, Americans consumed an average of 26.7 pounds of fresh bananas per person, far more than any other option. This makes the banana America's most eaten fruit, a title it has held for many years. Its enduring popularity is a testament to its convenience, affordability, and nutritional value.
