Fruit is popular around the world, but do you have any idea as to what the most popular fruit is in terms of how much of it is grown and consumed in a single year? There are a few apparent contenders for the crown, but the majority of people will end up actually getting the answer wrong.
The correct answer is the tomato, and a lot of people end up forgetting that the tomato is indeed a fruit, but it far outstrips its other competitors for the title of the most popular fruit in the world. Not only are there over 10,000 different varieties to choose from, but there are more than 60 million tons of the fruit grown in a single year around the world. That equates to a huge amount of tomatoes that are then used in a variety of ways.
Oh, and the second most popular fruit in the world? The banana, but it just cannot come close to the tomato in terms of popularity or the number of them grown over a 12-month period.
