Fruit varieties refer to the different types of fruits that exist within a species. For example, within the species of apple, there are many varieties like Granny Smith, Fuji, and Honeycrisp. Each variety has its own unique flavor, texture, and color, making them suitable for different uses, such as eating fresh, baking, or making juice. These varieties are often cultivated to enhance specific traits, such as sweetness or disease resistance. Farmers and gardeners choose specific fruit varieties based on their climate and soil conditions. This diversity not only enriches our diets but also supports biodiversity in our ecosystems.
