This process helps improve the taste, color, size, and shelf life of the frits without using artificial methods.

List of Man-made fruits: Have you ever eaten a fruit and thought, ‘Wow, nature is awesome’? Well, there is a fun twist that not all those fruits are 100% natural. Some of the fruits that we eat every day are actually man made through cross-breeding and selective farming. 

That means scientists or farmers combined two or more plants to make a new fruit with better taste, size, colour, or even longer shelf life. It is not about using chemicals or making fake food; it’s more about giving nature a little creative push.

Are there Artificial Fruits?

Yes, there are artificial fruits, and they are quite common, but they are different from man-made fruits. These are typically fake or faux fruits made from materials like plastic, foam, or fiber. They are not meant to be eaten but are used for various decorative purposes, such as filling a fruit bowl in a kitchen or living room to add color and a fresh look that never spoils. They are also often used for commercial displays in stores, as props for photography, films, or theater, and even as toys or teaching aids for children to learn about different types of fruits.
