Tropical fruits are fruits that are typically grown in tropical regions such as South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. These fruits are typically characterized by their sweet and juicy flesh and thick, tough rinds. Examples of tropical fruits include pineapples, bananas, mangoes, papayas, and coconuts.
Non-tropical fruits, on the other hand, are fruits that are typically grown in temperate regions such as Europe, North America, and parts of Asia. These fruits are typically characterized by their thin skins and are generally smaller in size as compared to tropical fruits. Examples of non-tropical fruits include apples, pears, berries, grapes, and citrus fruits.
