I need a list of fruits native to the Americas?!


Question:

I need a list of fruits native to the Americas?

Hi everyone, I was curious if anyone could direct me to a list of fruits that are native to the Americas; this includes both North, Central and South America.

If you can't find a list for all of the Americas, just posting fruits from a single part of the Americas would be helpful as well.

Ye gods, oranges are not *native*. They originated in China. Apples are from central Asia.

Strawberries, avocados, table grapes, pineapples, dragonfruit, papayas, and tomatoes are examples of fruits that actually originated in the Americas.

( Note: wine grapes are from Europe, but table grapes are American. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/grapes... )

apples oranges grapes for starters
