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
