History, tradition and origin
Fruit is the original dessert. Mangoes have been grown in South Asia for thousands of years, pineapples come from South America, watermelons from Africa and dragon fruit from Central America. In Japan, perfect fruit is a traditional gift, and melons grown one to a vine are sold in presentation boxes for very high prices.
Food economy and industry
Refrigerated shipping lets tropical fruit reach markets year-round, and bananas, mangoes and pineapples are major exports for countries near the equator. Berries are among the most valuable crops by area and are still picked by hand. Japan's gift fruit is raised in greenhouses with constant attention, and the first melons of the season are auctioned.
