What are the most consumed fruits in the world?

There are two contenders for the title of the most popular fruit: bananas and tomatoes.

• Bananas take the lead by most measures. Over 100 billion bananas are eaten every year around the world [1]. They're portable, nutritious, and relatively inexpensive.
• Tomatoes are also incredibly popular, though consumption figures are often lower than bananas. They're a key ingredient in many cuisines around the world, and can be eaten fresh, cooked, or juiced.

Here are some other fruits that rank high in global consumption:

• Apples
• Grapes
• Watermelons
• Oranges
• Mangoes
