Produce

 

In a supermarket, what is produce and what items are sold in the produce section? (The word is a noun and the pronunciation is PROduce, with the accent on pro.) 

Produce refers to agricultural products. It’s a general term for many farm or garden crops, particularly fruits and vegetables.  It is understood that the products are fresh and in the same state as when they were harvested. This means that they are unprocessed, unfrozen, whole, raw fruits and vegetables that have not been combined with other ingredients.

If I can, I prefer buying produce at my local farmers market because the products are organic and fresher but, no matter where you buy your produce, it’s important to eat your fruits and veggies!
