Where I live in the Mediterranean is known as an Aladdin's Cave of fruits, nuts and vegetables as just about everything you can or can't imagine comes from this region, such as all the citrus fruits, olives, mangoes, avocados, loquats, quince, all the stone fruits such as peaches, apricots, nectarines, plums and cherries, plus many varieties of apples and pears, all varieties of soft fruit but particularly strawberries and melons, plus many tropical fruits such as papayas, chirimoyas and medlar fruits and probably many more that I haven't mentioned and thats just the fruit, as you can probably imagine, the list of nuts and vegetables that also come from this region is just as long
