Fruits like apples, oranges, and bananas are delicious and nutritious. Vegetables such as carrots, spinach, and broccoli are packed with vitamins and minerals. Grains like rice, wheat, and corn are essential for providing energy. Nuts like almonds, walnuts, and peanuts are good sources of healthy fats and protein.
