Edible bananas originated in the Indo-Malaysian region reaching to northern Australia. They were known only by hearsay in the Mediterranean region in the 3rd Century B.C., and are believed to have been first carried to Europe in the 10th Century A.D. Early in the 16th Century, Portuguese mariners transported the plant from the West African coast to South America. The types found in cultivation in the Pacific have been traced to eastern Indonesia from where they spread to the Marquesas and by stages to Hawaii.  

Native to southern Brazil and Paraguay (perhaps especially the Parana-Paraguay River) area where wild relatives occur, the pineapple was apparently domesticated by the Indians and carried by them up through South and Central America to Mexico and the West Indies long before the arrival of Europeans. Christopher Columbus and his shipmates saw the pineapple for the first time on the island of Guadeloupe in 1493 and then again in Panama in 1502. Caribbean Indians placed pineapples or pineapple crowns outside the entrances to their dwellings as symbols of friendship and hospitality. Europeans adopted the motif and the fruit was represented in carvings over doorways in Spain, England, and later in New England for many years. The plant has become naturalized in Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras and Trinidad but the fruits of wild plants are hardly edible.

The garden strawberry was first bred in Brittany, France, in the 1750s via a cross of Fragaria virginiana from eastern North America and Fragaria chiloensis, which was brought from Chile by Amédée-François Frézier in 1714. Cultivars of Fragaria × ananassa have replaced, in commercial production, the woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca), which was the first strawberry species cultivated in the early 17th century.

The apple tree (Malus domestica) is a deciduous tree in the rose family best known for its sweet, pomaceous fruit, the apple. It is cultivated worldwide as a fruit tree, and is the most widely grown species in the genus Malus. The tree originated in Central Asia, where its wild ancestor, Malus sieversii, is still found today. Apples have been grown for thousands of years in Asia and Europe, and were brought to North America by European colonists. Apples have religious and mythological significance in many cultures, including Norse, Greek and European Christian traditions.  

The orange is unknown in the wild state; is assumed to have originated in southern China, northeastern India, and perhaps southeastern Asia, and that they were first cultivated in China around 2500 BC.

These fruits are commonly known in English as "dragon fruit", reflecting its vernacular Asian names. Hylocereus has adapted to live in dry tropical climates with a moderate amount of rain.  

The purple mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana), colloquially known simply as mangosteen, is a tropical evergreen tree believed to have originated in the Sunda Islands and the Moluccas of Indonesia. It grows mainly in Southeast Asia, southwest India and other tropical areas such as Puerto Rico and Florida, where the tree has been introduced.

People who eat fruit and vegetables as part of their daily diet have a reduced risk of many chronic diseases. USDA's MyPlate encourages making half your plate fruits and vegetables. Vegetables are important part of healthy eating and provide a source of many nutrients, including potassium, fiber, folate (folic acid) and vitamins A, E and C. Options like broccoli, spinach, tomatoes and garlic provide additional benefits, making them a super food! Optimal nourishment is the reason that vegetables are important on a daily basis. You need to eat vegetables everyday because you need a supply of vitamins every day.. That's why so many health care recommendations (including the U.S. Healthy Food Plate) encourage 3-5 servings of vegetables per day. Tomato Cabbage Seedless Lemon Leafy Vegetables

Water is a natural resource and a need for every living creature on this earth, nothing quenches thirst other than water, quite unfortunate this needed resource is depleting due to various factors, and potable water in some places is scarce and expensive. Rivers Springs Streams and Ground Water tables are either contaminated or vanishing, a recent decision by The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to stop harnessing of ground water for agricultural purposes except for palm trees is a commendable move to preserve water. The Middle Eastern countries with minimal water resources have been quenching their thirst by desalinating water from the sea, this comes at a cost, and the fuel used in this process is enormous, all contributing to the Global Warming, the environmental and conservational efforts from the Middle East Countries has geared up in recent past years. ZHUMINO also would like to contribute in conserving resources, and put in practice system towards green ecology, our efforts since have been to source out the best of water resources, and our presence in European Region has prompted us to ship potable water from the European Region to Middle East Region. Bottling of Natural Spring, channelizing on to Bulk loading on to ships has been a quite a big challenge, the resource is abundance and its flowing into the sea, which ZHUMINO has taken up to bring it Bottled and Bulk to quench the thirst in Middle East.
