Michigan’s Favorite Fruit Might Surprise You Like It Did Me

Growing up as a kid I didn't appreciate how good and tasty fruit was.

Now as an adult, I love biting into a juicy pear or snacking on a carton of blueberries.

Neither of those are Michigan's favorite fruit according to people that know a lot about fruit.

If you were thinking it was an apple you're wrong even though we grow some delicious ones in Michigan.

According to the people at Edible Arrangements, They know what Michigan's favorite fruit is.

I was skeptical about how they came up with Michigan's top fruit.

"we’ve combed through Google Trends data to find the most searched fruit in each state to identify every state’s favorite fruits. First, we searched for fruits, drilled down by state, sorted by top (or most searched), and picked the first fruit we found. Though it may not be 100% definitive, this data was able to help us determine each state’s favorite fruit."
