Fruit

Again, because so much of the land was fertile due to the annual flooding of the Nile, the Egyptians grew and ate a variety of fruits. It is difficult to list all the fruits eaten in Ancient Egypt, but there is documented evidence that fruits high in sugar and protein are in vogue. Apple, olive, and pomegranate trees were brought to Egypt around the time of Hyksos' reign or later. Grapes and figs are also popular fruits when they are available. Coconut, on the other hand, was an imported luxury item that only wealthy Egyptians could afford. The presence of such a variety of fruits in the daily diet of the people can be seen in the remains found in some of the tombs.

Before Egypt imported fruits like Apples and Olives from their neighbors around the Hyksos regime, the fruit was a popular staple enjoyed by the majority of Egypt. In fact, they had a lot of variations to it proven and traced the paintings on the walls and remnants around the tombs. Since their land is blessed by the Nile with annual floods, it makes the land highly fertile for agricultural industries such as fruit and vegetables. Thus, the Egyptians could enjoy variations of the fruit as it was an abundant commodity on their land. What makes it surprising is that the land is so fertile, that it has come to a point where recording every fruit consumed by them becomes a daunting task. Apparently, the Egyptians liked to have fruits from the high sugar and protein group. In the list of most famous Ancient Egyptian kinds of food, grapes, figs, melons, and dates are a few names commonly found in their staples. Coconuts are an imported luxury item that can only be provided by the wealthy.
