    Food (A2)

    While eating at a restaurant is an enjoyable and convenient occasional treat, most individuals and
    families prepare their meals at home. To m ake breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily, these persons must
    have the required foods and ingredients on hand and ready to go; foods and ingredients are typically
    purchased from a grocery store, or an establishment that distributes foods, drinks, household
    products, and other items that're used by the typical consumer.

    Produce, or the term used to describe fresh fruits and vegetables, is com monly purchased by grocery
    store shoppers. In terms of fruit, most grocery stores offer bananas, apples, oranges, blackberries,
    raspberries, grapes, pineapples, cantaloupes, watermelons, a nd more; other grocery stores with larger
    produce selections might offer the listed fruits in addition to less com m on fruits, including mangoes,
    honeydews, starfruits, coconuts, and more.

    Depending on the grocery store, customers can purchase fruits in a few different ways. Som e stores
    will charge a set amount per pound of fruit, and will weigh customers' fruit purchases and bill them
    accordingly; other stores will charge customers for each piece of fruit they buy, or for bundles of fruit
    (a bag of bananas, a bag of apples, etc.); other stores yet will simply charge by the container.

    Vegetables, including lettuce, corn, tomatoes, onions, celery, cucumbers, mushrooms, and more are
    also sold at m any grocery stores, and are purchased similarly to the way that fruits are. Grocery stores
    typically stock more vegetables than fruit at any given time, as vegetables remain fresh longer than
    fruits do, generally speaking.

    It'd take quite a while to list everything else that today's massive grocery stores sell, but most
    customers take the opportunity to shop for staples, or foods that play a prominent role in the average
    diet, at the establishments. Staples include pasta, rice, flour, sugar, milk, meat, and eggs, and bread. All
    the listed staples are available in prepackaged containers, but can be purchased "fresh" in som e
    grocery stores, wherein employees will measure and weigh fresh products and then provide them to
    customers.
