1. Tomato (NT$7): The fruit comes in many shapes and colors. It is smallish in size, with a thin shell and a high sugar content.
2. Guava (NT$17): The outer skin is light green, with thick, textured pulp, which is predominantly white. The taste is refreshing and sweet, with a very low calorie count.
