Bedeutung
To consume various kinds of fruit.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The '5 fruits et légumes par jour' campaign is a staple of French life, appearing in almost all food advertisements. In Quebec, people might use 'bleuets' (blueberries) or 'canneberges' (cranberries) more often in their fruit-eating vocabulary due to local abundance. Eating fruit like dates or oranges is often a sign of hospitality and is served at the end of every meal. The 'sirop de Liège' is a popular fruit spread, but 'manger des fruits' still refers to the fresh whole food.
The Negative Rule
Always change 'des' to 'de' when you say you DON'T eat fruit: 'Je ne mange pas de fruits.'
Seasonal is Better
In France, people will think it's strange if you talk about eating strawberries in December. Stick to seasonal fruits!

The 'Nous' Spelling
Don't forget the 'e' in 'mangeons'. It's a common mistake even for native kids!
