California is known for providing much of our nation's fresh produce. Which of the following did Lt. Governor Newsom officially make the state fruit in 2013?

In addition to the avocado becoming the state fruit, Newsom made the artichoke the new state vegetable, rice the state grain, and almonds the state nut. Picking the avocado as the state fruit was a no-brainer, as the state grows more avocados than any other. 60% of those avocados are grown in San Diego County, which is why San Diego earned the nickname "avocado capital of the world".
