Rotten Fruits Visual Guide - Signs of Spoilage in Common Produce #3505852 (License: Personal Use)

This hand-drawn illustration showcases a variety of commonly consumed fruits in advanced stages of decay: a mushy banana with blackened peel, an apple with large brown rot patches, mold-covered oranges, a split-open rotten pumpkin oozing liquid, a slimy tomato with dark lesions, and a desiccated avocado with oxidized flesh. Each fruit displays characteristic spoilage indicators such as fungal growth (green/white mold), enzymatic browning, texture collapse, and leakage-critical for recognizing food waste and preventing foodborne illness.

Used on health, nutrition, food safety, or sustainability websites to educate users about identifying spoiled produce, reducing food waste, or illustrating composting topics; matches user intent for “how to tell if fruit is bad” or “signs of fruit spoilage.”
