I would nominate a plump yellow peach with an attractive red blush and a sexy curve.
Red currants are one of my favorite to look at. They glisten and beg to be eaten.
A large lush blackberry is a sight to behold
Red grapes, especially with a little backlighting (good for all the translucent fruits). The round ones look more beautiful to me than the elongated ones.
Apricots - like the peaches, best when mostly yellow/orange with a nice blush.
Red cherries. The sour ones are prettiest, but I like the sweet ones better to eat. The white ones taste as good, but aren't as much fun to eat, somehow.
Pomegranites - especially when ripped open to expose the berries
Star fruit looks beautiful but isn't very good to eat.

I'd disagree with your choice of Saturn peaches. I've heard good things about them, and seen them in the market, but I've never bought them because they look deformed to me. On the other hand, I've bought blood oranges at a high price just because they were so pretty.

I'm compiling a list of fruits that are beautiful to look at and luscious to

groceries and to find as ingredients or stars of good restaurant cuisine. I
have a few assembled.
Blood orange
Saturn peach
Api (Lady) apple
White currant

What would you nominate, fruit lovers?
