In a particular region, the same fruit is available in multiple varieties, colours, with different tastes and textures. The primary reason for this could be:, Species diversity, Ecological diversity, Genetic diversity, Hybridization

Genetic diversity: A single species might show high diversity at the genetic level over its distributional range. The genetic variation shown by the medicinal plant Rauwolfia vomitoria growing in different Himalayan ranges might be in terms of the potency and concentration of the active chemical (reserpine) that the plant produces. India has more than 50,000 genetically different strains of rice, and 1,000 varieties of mango.
