In this example, you'd use FRUIT.
This is similar to the word "fish".
1 apple = fruit
10 apples = fruit
1 apple + 1 mango + 3 watermelons = fruits (different kinds)
1 fish = fish
10 fish = fish
1 swordfish + 1 goldfish = fishes. (different kinds)
I hope this helps.

Your example sentence is fine. The plural of fruit is fruits. You are confused over the matter of countable and uncountable nouns.
This is tricky to explain, because there are few strict rules about which nouns are countable and uncountable, so I will hope you will forgive this over-simplified account:
Some nouns (e.g. chair) are countable. We can say "one chair", "two chairs", etc. They have singular and plural forms.
Other nouns are uncountable. We do not say "one fun" "two funs". There is no plural form of fun.
Many nouns have both countable and uncountable senses. E.g. you can have a bar of chocolate [uncountable], or a box of chocolates [countable, plural].
Nouns for classes of foodstuff (fruit, meat, cheese, etc.) are usually uncountable, but they take a countable sense when we talk about different varieties (a wide selection of cold meats and cheeses).
Your example sentence talks about different varieties of fruit, so fruits is fine.

You can only say "fruits" if you mean different kinds. In your example I guess it's meant in general, so "fruit" it should be.
