Which one is correct
My favorite fruit are bananas and oranges
Or
My favorite fruits are bananas and oranges.
I'm asking this question because fruit is uncountable and I'm not sure if the sentences above are correct
Thanks in advance: ))

Fruit is generally uncountable, but when we talk about types of fruit it becomes countable. So, the second is correct.

Hi, S.P!
The correct answer is the second sentence: "My favorite fruits are bananas and oranges." Although "fruit" itself is uncountable, TYPES of fruit are, and in this case (as with many other items as well), English can shorten "types of fruit" to simply "fruits." Thus, while we're saying "my favorite fruits," we really mean "my favorite types of fruit."
I hope this helps answer your question. Please let me know if it doesn't.
