{{for|fruits in Pikmin Bloom|Fruit (Pikmin Bloom)}}
'''Fruits''' are the main collectible item in {{p3}}. There are 66 fruits scattered around 4 of the 5 [[area]]s of the game, and collecting them is necessary to complete the game. They are the reason for [[Alph]], [[Brittany]], and [[Charlie]]'s journey to [[PNF-404]], as the collection of seeds from fruits is necessary to solve the worldwide hunger crisis on their home planet of [[Koppai]].

Fruits are found in specific locations of specific areas, usually accompanied by some sort of challenge which must be completed to access them. Some fruits are split into parts, where all parts must be recovered before the fruit is recognized as collected. On top of working towards the goal of kick-starting cultivation on Koppai, the fruits are directly useful to the explorers, as they provide bottles of [[#Juice|juice]], one of which is consumed every [[day]]. If the player runs out of juice, the game is over.

In total, there are 66 fruits, belonging to 30 different types, with some of them having appeared as treasures in {{p2}}, and all fruits later reappear as treasures in {{p4}}, bearing the same name. There is a grand total of 98 days' worth of juice, including the three bottles the explorers keep at the start as provisions. Day 99 can be played, but the Koppaites will have no juice at the end, causing a game over. In the [[Difficulty|Ultra-Spicy difficulty]] in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', there is only 49 bottles worth of juice, as the amount of juice provided from each fruit is halved. Interestingly, by highlighting day 1 on the [[day selection menu]], it'll show that at the start of that day, the explorers had 7 bottles of juice. Given that at the end of the day, there are only three bottles on the inventory, this means that when the Drake crash-landed, four of the provisions got lost.

==Golden fruit==
In addition, special golden variants of some fruits can be found in the [[Mission Mode]], [[Bingo Battle]], and [[Side Stories]] of ''Pikmin 3'' or [[Dandori Battle]]s of ''Pikmin 4''. They are collected for [[Pokos]] or {{icon|dandori|y|n=points}} instead of juice, and are worth several times the amount of their non-golden counterparts.
;''Pikmin 3''
*{{icon|Golden Grenade|y}}: a golden Cupid's Grenade, often several are found in groups or dropped by enemies.
*{{icon|Golden Sunseed|y}}: a golden Sunseed Berry, more valuable but less common than Golden Grenades.
;''Pikmin 4''
*{{icon|Golden Sniffer|y|v=P4}}: a golden Tremendous Sniffer, only  spawns once per match and often in places that [[Oatchi]] and [[Moss]] cannot reach.

==Juice==
The collection of fruits serves more than just completing the overall goal: fruit collected is juiced at the end of the [[day]] to provide rations for the explorers. The juice is stored in bottles, and a bottle is only closed and made available if it's filled to the top. If needed, the leaders will mix juice from different fruits to fill up a bottle. After all of the fruits of the day have been juiced, the crew gets the oldest bottle and consumes it, regardless of how many people there are to feed with it. As such, the amount of juice the player has will determine the number of days left they can explore. If a day ends and there are no more bottles of juice, the player is taken to the game over screen, although they are allowed to retry from a previous day.

Different fruits provide different amounts of juice, with the lowest possible being half a cup, the maximum being 3, and the average being 1.4. The bottles have some [[Koppaite text]] on them. On the glass, there is the text {{kt|F|J}} ("FJ"), which could mean "fruit juice". On the frame, the word {{kt|S|U|R|V|I|V|A|L}} ("survival") can be read.

===Blending===
[[File:Weird Juice.jpg|thumb|The result of mixing a [[Juicy Gaggle]] and a [[Zest Bomb]].]]
When two different juices are placed on the same bottle, the resulting juice's color will end up as a blend between the two. This is purely aesthetic and affects only the color seen on the bottle. To determine the final color, the game averages the hue and value components of both the existing and the new juice. This works fine for most cases, but can have some oddities; in the case where the player collects a [[Juicy Gaggle]] and a [[Zest Bomb]] and their juices are combined, this results in the color #00FFE5, which is a vibrant blue. Although this color blend is correct, it does not look very natural; indeed, in the real world, combining raspberry and lime juice results in a grayish-brown mix.

That said, there is an exception for the first fruit of a [[saved game]]. When the player collects the first fruit, a [[cutscene]] plays showing said fruit being juiced. For unknown reasons, this cutscene affects the coloring calculations. If this fruit did not fill up a bottle, then when the player collects a second fruit, the resulting juice color will be more biased towards the first fruit collected. This can be seen easily with the aforementioned Juicy Gaggle and Zest Bomb &ndash; if the player collects one of these as their first fruit, the resulting "blue" juice will end up being greener or bluer than normal.{{cite youtube|yVkI5KdSNHk|demonstrating the different outcomes for blue juice|published={{date|21|September|2020}}|retrieved={{date|23|September|2020}}}}

==Fruit File==
[[File:Pikmin 3 Fruit File.jpg|thumb|A screenshot of the completed Fruit File.]]
{{main|KopPad#Fruit File|t1=KopPad}}
The Fruit File is one of the options available on the [[KopPad]]. It provides information on all collected pieces of fruit, and by tapping on fruit, the player can read [[Brittany's Notes]] on it.

==Piktamin U==
"Piktamin U" is a vitamin that the [[Koppai]]tes claim is in some fruits. Its name is a portmanteau of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and vitamin, and the "U" in the vitamin's name is a reference to the [[Wii U]]. Even the [[Golden Sunseed]] and [[Golden Grenade]] are said in [[Mission Mode]] tips to contain large amounts of Piktamin U, despite their composition.{{cite quote|Golden Sunseeds are packed with Piktamin U! One of these gives you {{pokos|200|y|v=P3}}!|[[Loading]] screen tip|Mission Mode}}{{cite quote|Golden Grenades are packed with Piktamin U! One of these gives you {{pokos|100|y|v=P3}}!|[[Loading]] screen tip|Mission Mode}}

==Treasures as fruits==
Some [[treasure]]s in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' are fruits, particularly those in the [[Succulent Series]]. Most of these returned in ''Pikmin 3'' with the same name:

*{{icon|Cupid's Grenade|y|v=TH}}: same as the ''Pikmin 3'' fruit. It weighs 3 instead of 1.
*{{icon|Sunseed Berry|y|v=TH}}: same as the ''Pikmin 3'' fruit. It weighs 5 instead of 3.
*{{icon|Combustion Berry|y}}: a larger strawberry.
*{{icon|Seed of Greed|y}}: a chestnut; botanically a fruit.
*{{icon|Disguised Delicacy|y|v=TH}}: same as the ''Pikmin 3'' fruit. However, it is only one slice and weighs 15 instead of 5.
*{{icon|Insect Condo|y|v=TH}}: same as the ''Pikmin 3'' fruit. It weighs 15 instead of 10.
*{{icon|Citrus Lump|y|v=TH}}: same as the ''Pikmin 3'' fruit. It weighs 15 instead of 5.

Additionally, some treasures in other series are botanically fruits, but not considered as such for culinary purposes. None return in ''Pikmin 3'', though the Love Nugget returned in ''Pikmin 4''.

==Trivia==
*According to [[Brittany]]'s notes, [[Alph]] is allergic to both the [[Heroine's Tear]] and the [[Scaly Custard]], although the latter is only stated in the European version.
*Including [[Mission Mode]] and [[Bingo Battle]], the Cupid's Grenade is the most common normal fruit in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', appearing 20 times. The most common golden fruit is the [[Golden Grenade]], appearing 23 times.
*All the fruits in ''Pikmin 3'' appear to be fresh and undamaged, which is odd, considering some of them are buried, underwater, not growing on any plant (except a few), and even ingested by creatures. This is likely to make them more easily recognizable.
*Next to the [[Sunseed Berry]] in the Garden of Hope along the path to the Rock Onion, an unripe strawberry on a stem can be seen to the right of the ripe fruit. While this fruit never grows, it implies that more fruit can grow on PNF-404 over time.
*The Fruit Files for [[Dawn Pustules]] and [[Dusk Pustules]] state 20 Pikmin are needed to carry them. While there are 20 grapes to carry in each, just one Pikmin can hypothetically handle the entire task by carrying one at a time.
