⚠️ The trap
In Italian, 'frutta' is used when ordering or buying fruit as a category. 'Frutto' is a single piece or used figuratively ('il frutto del lavoro' = the fruits of labour).
To say "edible produce from plants" in Italian:
frutto (singular specific); frutta (collective, for the food category)
