[vocab question] sliced or pre-sliced?

Dear Users,

What do we call these fruits? Should I say: a pack of pre-sliced fruits? a package of sliced fruits? I'm also not sure if it should be fruits or fruit.

Thanks

Since they are not all diced, they may be called “assorted cut fruit” or (since you can see that they have been portioned for serving) “assorted fruit plate”. Bananas, oranges, and apples are in the category referred to as ‘fruit’. ”

Bananas, oranges, and apples are in the category referred to as ‘fruit’. When speaking of a particular group, “fruits that grow on trees.”

They are definitely NOT chopped.

The cantaloupe is is, perhaps, diced, but not chopped (which is much smaller) but the oranges are sliced.

Just call it "fruit salad."
