Well, ok. But they are small, and you won't find any pears, apples, oranges
or bananas hanging around in the wild. So the amount of sugar paleo people
would have obtained from this source would have been relatively small. And
"fruit" seems the wrong word for this. We keep talking about fruit and
veggies, but both of these are man made. What they really are are berries,
roots, shoots and leaves. (remember the panda joke......?)
