You say vegetables and fruits are healthy.
I love vegetables; i love fruits. You say it like this because you are talking generally about a group; you aren't talking about a specific fruit or vegetable.
A fruit that I like is an apple.
A vegetable that I like is a cucumber.
Hope this helps!

Hi

"vegetables and fruit are healthy"- it is correct
vegetable[singular]- vegetables [plural]
fruit [singular] - fruit [plural] or fruits[types of fruit]
"Fruit" is one of the English zero plural nouns when talking about number :

e.g sheep[sg.] - sheep [pl.]
deer [sg.] - deer[pl.]
trout[sg.] - trout[pl.], etc.
It is also called "plural by zero affixation"
