The plurals are "cabbages/lettuces/fruits" in their countable form. In their uncountable form, "cabbage/lettuce/fruit" are all correct. Context will dictate which one you should use.

Please don't refer to users here as "Sir". That excludes all our female members.

I refuse to reply to them. You're a more generous person than I am, ems.
