As a noun meaning the edible part of a plant, "fruit" is singular.

For example "edible fruit". The plural would be "fruits" when speaking of several kinds of fruit. (notice the 's' on kinds means no 's' on fruit).

The noun 'fruit' is an uncountable (mass) noun for a substance. The plural form 'fruits' is reserved for 'types of' or 'kinds of' fruit.

If you want to emphasize variety, you can make it plural by adding 's'. "There were many fruits on the breakfast bar." This would be understood to mean that there were more than one type of fruit laid out.

"There was fruit on the breakfast bar." would indicate that there was at least one kind of fruit and you could infer that the diversity was not notable.

You can use fruits or just plain fruit as the plural. Adding the s usually means you are referring to more than one variety of fruit.
