Apricot
This fuzzy fruit can make you feel fuzzy all over because it can have a calming effect on the body. It is used frequently as a base in essential oils. Even William Shakespeare mentions the apricot in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Long ago, the fruit was used to symbolize female genitalia because of its shape.
