Description The purpose of this study is to show that the lexical field with names of fruit and vegetables in Albanian is of special interest for the field of phraseology as well. Thanks to fruit and vegetables and the names of this field, man can create a language of reason and express their attitude to reality. In this study we mainly focused on the nuances and connotations of these idioms as lexical content elements that make the meaning expressed by an idiom distinct from the meaning expressed by an one-word equivalent. Our conclusion is that the observed nuances are negative, such as the idea of futility, evil, rush, etc., while as far as connotations are concerned, most of them are negative, such as the connotation of disregard, irony, derision, etc., but there is also a positive connotation, such as the connotation of admiration. Regarding the nature of the properties and actions that idioms express, 85% of them characterize man, that is, they have an anthropocentric nature.
