The flash cards in Learning Spanish One for plural and singular do not show a plural for them.

Thanks. I have to watch my spelling, I didn't even catch that when I proof read. I really like this question section. - rita-elgert, Oct 15, 2011

No, las frutas and los panes are quite common when there is more than one kind of fruit or bread.
Las frutas
Los panes
Los panes y los peces

Beautiful presentation as a teaching tool! - kmaakheru, Oct 15, 2011
Thanks. Los panes in the last picture is closer to "loaves" than "breads", of course. - KevinB, Oct 15, 2011

Great question!
"Las frutas" is not unusual to hear, in the sense of of something along the line of "Muchas frutas son una fuente de vitaminas". However, the singular is more common, just as it is in English.
"Los panes" would be more unusual. Instead of hearing something like "Muchos panes" you would hear "Muchas variedades de pan".
However, there are so many different regions of the Spanish speaking world, that it would certainly be possible.
