Stone Fruits
The Google product category ID for Stone Fruits is 503760. It sits under Fresh & Frozen Fruits and has 6 subcategories of its own, so it is a predefined value you can send as it stands — but one of those 6 is usually the closer answer, and an interior category fits when a product genuinely spans the ones below.

Where this sits in the taxonomy
Measured by how much sits beneath them, Stone Fruits is second largest of the 43 categories under Fresh & Frozen Fruits, with 6 categories below it. Size is not correctness — a small category is the right answer when it is the right answer — but it does tell you how much of the taxonomy you are still choosing between once you pick this branch.
Stone FruitsApricots
The longest route down from here runs 1 more level, ending at Apricots (6567) on level 6: Stone Fruits › Apricots. Most branches stop sooner than that — the figure to compare it against is the seven levels Google's taxonomy allows, not the depth of the branch next door.

Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (503760) or the full path ("Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Fruits & Vegetables > Fresh & Frozen Fruits > Stone Fruits"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone. Before sending it, check whether one of the 6 subcategories below fits — a narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.
In your feed, it looks like this
Either row below is accepted. The first is the one to send.
| id | title | google_product_category |
|---|---|---|
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | 503760 |
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | "Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Fruits & Vegetables > Fresh & Frozen Fruits > Stone Fruits" |
This path contains a comma, so the cell has to be quoted: unquoted, a CSV reader splits "Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Fruits & Vegetables > Fresh & Frozen Fruits > Stone Fruits" into 2 columns and the row stops lining up with its header. The numeric ID, 503760, contains no comma.
What sits under Stone Fruits
6 subcategories. A narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things, so prefer one of these when it fits.
All 6 of them are leaves: none of the subcategories under Stone Fruits continues any further, so one of those 6 names is the most specific value this branch can give you.
Questions about Stone Fruits
What is the Google product category ID for Stone Fruits?
503760. The full path, "Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Fruits & Vegetables > Fresh & Frozen Fruits > Stone Fruits", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.
Should I use Stone Fruits or one of its subcategories?
Prefer a subcategory when one fits: Stone Fruits has 6 directly below it, starting with Apricots (6567), Cherries (6601), Mangoes (6646), and 6 in total further down. 503760 is itself a predefined value, so an interior category is not an error — it just groups the product more broadly than a subcategory would.
Where does Stone Fruits sit in the taxonomy?
At level 5, under Fresh & Frozen Fruits (5795). The chain from the top is Food, Beverages & Tobacco → Food Items → Fruits & Vegetables → Fresh & Frozen Fruits → Stone Fruits. If your product does not belong under Fresh & Frozen Fruits, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Stone Fruits is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Fresh & Frozen Fruits first — there are 42 other categories at this level: Apples (6566), Atemoyas (6571), Avocados (6572), Babacos (6573), Bananas (6574), Berries (6582), and 36 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Fresh & Frozen Fruits (5795) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How much more specific can I get than Stone Fruits?
1 level more. The longest route down from Stone Fruits is Stone Fruits > Apricots, ending at Apricots (6567) on level 6. Not every branch below Stone Fruits runs that far, so the category that fits your product may stop earlier than this one does.
How big is Stone Fruits compared with the categories next to it?
It is second largest of the 43 at its level, carrying 6 categories below it. A bigger category is not a better one — it just means more of the taxonomy is still open below you after you pick it.
