The verse does not mention fruits or vegetables. In chapter 1 it is recorded that Daniel ate only vegetables and water, but it is not called a fast. Rather, Daniel refused to defile himself by eating the meat provided by the king, presumably because it included forbidden meats (e.g. pork) or was not killed properly according to OT law.
