Morphology

fruited = fruit (transparent) = fruit + ed

Formed by the productive addition of -ed to 'fruit' to mean 'having or containing fruit', which is directly inferable by learners.

Etymology

Fruited comes from the simple word fruit and the older Latin fructus, which means 'fruit' or 'enjoyment'. So fruited foods are those 'with fruit' or that contain pieces of fruit.
