Rapture! Fig cultivated as a possible basis for a fad diet (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grapefruit

'a possible basis for a fad diet' is the definition.

'rapture fig cultivated' is the wordplay.
'cultivated' indicates anagramming the letters.
'rapture'+'fig'='rapturefig'
'rapturefig' is an anagram of 'GRAPEFRUIT'.

'as' is the link.
