Generally, fruits, dry fruits, sweets, and whatever food is cooked at home can be offered as Naivedyam. The food offered to God is Naivedya, and the food eaten is Prasadam. God has created entire universe. So, who are we to offer Him anything. When anything is offered to God and then taken back for our use, it becomes Prasad, meaning grace of God.
