Interactive Picklist with JSON object in Powershell - arrays

Question

Here is my issue - I have a Powershell script that calls a bunch of information from an API, that comes in as JSON.
As an example (not the actual output, but good enough for my issue):
{
"fruit":[
{
"Type": "Apple",
"ID": 1
},
{
"Type": "Bannana",
"ID": 2
}
]
}
The API that is called has a search variable that is specified by the user, depending on what they specify, the API could return No results, a single result or multiple results.
What I want to do is to present the user with a list of Fruit, based off of the type field and an option: e.g.:
Press 1 for Apples
Press 2 for Bannanas
Press 0 to enter a new search field
If there are more options then obviously Press X for XXXX until all the options are accounted for.
I suspect I will have to do some form of loop through the JSON list to populate a set of fields, - I've never had an interactive section like this in a PS Script.

So - in the end, this was what I did to fix it - thanks to the commentors who pointed me in the right direction:
$variablearray = #()
$i = 1
foreach($_ in $fruitnames){
New-Variable -Name "$i" -Value $_
$variablearray += $i
$i = $i +1
}
$optionsarray = #()
$optionsarray += $Zero
foreach($_ in $variablearray){
$word = Convert-NumbertoWords $_
$tmp2 = (get-variable -name $_).value
$tmp = echo $word[1].trim()
$tmp3 = New-Object System.Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription "$tmp", "$tmp2"
New-Variable -Name $tmp -Value $tmp3
$optionsarray += $tmp3
}
#Combine the options array to an actual options object
$options = [System.Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription[]]($optionsarray)
#prompt the user for the choice
$title = 'Select the Fruit'
$message = 'Hover over each option to check what the description is'
$result = $host.ui.PromptForChoice($title, $message, $options, 0)
}
It loops through all the JSON Elements, creates a set of variables (this is needed for other parts of the script and for ease of use) and then creates an options array and then prompts the user for input.
