How do I convert the a table of data into list entires

Question

Let's say below is a table data is stored in a variable called "data"

1 apple 50 Mary
2 banana 40 Lily
3 orange 34 Jack

# 

for i in ${data}
do
  echo $i

done


# Expected Output
1 apple 50 Mary
2 banana 40 Lily
3 orange 34 Jack

How do I convert the above table of data into three entires so that i can iterate over it using a for-loop and print that single entry in exact same format.

Any suggestion.
