List of 1-syllable Fruits that contain L

1

Bael

Aegle marmelos

A sacred Indian fruit tree — the bael (Bengal quince or stone apple) is one of the most revered plants in Hinduism, its trifoliate leaves used in Shiva worship; the fruit is a hard-shelled sphere the size of a large orange, with dry, orange, aromatic flesh inside that is eaten fresh or made into a beloved Indian drink; dried bael slices are a staple of traditional Ayurvedic medicine.

2

Lime

Citrus aurantiifolia (Key); Citrus latifolia (Persian); others

A small, intensely acidic green citrus — the namesake of "limey" sailors, the soul of margaritas and ceviche, with the Persian and Key versions producing distinct flavors despite similar appearance.

3

Plum

Prunus domestica (European); Prunus salicina (Japanese)

A small to medium-sized stone fruit of the rose family, with hundreds of varieties from the deep purple Damson of Britain to the golden Mirabelle of Lorraine — eaten fresh, dried into prunes, or made into liqueurs and sauces.

4

Sloe

Prunus spinosa

The fruit of the blackthorn — a small, purple-black berry so astringent when eaten raw that it causes involuntary puckering; almost exclusively used to make sloe gin by macerating the frost-damaged berries in gin with sugar for months.
