List of 1-syllable Fruits that end with E

1

Date

Phoenix dactylifera

The sweet sticky fruit of the date palm, dried and energy-dense, a staple of Middle Eastern and North African cuisine for thousands of years.

2

Grape

Vitis vinifera (Old World) / Vitis labrusca (American)

A small berry of a woody vine, eaten fresh, dried as raisins, or fermented into wine — one of humanity's oldest cultivated fruits.

3

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.

4

Quince

Cydonia oblonga

A pear-shaped, fragrant, hard-fleshed fruit eaten almost exclusively cooked — the basis of Spanish *membrillo* paste and a foundational ingredient in Mediterranean and Persian sweets.

5

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.
