List of 2-syllable Fruits that contain O

    1

    Citron

    Citrus medica

    The ancient ancestor of all citrus fruits — a large, rough-skinned yellow fruit valued more for its thick, fragrant pith and essential oil than its sparse, acidic juice; the etrog used in Jewish Sukkot ritual and the source of candied peel worldwide.

    2

    Damson

    Prunus domestica subsp. insititia

    A small, intensely tart purple-blue plum almost too astringent to eat fresh — the British countryside fruit of choice for jam, gin, and preserves.

    3

    Lemon

    Citrus limon

    A bright yellow citrus with sharply acidic juice and aromatic peel — possibly the single most-used fruit in the global kitchen for its capacity to brighten everything.

    4

    Longan

    Dimocarpus longan

    A small Asian fruit related to lychee but smaller, milder, and with a clear translucent flesh — the "dragon eye" of Chinese markets, eaten fresh or dried as a tonic ingredient.

    5

    Loquat

    Eriobotrya japonica

    A small orange-yellow Asian fruit with sweet-tart flesh and a few large seeds — common in Mediterranean and Asian gardens but rarely in supermarkets, eaten fresh, in jam, or in liqueur.

    6

    Lulo

    Solanum quitoense

    A bright orange Andean fruit (also called naranjilla) that looks like a small tomato but tastes like a tart pineapple-citrus-rhubarb mash — a Colombian and Ecuadorian breakfast-juice essential.

    7

    Mango

    Mangifera indica

    A tropical drupe known as the "king of fruits" in South Asia, prized for its sweet, juicy flesh and grown across more than 100 countries.

    8

    Melon

    Cucumis melo

    The general category covering hundreds of *Cucumis melo* varieties — cantaloupes, honeydews, galias, casabas, and dozens more — eaten across cultures from breakfast to dessert.

    9

    Noni

    Morinda citrifolia

    A striking, waxy, pungent tropical fruit — the noni (Indian mulberry) produces lumpy, white-yellow fruit year-round on small trees throughout the Pacific and Indian Ocean tropics; the ripe fruit has a powerful, distinctively unpleasant smell that has earned it nicknames including cheese fruit and vomit fruit; despite this, it has been consumed by Pacific Islander peoples for millennia and became a major health food fad in the early 2000s.

    10

    Olive

    Olea europaea

    A small drupe whose **inedible-fresh** bitter flesh becomes an essential Mediterranean food only after curing — eaten as table olives or pressed into the world's oldest culinary oil.

    11

    Orange

    Citrus sinensis (sweet) / Citrus aurantium (bitter)

    A bright citrus with sweet juicy flesh and aromatic peel, the world's most widely cultivated fruit by tonnage and the namesake for the color itself.

    12

    Plumcot

    Prunus salicina × Prunus armeniaca

    A 50/50 plum-apricot hybrid created by Luther Burbank in the 1880s — the original parent of pluots, apriums, and the entire modern stone-fruit hybrid family.

    13

    Quandong

    Santalum acuminatum

    Australia's native peach — a small, bright red fruit with tart, tangy flesh and a large deeply ridged stone; a staple of Aboriginal Australian diet for thousands of years, now increasingly used in Australian native cuisine and bush food products.

    14

    Rose Hip

    Rosa canina (and other Rosa species)

    The fruit of the rose plant — a small, red to orange oval berry produced after the flower fades; one of the richest plant sources of vitamin C; made into syrup, jam, herbal tea, and soup, most famously as rose hip syrup distributed to British children during WWII rationing.

    15

    Sapote

    Multiple genera (Casimiroa, Pouteria, Diospyros)

    A general Spanish-language category covering several unrelated tropical fruits with soft sweet flesh — the most common are white sapote, mamey sapote, and black sapote, each from a different botanical family.

    16

    Soursop

    Annona muricata

    A spiky-skinned tropical American fruit with creamy, intensely sweet-tart white flesh — the *guanábana* of Latin American smoothies, with an aroma combining strawberry, pineapple, and citrus.
