List of 2-syllable Fruits that contain P

1

Apple

Malus domestica

A pome fruit of the rose family, originally from the mountains of Central Asia, now grown in over 7,500 named varieties across the temperate world.

2

Pawpaw

Asimina triloba

An unexpected native North American tropical-tasting fruit — soft custardy yellow flesh, banana-mango flavor, and a baffling absence from American grocery stores despite being a beloved Appalachian forest fruit.

3

Plantain

Musa × paradisiaca

A starchier cousin of the banana, eaten cooked across tropical cuisines from West Africa to Latin America to South Asia — fried, mashed, boiled, or grilled, but rarely raw.

4

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.

5

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.

6

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.

7

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.
