List of 2-syllable Fruits that contain S

1

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.

2

Falsa

Grewia asiatica

A small purple-black South Asian summer berry beloved for its tangy-sweet juice that's said to ward off heatstroke — a Pakistani-Indian street-food staple.

3

Langsat

Lansium parasiticum

A small, grape-sized tropical fruit of Southeast Asia — langsat grows in tight pendant clusters on the trunk and branches of tall trees, with thin, yellow-brown skin that releases a milky latex when broken; the translucent, jelly-like flesh is divided into segments, varying from sweet-tart to slightly bitter depending on how the seed is handled when eating; a beloved fresh fruit in Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

4

Raisin

Vitis vinifera (dried)

A dried grape — concentrated sweetness from the most ancient food-preservation method, central to baking, snacking, and cuisines from Persian to Mexican to American school lunchboxes.

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

Salak

Salacca zalacca

An Indonesian fruit (also called snake fruit) with reddish-brown scaly skin like a snake's, garlic-pineapple flavor, and deep ties to Balinese cultural ceremony.

7

Salal

Gaultheria shallon

A small dark Pacific Northwest forest berry — central to Coast Salish foodways, more ornamental than commercial today, but a foundation of Indigenous coastal cuisine for millennia.

8

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.

9

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.

10

Star Fruit

Averrhoa carambola

A tropical fruit with a distinctive five-ridged shape that produces a perfect five-pointed star when sliced crosswise — crisp, juicy, and sweet-tart, and widely used in Asian cooking as much as a vegetable as a dessert fruit.
