List of 2-syllable Fruits that contain T

1

Breadfruit

Artocarpus altilis

A large green tropical fruit with starchy white flesh that bakes to a bread-like texture — staple food across the Pacific Islands and Caribbean, the cargo that triggered the famous Mutiny on the Bounty.

2

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.

3

Jackfruit

Artocarpus heterophyllus

The largest tree-borne fruit in the world — up to 35 kg — with sweet yellow flesh when ripe and a meaty texture used as a vegan meat substitute when unripe.

4

Kumquat

Citrus japonica (formerly Fortunella spp.)

A miniature olive-sized citrus eaten whole, peel and all — sweet skin, tart flesh, and a contradiction in your mouth that makes them addictive snacking fruit across East Asia.

5

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.

6

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.

7

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.

8

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.

9

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.

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.
