2-syllable Fruits that contain U

List of 2-syllable Fruits that contain U

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

Guava

Psidium guajava

A round green or yellow tropical fruit with intensely fragrant pink or white flesh — a global tropical orchard staple that ranges from sweet snack fruit to ingredient for pastes, juice, and preserves.

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

Jambul

Syzygium cumini

A purple-black Indian summer fruit (also called jamun, java plum) with bright purple juice that stains everything — a beloved street snack and a classic Ayurvedic remedy for diabetes.

5

Jujube

Ziziphus jujuba

A small Asian fruit (also called Chinese date or red date) that turns from apple-crisp green to wrinkled-skinned brown-red as it dries — eaten fresh, dried, or simmered in tonics.

6

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.

7

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.

8

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.

9

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.

10

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.

11

Rhubarb

Rheum rhabarbarum

The vegetable that acts like a fruit — rhubarb's bright red-green stalks are so acidic they cannot be eaten without sugar, but when cooked with sugar they produce a tart, uniquely flavoured ingredient for pies, crumbles, and jam; forced Yorkshire rhubarb, grown in dark sheds, is a protected food with a distinctive pale pink colour and more delicate flavour.

12

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.

13

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.

14

Yuzu

Citrus junos

A small bumpy yellow Japanese citrus that's all aroma and almost no juice — used for zest and a few drops of intensely fragrant juice, central to Japanese cuisine and increasingly to Western cocktails.
