List of 2-syllable Fruits that start with P

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.
