3-syllable Fruits that contain P

List of 3-syllable Fruits that contain P

1

Apricot

Prunus armeniaca

A small velvet-skinned orange stone fruit with a brief season — eaten fresh, dried, or jammed across cuisines from Persian to Provençal.

2

Black Sapote

Diospyros nigra

A green-skinned Mexican fruit whose ripe interior turns into a thick chocolate-pudding-like brown mash — eaten with a spoon or used as a vegan chocolate substitute.

3

Cactus Pear

Opuntia ficus-indica

A magenta-fleshed prickly cactus fruit (also called prickly pear or tuna) with a sweet melon-watermelon flavor — heavily harvested in Mexico, Sicily, and the American Southwest.

4

Cantaloupe

Cucumis melo var. cantalupensis (European); var. reticulatus (American)

An orange-fleshed netted melon — the muskmelon of summer markets, named after a papal estate in Italy, eaten chilled with prosciutto or as a breakfast staple.

5

Cempedak

Artocarpus integer

A close cousin of jackfruit grown across Malaysia and Indonesia — smaller, sweeter, more pungent, and rarely seen outside Southeast Asia because of its overpowering smell.

6

Crab Apple

Malus sylvestris (European wild crab); Malus hupehensis and others (ornamental crab varieties)

The wild ancestor of all cultivated apples — small, intensely sour or bitter fruits from wild and ornamental trees, generally too harsh to eat raw but exceptional for making jelly, cider, and crab apple wine; the pectin-rich juice gels easily and the flavour — honeyed, floral, and tart — is unlike any cultivated apple.

7

Grapefruit

Citrus paradisi

A large bitter-tart citrus, a hybrid of pomelo and sweet orange that emerged in 18th-century Barbados, eaten fresh or juiced and famous for drug interactions.

8

Nashi Pear

Pyrus pyrifolia

The Asian pear — round, apple-shaped, with golden-yellow skin and exceptionally crisp, juicy, grainy white flesh; doesn't soften like European pears but is eaten firm and crunchy, with a clean sweet flavour.

9

Papaya

Carica papaya

A tropical melon-like fruit with vivid orange flesh, central black seeds, and an enzyme that tenderizes meat — eaten ripe and unripe in different cuisines.

10

Passion Fruit

Passiflora edulis

A small purple or yellow tropical fruit with intensely fragrant pulp full of crunchy edible seeds — the wow ingredient of cocktails, sorbets, and Latin American desserts.

11

Persimmon

Diospyros kaki (Asian); D. virginiana (American)

An orange-red fall fruit with two distinct varieties — astringent (must be fully ripe) and non-astringent (eaten firm) — central to Korean and Japanese autumn traditions, dried into kaki sticks.

12

Physalis

Physalis peruviana

The golden berry in a papery lantern — physalis (cape gooseberry) is a small, bright orange berry enclosed in a papery husk that peels back like a Chinese lantern to reveal the sweet-sharp fruit inside; used as a decorative garnish on desserts, eaten fresh, and made into jam; not related to the gooseberry despite the name.

13

Pineapple

Ananas comosus

A tropical multiple fruit with spiky armor and a crown of leaves, sweet and acidic, eaten fresh, juiced, grilled, or canned.

14

Pineberry

Fragaria × ananassa

A white strawberry with red seeds and intense pineapple-vanilla flavor — a re-bred near-extinct South American wild strawberry that's become a viral specialty fruit since 2010.

15

Pitaya

Selenicereus undatus

A stunning cactus fruit from the Americas — sold worldwide as dragon fruit — with brilliantly pink or yellow skin and speckled white or vivid red flesh dotted with tiny edible seeds, mild in flavor but extraordinary in color and nutrition.

16

Pomelo

Citrus maxima

The largest of all citrus fruits — a yellow-green Southeast Asian giant with thick pith and sweet, mild grapefruit-like flesh, an ancestor species of the modern grapefruit.

17

Raspberry

Rubus idaeus (red European); Rubus occidentalis (black North American)

A small, intensely-flavored aggregate fruit of a thorny rose-family bramble, eaten fresh or cooked into preserves, sauces, and brandy.

18

Rose Apple

Syzygium jambos and Syzygium samarangense

A pear-shaped Southeast Asian fruit (also called wax apple or jambu) with crisp pale flesh, sweet rosewater scent, and a near-empty hollow center — eaten fresh as a hot-weather refresher.

19

Star Apple

Chrysophyllum cainito

A large round Caribbean fruit with milky-sweet white pulp arranged in a star pattern around the seeds — a Jamaican and Cuban favorite eaten fresh or in the elegant Cuban dessert "matrimonio."

20

White Sapote

Casimiroa edulis

A green-skinned Mexican fruit (Casimiroa edulis) with creamy custard-like flesh and a banana-vanilla-pear flavor — citrus family relative, despite the deceptive sapote name and total lack of citrus character.
