3-syllable Fruits that end with A

List of 3-syllable Fruits that end with A

1

Araza

Eugenia stipitata

A bright yellow, intensely tart Amazonian fruit too acidic to eat fresh — instead processed into juice, ice cream, and the famous Peruvian araza-pisco cocktail.

2

Banana

Musa acuminata

A tropical berry of the genus Musa, the most widely consumed fruit in the world by weight, mostly grown from a single sterile clone.

3

Feijoa

Acca sellowiana

A small green ovoid fruit (also called pineapple guava) with intensely fragrant, jelly-textured flesh — a New Zealand orchard staple but virtually unknown elsewhere because it doesn't ship.

4

Lucuma

Pouteria lucuma

A subtropical Peruvian fruit with pale yellow flesh, a sweet flavour of maple, sweet potato, and vanilla combined, and very low sugar content despite its sweetness — a pre-Inca sacred fruit now popularised as a health-food sweetener globally.

5

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.

6

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.

7

Satsuma

Citrus unshiu

A small seedless Japanese mandarin variety — easy to peel, low in acid, the iconic Japanese winter fruit and the dominant mandarin in much of the American South.

8

Voavanga

Vangueria madagascariensis

A small, tart-sweet African fruit (also called Spanish tamarind) eaten fresh or made into juice, with bright orange flesh around large flat seeds and a flavor between apple and tamarind.
