3-syllable Fruits that start with B

List of 3-syllable Fruits that start with B

1

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.

2

Bergamot

Citrus bergamia

The citrus fruit that gives Earl Grey tea its distinctive floral, perfumed flavour — a sour, pear-shaped orange-yellow fruit grown almost exclusively in Calabria, southern Italy; too bitter to eat fresh, its cold-pressed rind oil is one of the most important aromatic compounds in perfumery and flavouring.

3

Bilberry

Vaccinium myrtillus

A small dark blue European wild berry — close cousin of the blueberry, but smaller, darker, more intensely flavored, and almost impossible to cultivate commercially.

4

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.

5

Blackberry

Rubus fruticosus

A glossy black aggregate fruit of bramble vines — fierce wild thickets across temperate regions and the most-foraged fruit in many countries, with intense sweet-tart flavor and abundant seeds.

6

Blackcurrant

Ribes nigrum

A small intensely-flavored European berry that's a household staple in Britain and Eastern Europe but virtually unknown in the US — banned for decades to protect the timber industry.

7

Blood Orange

Citrus × sinensis

A red-fleshed orange variety from Sicily and Spain — its dramatic red color comes from anthocyanins triggered by cold winter nights, a chemistry trick most citrus regions can't replicate.

8

Blueberry

Vaccinium corymbosum (highbush) / V. angustifolium (lowbush)

A small, deep-blue North American berry famous for its high antioxidant content, eaten fresh or in baked goods, jams, and breakfast cereals.

9

Buddha's Hand

Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis

A bizarre yellow citrus that splits into long finger-like segments — all peel and pith with no juice or pulp, used purely for fragrance and zest.
