List of 4-letter Fruits that contain L

    1

    Amla

    Phyllanthus emblica

    The Indian gooseberry — a small, translucent greenish-yellow fruit of extreme sourness and bitterness, one of the richest natural sources of vitamin C; sacred in Hindu tradition and the foundation of Ayurvedic medicine for 5,000 years.

    2

    Bael

    Aegle marmelos

    A sacred Indian fruit tree — the bael (Bengal quince or stone apple) is one of the most revered plants in Hinduism, its trifoliate leaves used in Shiva worship; the fruit is a hard-shelled sphere the size of a large orange, with dry, orange, aromatic flesh inside that is eaten fresh or made into a beloved Indian drink; dried bael slices are a staple of traditional Ayurvedic medicine.

    3

    Lime

    Citrus aurantiifolia (Key); Citrus latifolia (Persian); others

    A small, intensely acidic green citrus — the namesake of "limey" sailors, the soul of margaritas and ceviche, with the Persian and Key versions producing distinct flavors despite similar appearance.

    4

    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.

    5

    Plum

    Prunus domestica (European); Prunus salicina (Japanese)

    A small to medium-sized stone fruit of the rose family, with hundreds of varieties from the deep purple Damson of Britain to the golden Mirabelle of Lorraine — eaten fresh, dried into prunes, or made into liqueurs and sauces.

    6

    Sloe

    Prunus spinosa

    The fruit of the blackthorn — a small, purple-black berry so astringent when eaten raw that it causes involuntary puckering; almost exclusively used to make sloe gin by macerating the frost-damaged berries in gin with sugar for months.
