List of 6-letter Fruits that contain R

1

Cherry

Prunus avium (sweet) / Prunus cerasus (tart)

A small stone fruit of the rose family, with sweet eating varieties and tart pie varieties — pitted and bright in pies, preserves, and liqueurs.

2

Citron

Citrus medica

The ancient ancestor of all citrus fruits — a large, rough-skinned yellow fruit valued more for its thick, fragrant pith and essential oil than its sparse, acidic juice; the etrog used in Jewish Sukkot ritual and the source of candied peel worldwide.

3

Durian

Durio zibethinus

A spiky-shelled Southeast Asian fruit with intensely pungent custard-textured flesh — banned from many hotels and public transit in Asia for its smell, but called the "King of Fruits" where it's eaten.

4

Grapes

Vitis vinifera

Small clustered berries from a woody vine — eaten fresh, dried into raisins, pressed for juice, or fermented into the world's most important beverage, wine.

5

Medlar

Mespilus germanica

An ancient European fruit that must be eaten after it has partially rotted (bletting) — small, brown, and unprepossessing, with a sweet, apple-butter-like flesh consumed only after frost has softened it; beloved in medieval Europe, nearly forgotten today.

6

Orange

Citrus sinensis (sweet) / Citrus aurantium (bitter)

A bright citrus with sweet juicy flesh and aromatic peel, the world's most widely cultivated fruit by tonnage and the namesake for the color itself.

7

Raisin

Vitis vinifera (dried)

A dried grape — concentrated sweetness from the most ancient food-preservation method, central to baking, snacking, and cuisines from Persian to Mexican to American school lunchboxes.
