List of 8-letter Fruits that contain A

    1

    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.

    2

    Canistel

    Pouteria campechiana

    A bright orange Caribbean fruit (also called egg-fruit) with the dry mealy texture of a hard-boiled egg yolk — eaten fresh, in shakes, or as a chilled custard.

    3

    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.

    4

    Jalapeno

    Capsicum annuum

    A medium-hot Mexican chili pepper with thick walls and bright vegetal heat — eaten fresh, pickled, smoked into chipotles, or stuffed and breaded.

    5

    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.

    6

    Plantain

    Musa × paradisiaca

    A starchier cousin of the banana, eaten cooked across tropical cuisines from West Africa to Latin America to South Asia — fried, mashed, boiled, or grilled, but rarely raw.

    7

    Quandong

    Santalum acuminatum

    Australia's native peach — a small, bright red fruit with tart, tangy flesh and a large deeply ridged stone; a staple of Aboriginal Australian diet for thousands of years, now increasingly used in Australian native cuisine and bush food products.

    8

    Rambutan

    Nephelium lappaceum

    A small Southeast Asian fruit with a fluorescent red shell covered in soft pliable spines, opening to reveal lychee-like translucent flesh — visually startling, mild and sweet to eat.

    9

    Tamarind

    Tamarindus indica

    A sticky brown pod-fruit with intensely tart-sweet pulp — fundamental to Indian, Southeast Asian, Mexican, and Caribbean cuisines, providing sour acidity in pad thai, chutneys, and chamoy.

    10

    Tayberry

    Rubus fruticosus × idaeus

    A 1970s Scottish blackberry-raspberry hybrid named for the river Tay — long sweet-tart wine-red fruit with intense flavor, popular in home gardens but virtually absent from supermarkets.

    11

    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.
