List of 9-letter Fruits that contain A

    1

    Calamansi

    Citrus × microcarpa (syn. Calamondin)

    A tiny citrus from Southeast Asia — a cross between mandarin orange and kumquat, producing a small round fruit with orange flesh and a thin green skin; intensely sour with aromatic orange notes, indispensable in Filipino and Malaysian cooking.

    2

    Cherimoya

    Annona cherimola

    A heart-shaped Andean fruit with green dimpled skin and creamy custard-like flesh — described by Mark Twain as "the most delicious fruit known to men," with a flavor that combines banana, pineapple, and strawberry.

    3

    Crab Apple

    Malus sylvestris (European wild crab); Malus hupehensis and others (ornamental crab varieties)

    The wild ancestor of all cultivated apples — small, intensely sour or bitter fruits from wild and ornamental trees, generally too harsh to eat raw but exceptional for making jelly, cider, and crab apple wine; the pectin-rich juice gels easily and the flavour — honeyed, floral, and tart — is unlike any cultivated apple.

    4

    Cranberry

    Vaccinium macrocarpon

    A small, intensely tart red berry of North American wetlands — turned into Thanksgiving sauce by colonial Americans and into urinary-tract-infection folklore by mid-20th-century medicine.

    5

    Greengage

    Prunus domestica italica (Reine Claude group)

    The most complex and honey-sweet of all plums — a green-skinned, golden-fleshed European plum with a flavour of remarkable depth, described as combining honey, apricot, and fresh cream; considered by many to be the best-tasting plum variety, though its thin skin, tendency to split, and small size make it commercially unviable.

    6

    Hala Fruit

    Pandanus tectorius

    A spectacular spiked Pacific Islander fruit that looks like a colorful pineapple-grenade hybrid — eaten fresh in some islands, used as floss thread or paint brush in others.

    7

    Jackfruit

    Artocarpus heterophyllus

    The largest tree-borne fruit in the world — up to 35 kg — with sweet yellow flesh when ripe and a meaty texture used as a vegan meat substitute when unripe.

    8

    Mandarine

    Citrus reticulata

    A small loose-skinned orange citrus — the original ancestor species behind clementines, satsumas, tangerines, and most modern winter snack-citrus varieties.

    9

    Nashi Pear

    Pyrus pyrifolia

    The Asian pear — round, apple-shaped, with golden-yellow skin and exceptionally crisp, juicy, grainy white flesh; doesn't soften like European pears but is eaten firm and crunchy, with a clean sweet flavour.

    10

    Nectarine

    Prunus persica var. nucipersica

    A smooth-skinned variant of the peach, the same species genetically with one gene difference, often slightly more tart and aromatic than its fuzzy cousin.

    11

    Pineapple

    Ananas comosus

    A tropical multiple fruit with spiky armor and a crown of leaves, sweet and acidic, eaten fresh, juiced, grilled, or canned.

    12

    Raspberry

    Rubus idaeus (red European); Rubus occidentalis (black North American)

    A small, intensely-flavored aggregate fruit of a thorny rose-family bramble, eaten fresh or cooked into preserves, sauces, and brandy.

    13

    Rose Apple

    Syzygium jambos and Syzygium samarangense

    A pear-shaped Southeast Asian fruit (also called wax apple or jambu) with crisp pale flesh, sweet rosewater scent, and a near-empty hollow center — eaten fresh as a hot-weather refresher.

    14

    Sapodilla

    Manilkara zapota

    A small brown tropical fruit with grainy sweet flesh tasting of brown sugar and pear — the same species as chico fruit, with an even longer history as the original chewing-gum source.

    15

    Star Apple

    Chrysophyllum cainito

    A large round Caribbean fruit with milky-sweet white pulp arranged in a star pattern around the seeds — a Jamaican and Cuban favorite eaten fresh or in the elegant Cuban dessert "matrimonio."

    16

    Star Fruit

    Averrhoa carambola

    A tropical fruit with a distinctive five-ridged shape that produces a perfect five-pointed star when sliced crosswise — crisp, juicy, and sweet-tart, and widely used in Asian cooking as much as a vegetable as a dessert fruit.

    17

    Tamarillo

    Solanum betaceum

    A small egg-shaped tropical fruit also called tree tomato, with tangy red-orange flesh that bridges fruit and vegetable in cooking.

    18

    Tangerine

    Citrus tangerina (a mandarin variety)

    A small, sweet, easy-to-peel citrus fruit, a member of the mandarin orange family that gives most modern citrus hybrids their sweetness.
