List of Fruits That Contain V

    1

    Avocado

    Persea americana

    A creamy single-seeded berry from Central America, beloved for its buttery flesh and unusually high content of monounsaturated fats.

    2

    Caviar Lime

    Citrus australasica

    An Australian rainforest citrus whose elongated finger-shaped fruits burst with translucent pearl-like vesicles — a high-end garnish that exploded in popularity with molecular cuisine.

    3

    Guava

    Psidium guajava

    A round green or yellow tropical fruit with intensely fragrant pink or white flesh — a global tropical orchard staple that ranges from sweet snack fruit to ingredient for pastes, juice, and preserves.

    4

    Olive

    Olea europaea

    A small drupe whose **inedible-fresh** bitter flesh becomes an essential Mediterranean food only after curing — eaten as table olives or pressed into the world's oldest culinary oil.

    5

    Serviceberry

    Amelanchier canadensis (and other Amelanchier species)

    North America's versatile wild fruit — small, blueberry-sized purple-red berries from the Amelanchier shrub/tree, with a sweet, almond-flavoured flesh beloved by birds and foragers; also called Juneberry, Saskatoon, or Shadbush.

    6

    Seville Orange

    Citrus aurantium

    The bitter orange used for the world's most celebrated marmalade — too sour and pungent to eat fresh, its thick peel and intensely flavoured juice are perfect for jam-making; the brief winter season (January–February) is eagerly awaited by British marmalade makers, and the orange's history in Spain stretches to the Moorish period.

    7

    Victoria Plum

    Prunus domestica 'Victoria'

    Britain's most beloved plum — a large, oval, red-yellow plum with sweet yellow flesh and a clingstone; named after Queen Victoria, and accounting for the majority of all plum trees grown in British gardens and orchards.

    8

    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.
