List of Fruits That End With T
2
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.
3
Blackcurrant
Ribes nigrum
A small intensely-flavored European berry that's a household staple in Britain and Eastern Europe but virtually unknown in the US — banned for decades to protect the timber industry.
4
Breadfruit
Artocarpus altilis
A large green tropical fruit with starchy white flesh that bakes to a bread-like texture — staple food across the Pacific Islands and Caribbean, the cargo that triggered the famous Mutiny on the Bounty.
5
Chico Fruit
Manilkara zapota
Another name for sapodilla — a small brown Mexican-Filipino fruit with grainy sweet flesh tasting of brown sugar and pear, tied to the same tree that produces chicle (chewing-gum sap).
6
Coconut
Cocos nucifera
The seed of a tropical palm, technically a drupe rather than a nut, source of oil, milk, water, flesh, and one of the most-used ingredients in tropical cooking.
7
Dragon Fruit
Hylocereus undatus, H. costaricensis, H. megalanthus
The visually striking fruit of a Central American climbing cactus — bright pink-red shell with green spiky scales, opening to white or magenta flesh dotted with tiny black seeds.
8
Grapefruit
Citrus paradisi
A large bitter-tart citrus, a hybrid of pomelo and sweet orange that emerged in 18th-century Barbados, eaten fresh or juiced and famous for drug interactions.
9
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.
10
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.
11
Kiwifruit
Actinidia deliciosa
A small fuzzy brown fruit with vivid green flesh and tiny black seeds, originally a Chinese gooseberry, rebranded by New Zealand growers to global fame.
12
Kumquat
Citrus japonica (formerly Fortunella spp.)
A miniature olive-sized citrus eaten whole, peel and all — sweet skin, tart flesh, and a contradiction in your mouth that makes them addictive snacking fruit across East Asia.
13
Langsat
Lansium parasiticum
A small, grape-sized tropical fruit of Southeast Asia — langsat grows in tight pendant clusters on the trunk and branches of tall trees, with thin, yellow-brown skin that releases a milky latex when broken; the translucent, jelly-like flesh is divided into segments, varying from sweet-tart to slightly bitter depending on how the seed is handled when eating; a beloved fresh fruit in Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
14
Loquat
Eriobotrya japonica
A small orange-yellow Asian fruit with sweet-tart flesh and a few large seeds — common in Mediterranean and Asian gardens but rarely in supermarkets, eaten fresh, in jam, or in liqueur.
15
Miracle Fruit
Synsepalum dulcificum
A small West African red berry that **temporarily makes sour foods taste sweet** — chewing one transforms lemon and vinegar into sugary treats for about an hour.
16
Momordica Fruit
Siraitia grosvenorii
A bumpy bright-orange East Asian fruit (also called luo han guo or monk fruit) — its concentrated extract has become a popular zero-calorie sweetener that's hundreds of times sweeter than sugar.
17
Passion Fruit
Passiflora edulis
A small purple or yellow tropical fruit with intensely fragrant pulp full of crunchy edible seeds — the wow ingredient of cocktails, sorbets, and Latin American desserts.
18
Plumcot
Prunus salicina × Prunus armeniaca
A 50/50 plum-apricot hybrid created by Luther Burbank in the 1880s — the original parent of pluots, apriums, and the entire modern stone-fruit hybrid family.
19
Redcurrant
Ribes rubrum
A small, jewel-like red berry — translucent, intensely tart, and a classic Northern European garden fruit used in jellies, sauces for game, and showcase dessert garnishes.
20
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.
21
Ugli Fruit
Citrus reticulata × paradisi
A bumpy, lopsided Jamaican citrus hybrid of grapefruit, orange, and tangerine — the trademarked name reflects its homely appearance, which conceals juicy, sweet flesh.
22
White Currant
Ribes rubrum (white-fruited variant)
A pale translucent variety of redcurrant — sweeter, less acidic, eaten fresh more than its red sibling, and once a fixture of Victorian dessert tables for its jewel-like appearance.
23
Zucchini (botanical fruit)
Cucurbita pepo
Botanically a fruit (a *pepo* berry) though treated culinarily as a vegetable, the zucchini is the most-grown summer squash and a green-skinned, tender-fleshed kitchen workhorse.
