54 TYPES OF FRUIT: NUTRITION PROFILES AND HEALTH BENEFITS

Facebook1.6kTweetPin3.1kEmail54Print

There are hundreds of types of fruit in the world, and they are popular foods in
almost every culture.

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at 54 of them.

Some are common, and maybe you won’t recognize some of the more unique
varieties.

So, if you’ve ever wondered what specific nutrients a fruit has, the amount of
carbohydrates it contains, or some random trivia – you’ll find it all here.

Use the menu below if you want to jump to a specific fruit, otherwise just keep
reading.

TYPES OF FRUIT – A TO Z QUICK JUMP

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T
U V W

1. APPLE

Apples are a sweet fleshy fruit that grow around the world.

Believed to originate in Central Asia, there are now hundreds of varieties of
apples, ranging from sweet to sour.

Nutritionally speaking, apples are a relatively high-carbohydrate fruit and
their most significant nutrient is vitamin C.

They’re a very versatile fruit; while often eaten as a snack, they’re also used
in a variety of dessert recipes.

Per large apple, the nutrient profile looks like this (1);

* Calories: 104 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 27.6 g
* Fiber: 2.8 g
* Sugar: 21.8 g
* Fat: 0.3 g
* Protein: 0.6 g
* Vitamin C: 14% RDA
* Potassium: 6% RDA
* Manganese: 4% RDA
* Vitamin B6: 4% RDA
* Vitamin B2: 4% RDA

Apples come in all shapes and sizes, from Granny Smith to Pink Lady and more.

On this note, see this guide to all the apple varieties for more information,
and more specific nutritional data.

2. APRICOT

Sharing some resemblances to a peach, apricots are a small fleshy fruit that
contain a hard stone (technically a seed) in the middle.

The apricot is a popular fruit with a light orange color and it is best known
for its vitamin A and C content.

Apricots also provide various types of polyphenols, such as catechins.

Interestingly, apricots require a cold winter to grow properly, so they
generally grow in countries experiencing a true four seasons.

Here are the nutritional values per apricot (2);

* Calories: 16.8 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 3.9 g
* Fiber: 0.7 g
* Sugar: 3.2 g
* Fat: 0.1 g
* Protein: 0.5 g
* Vitamin A: 13% RDA
* Vitamin C: 6% RDA
* Potassium: 3% RDA
* Vitamin E: 2% RDA
* Phosphorus: 1% RDA

3. AVOCADO

Avocados are an interesting fruit because they are very low in carbohydrate yet
high in healthy fats.

The fruit originated in South America, possibly in Mexico or Peru, and it was
first referred to in English by the name of “crocodile pear”.

One of the best things about the avocado is just how adaptable it is.

For instance, you may have heard of ‘avocado toast’, a trendy breakfast at the
moment. However, there are many different ways to use avocados – such as making
guacamole, avocado ice-cream, chocolate mousses, and many other interesting
dishes.

Cold-pressed avocado oil also gives olive oil a run for its money in the
‘healthiest oil’ department; it’s a heat-stable fat that contains various
protective nutrients.

Avocados are extremely nutrient-dense, and they are rich in fiber, protein,
vitamins, and minerals – especially potassium.

Here is the nutrition breakdown per standard avocado (3);

* Calories: 322 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 17.1 g
* Fiber: 13.5 g
* Sugar: 0.2 g
* Fat: 29.5 g
* Protein: 4 g
* Vitamin K: 53% RDA
* Folate: 41% RDA
* Vitamin C: 33% RDA
* Potassium: 28% RDA
* Vitamin B5: 28% RDA

4. BANANA

The banana is a tropical fruit with a long body covered in a yellow skin.

It’s a very common fruit and—despite needing a hot climate—it’s available in
most countries.

Since bananas have a very sweet taste, dessert recipes often use them.

In particular, banana splits, banana milk, and banana bread are some of the most
popular options.

Due to their accessibility and inexpensive price, bananas are one of the most
popular types of fruit in the world.

One medium banana has the following nutrient profile (4);

* Calories: 105 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 27.0 g
* Fiber: 3.1 g
* Sugar: 14.4 g
* Fat: 0.4 g
* Protein: 1.3 g
* Vitamin B6: 22% RDA
* Vitamin C: 17% RDA
* Manganese: 16% RDA
* Potassium: 12% RDA
* Magnesium: 8% RDA

See here for a full guide to the nutritional benefits of bananas.

following in-depth guide to red bananas:

5. BLACKBERRIES

Blackberries are one of the tastiest fruits around.

They are a small edible fruit with a big taste, and botanically they are a kind
of berry that grow on brambles. The fruit has a sweet and succulent taste
despite being relatively low in fructose compared to most types of fruit.

Blackberries are one of the most commonly cultivated fruits. However, we can
also find them growing in their wild state – which purportedly have a better
nutritional profile and more polyphenols (5).

Combine them with some fresh cream for a delicious, sweet and creamy dessert.

Blackberries are especially good for vitamin C and the health benefits it
provides.

Nutritionally, here is what blackberries look like per 100g (6);

* Calories: 43 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 10.2 g
* Fiber: 5.3 g
* Sugar: 4.9 g
* Fat: 0.5 g
* Protein: 1.4 g
* Vitamin C: 35% RDA
* Manganese: 32% RDA
* Vitamin K: 25% RDA
* Copper: 8% RDA
* Vitamin E: 6% RDA

6. BLACKCURRANT

Black currants are a common fruit found in Europe.

Since blackcurrants have a sour and tart flavor, they are often sweetened prior
to consumption.

Due to their availability and popular flavor, they are used as a culinary fruit
in cooking – and in the development of various products.

In fact, they are one of the most commercially successful types of fruit, and
it’s easy to see blackcurrant candy, juice, soda, tea, and so on.

Per 100g, blackcurrants provide a substantial amount of vitamin C; here is the
full macro and micronutrient profile (7);

* Calories: 63 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 15.4 g
* Fiber: –
* Sugar: –
* Fat: 0.4 g
* Protein: 1.4 g
* Vitamin C: 201% RDA
* Vitamin K: 25% RDA
* Manganese: 11% RDA
* Potassium: 9% RDA
* Copper: 10% RDA

See this full guide to black currants and their nutritional benefits for more
information.

7. BLUEBERRIES

Lauded for their purported health benefits, blueberries are a fruit that just
about everyone considers healthy.

They are certainly rich in health-protective polyphenols, and they offer a
decent selection of vitamins and minerals too.

With a deep blue color, they are also attractive in their appearance.

On a positive note, research studies demonstrate that blueberries may lower high
blood pressure and improve cardiovascular risk factors (8, 9).

Blueberries are somewhat low in carbohydrate too, putting them near the top of
the low carb list of fruits.

Here’s their nutritional breakdown per 100g (10);

* Calories: 57 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 14.5 g
* Fiber: 2.4 g
* Sugar: 10 g
* Fat: 0.3 g
* Protein: 0.7 g
* Vitamin K: 24% RDA
* Manganese: 17% RDA
* Vitamin C: 16% RDA
* Vitamin B6: 3% RDA
* Vitamin E: 3% RDA

8. BOYSENBERRIES

Boysenberries are a cross between blackberries, dewberries, loganberries, and
raspberries.

Perhaps the best characteristic of this large berry is how juicy and refreshing
it is; boysenberries grow to a large size and contain around 88% water by
weight.

They have a delicious flavor too, and they offer a fairly impressive nutrition
profile. Here are their basic nutritional values;

* Calories: 43 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 9.6 g
* Fiber: 5.3 g
* Sugar: 4.3 g
* Fat: 0.5 g
* Protein: 1.4 g
* Vitamin C: 35% RDA
* Manganese: 32% RDA
* Vitamin K: 25% RDA
* Copper: 8% RDA
* Vitamin E: 7% RDA

9. CAPERS

You may not know it, but capers are actually a category of fruit.

Typically served alongside salmon and horseradish sauce, capers are a pea-sized
green fruit native to parts of the Mediterranean and Asia.

Botanically speaking, capers are flower buds from the caper bush; they are
picked and then pickled.

As a result, capers have a sharp and salty taste due to the lengthy amount of
time in brine.

However, the taste is very unique and interesting, and capers are very
flavorful.

The contrasting flavors match particularly well with fish, which is probably why
they’re often served with salmon.

In terms of nutrition, here’s a rundown per ounce (28g) serving (11);

* Calories: 6.4 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 1.4 g
* Fiber: 0.9 g
* Sugar: 0.1 g
* Fat: 0.2 g
* Protein: 0.7 g
* Vitamin K: 9% RDA
* Copper: 5% RDA
* Iron: 3% RDA
* Magnesium: 2% RDA
* Folate: 2% RDA

10. CHERIMOYA

Cherimoya is one of the most unique-looking fruits, and it has a great taste and
a decent nutritional profile too.

It is an exotic fruit with a sweet and creamy taste.

Per 100 grams, cherimoya provides (12):

* Calories: 75 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 17.7 g
* Fiber: 3.0 g
* Sugar: 12.9 g
* Fat: 0.7 g
* Protein: 1.6 g

11. CHERRY

Cherries are one of the most popular fruit varieties, and they are technically a
drupe – a fruit with a hard stone inside.

The cherry is a small fruit with a sweet and juicy taste. There are also two
main types of cherry; sour cherries and sweet cherries.

These two varieties are fairly similar, but sour cherries have the slightly
better nutritional profile.

Sour cherries predominantly grow in Russia, Eastern Europe and Southern Asia.

On the other hand, Turkey and the United States are the biggest producers of
sweet cherries.

All cherries are varying shades of red; see this guide to red fruit to learn
more about what gives fruit this red pigmentation.

Cherries are a seasonal fruit, but frozen cherries are available around the
year.

vegetables here:

12. BLACK CHOKEBERRY

Otherwise known as Aronia berries, black chokeberries are an acquired taste.

The reason for this is simple; they’re one of the most bitter-tasting foods in
existence!

However, they’re among the healthiest of fruit and contain an impressive range
of polyphenols.

To be precise, they are the 7th biggest provider of polyphenols among all foods.

Due to their bitter taste, it’s not uncommon to find chokeberries in various
sweetened foods like jam and juices. Additionally, various chokeberry wines and
teas are available.

Concerning their nutritional profile, chokeberries provide the following per
100g (14);

* Calories: 47 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 9.6 g
* Fiber: 5.3 g
* Sugar: 4.3 g
* Fat: 0.5 g
* Protein: 1.4 g
* Vitamin C: 35% RDA
* Manganese: 32% RDA
* Vitamin K: 17% RDA
* Iron: 8% RDA
* Vitamin E: 8% RDA

13. CRANBERRY

Cranberries are a small edible berry with a bright red color.

They’re a very popular commercial fruit, and they feature in all sorts of
processed food products such as juice, jam, jelly, and more.

Due to their sour nature, they are usually available in their dried form and
contain added sugar.

However, it is possible to find fresh berries, but they are very tart.

Similar to chokeberries, they contain large amounts of phytonutrients, and these
compounds tend to be very bitter or sour in nature.

Nutritionally, cranberries are a decent source of vitamin C per 100g (15);

* Calories: 46 kcal

14. DATE PALM

Date Palm, often simply referred to as ‘date’, is a sweet edible fruit believed
to originate from the Middle East region.

The date fruit tree, upon which the fruits grow, has a tropical look
and—surprisingly—one single tree produces hundreds of pounds of fruit per year.

People commonly eat the fruit in fresh and dried form.

Notably, dates are one of the sweetest types of fruit available, and they have
exceptionally high sugar content.

On that note, the dried form of the fruit is extremely sweet, so it’s not a good
idea for those on lower carb diets.

Here are the nutrients that four pitted dates provide (16);

* Calories: 66.5 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 72 g
* Fiber: 6.4 g

DRIED FRUIT

While not a specific variety of fruit, it is worth pointing out that there are
numerous varieties of dried fruit.

These dried fruit options have slightly different characteristics from fresh
fruit, but they can still provide a good range of beneficial nutrients.

15. DURIAN

Known for its peculiar scent, the durian is a giant-sized tropical fruit that’s
native to South-East Asia.

If you have ever seen a jackfruit, the durian shares a similar appearance—only
it’s much larger in size.

Durian is a popular culinary fruit and it commonly features in a variety of
Thai, Malaysian and Indonesian dishes – both sweet and savory.

By “peculiar” scent, what I really mean is “bad”. There are various words to
describe this smell, but perhaps the most telling one is “smells like a gym
sock.”

On the other hand, the taste is pretty good – sweet, creamy, and kind of nutty.

Durians have an interesting nutritional profile too. In fact, they are one of
the only fruits to contain a decent amount of carbohydrates and fat.

Per 100g, the durian supplies (17);

* Calories: 147 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 27.1g
* Fiber: 3.8 g
* Sugar: –

* Manganese: 4% RDA
* Potassium: 4% RDA

See this complete guide to durian fruit for more information.

16. ELDERBERRY

The elderberry is a small blue-to-black fruit that grows around the world.

It is also one of the most bitter types of fruit you will come across.

Due to the astringent taste, most people consume the berries as jams, teas,
juices, syrup, and other elderberry products.

Elderberry bushes are easy to cultivate, and they produce thousands of berries
each year.

Nutritionally speaking, elderberries are rich in polyphenols (hence their bitter
taste) and a great source of vitamin C.

Here is their full profile per 100g serving (18);

* Calories: 73 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 18.4 g
* Fiber: 7 g
* Sugar: –
* Fat: 0.5 g
* Protein: 0.7 g
* Vitamin C: 60% RDA

* Vitamin B6: 11% RDA
* Iron: 9% RDA
* Potassium: 8% RDA

17. GOJI BERRIES

Goji berries are a small red fruit native to China and South-Eastern Europe.
Traditionally used as a medicinal fruit, goji tea—steeped dried berries—is a
common health drink for the Chinese.

Since China is the predominant source of these berries, it’s difficult to find
goji berries in their fresh fruit form.

However, the dried form of the fruit has become increasingly popular in the West
over the past decade.

This is partly due to the unusual but delicious taste the berries have; slightly
sweet, a little bitter, chewy, and moreish.

Interestingly, goji berries are one of the only kinds of fruit to provide
carbohydrates and protein. An ounce of dried berries provides around 4g protein
(which equates to 14g per 100g).

Per ounce (28g) serving of the fruit, goji berries provide the following
nutrients (19);

* Calories: 98 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 22 g
* Fiber: 3.6 g
* Sugar: 13 g
* Fat: 0.1 g
* Protein: 4 g
* Vitamin A: 50% RDA
* Copper: 28% RDA
* Selenium: 25% RDA
* Vitamin B2: 21% RDA
* Iron: 14% RDA

18. GOLDEN BERRIES

Golden berries are another dried form of fruit that has recently become popular.

However, the true name of the fruit is ‘Peruvian groundcherry’. As the name
suggests, they are native to Peru—as well as other South American countries.

Often dubbed a ‘superfood’, the berries are trendy in healthy eating circles.

(Note: it is best to take all ‘superfood’ claims with a liberal pinch of salt.)

They have an incredibly sour taste, so give them a try if you’re one of those
people who like eating a raw lemon.

Nutritionally, like most sour-tasting fruits, they provide a good source of
vitamin C.

Per 100g, fresh Peruvian groundcherries supply (20);

* Calories: 53 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 11.2 g
* Fiber: –
* Sugar: –
* Fat: 0.7 g
* Protein: 1.9 g

19. GOOSEBERRIES

Gooseberries are delicious (but rather sour) berries that grow in numerous
different countries around the world.

The berries only have a short picking season in the summer months, and their
color can vary depending upon cultivar and level of ripeness.

Per 100 grams, gooseberries provide (21):

20. GRAPE

Grapes are one of the most prevalent types of fruit, and we can find them almost
everywhere.

Grapes are very versatile too, and they form the basis of many different wines,
juices, jams, and dessert products.

Not many people know this, but grapes are botanically a kind of berry. Although
there are thousands of different grape varieties, they are typically classified
as either white (green), red, purple, or black.

The health benefits of grapes are purported to come from their high polyphenol
content. However, grapes are also one of the highest-sugar fruits.

As a result, red wine is often thought of as a health drink since it contains
concentrated polyphenols and little sugar.

Nutritionally, 100g of fresh grapes provides (22);

* Calories: 69 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 18.1 g
* Fiber: 0.9 g
* Sugar: 15.5 g
* Fat: 0.2 g
* Protein: 0.7 g
* Vitamin C: 18% RDA
* Vitamin K: 18% RDA
* Vitamin B1: 5% RDA
* Potassium: 5% RDA
* Manganese: 4% RDA

21. GRAPEFRUIT

Grapefruit is a large citrus fruit believed to originate in Asia.

It is actually a hybrid fruit, which means that it is not an original species;
it was created by the natural crossing of an orange and a pomelo.

Grapefruit has a slightly bitter, sour, but a little bit sweet taste. There are
also different varieties of the fruit, ranging from white to pink and red.

All grapefruit are relatively high in polyphenols, notably flavonoids such as
naringinen.

Their vitamin and mineral profile is dominated by vitamin C, and a one cup
(230g) serving provides (23);

* Calories: 96 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 24.5 g
* Fiber: 3.7 g
* Sugar: 15.8 g

* Potassium: 9% RDA
* Vitamin B1: 7% RDA
* Folate: 7% RDA

22. GUAVA

Guava is a tropical fruit that grows in tropical and subtropical areas.

Generally speaking, we can find it in Mexico and elsewhere in Central and
Southern America.

Guava has an interesting appearance and it has a lime-green skin with a pink
fleshy center. Depending on the ripeness of the fruit, guavas may taste anything
from slightly sour to sweet.

Hint: as guava ripens, its green skin will slowly turn to a light yellow color.
If you want sweeter tasting guava, go for one which has tinges of yellow on its
skin.

Also, for more on yellow pigmentation in fruit, see this guide to yellow fruits:

A List of 16 Yellow Fruits & Their Nutritional Benefits

Nutritionally, guavas are an exceptional provider of vitamin C – just one small
fruit supplies 209% of the RDA.

Per fruit, the full nutritional breakdown looks like this (24);

* Calories: 37.4 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 7.9 g
* Fiber: 3.0 g

23. JACKFRUIT

Jackfruit grows in tropical regions throughout the world, but it is believed to
have originated in India.

Jackfruit has a unique name, and the fruit has an interesting appearance too. It
looks somewhat like a giant version of an avocado and it is the largest tree
fruit in the world.

In fact, one fruit can weigh as much as 35kg; imagine carrying that one home!
This tropical fruit is said to taste incredible, with a soft and sweet
peach-colored flesh waiting inside.

The consensus is that the fruit has a unique taste, and it has drawn comparisons
to all sorts of flavors. For instance, these comparisons range from pineapple
and mango to potatoes and—surprisingly—pulled pork.

Per cup, jackfruit provides various macro and micronutrients including (25);

* Calories: 155 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 39.6 g
* Fiber: 2.6 g

24. JUJUBE

Jujube is otherwise known as a ‘Chinese date’ and it has been cultivated in
China for centuries.

Playing a significant role in traditional Chinese medicine, people have
historically believed it to have many powerful effects including anti-bacterial,
anti-inflammatory, and contraceptive properties.

In terms of real scientific research, some studies suggest that it may be a
viable treatment for chronic constipation (26).

We can eat jujube either fresh, dried, or in many different processed products
such as jujube tea.

Jujube has a sweet and juicy taste when fresh, and this sweetness strengthens in
their dried state.

100g of fresh jujube provides the following nutrition (27);

* Calories: 79 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 20.2 g
* Fiber: –
* Sugar: –
* Fat: 0.2 g
* Protein: 1.2 g
* Vitamin C: 115% RDA
* Potassium: 7% RDA
* Copper: 6% RDA
* Vitamin B6: 6% RDA
* Manganese: 6% RDA

25. JUNIPER BERRIES

Juniper berries are not technically a real berry/fruit, but they are often
classified as one.

Typically, juniper berries feature as a spice in various dishes, and they are
also behind the flavor of gin.

Although juniper berries—when fresh—look a little like blueberries, they taste
completely different.

They have a bitter woody feel; slightly fruity, spicy, and a little peppery.
Owing to their flavor, they are a regular choice for flavoring and seasoning
various soups and meat-based dishes.

However, the flavor is intense so only a little is necessary — usually around
one gram. As a result, the nutrients such a small amount provides are
negligible.

26. KIWI

Kiwifruit is a soft, green and juicy edible fruit.

It has the alternate name of ‘Chinese gooseberry’ and it is one of the most
famous types of fruit in the world.

The fruit is relatively easy to grow and it’s easy to find in most developed
countries.

Kiwifruit taste slightly sour, but mostly sweet, and their green flesh and black
seeds are encased in an olive-colored furry skin.

Kiwis contain an impressive amount of vitamin C. Notably, one small fruit
contains more than the daily RDA.

Here are the nutritional details for one small kiwi (28);

* Calories: 46.4 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 11.1 g
* Fiber: 2.3 g
* Sugar: 6.8 g
* Fat: 0.4 g
* Protein: 0.9 g
* Vitamin C: 117% RDA
* Vitamin K: 38% RDA
* Potassium: 7% RDA
* Vitamin E: 6% RDA
* Copper: 4% RDA

27. KUMQUAT

Kumquats are a type of citrus fruit that share lots of similarities with
oranges.

However, they are much smaller and you can eat them whole in one go.

Their taste is quite different to the sweet taste of oranges too; specifically,
kumquats have a very tart flesh.

However, the rind is somewhat sweet, so the fruit has a contrast of sweet and
sour flavors.

This small citrus fruit now grows around the world, but it is native to South
Asia.

Similar to other citrus fruits, kumquats provide a large amount of vitamin C.
Per 3oz (85g) serving, kumquats provide (29);

* Calories: 57 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 13.5 g
* Fiber: 5.4 g
* Sugar: 7.8 g
* Fat: 0.6 g
* Protein: 0.5 g
* Vitamin C: 60% RDA

* Calcium: 6% RDA
* Manganese: 6% RDA
* Magnesium: 3% RDA

See this full guide to kumquat fruit for more information

28. LEMON

If you like sour fruits, then here’s another – the lemon is a yellow citrus
fruit native to Asia.

Lemons house a tart soft flesh behind a thick yellow skin, and they are a famous
culinary fruit. For one thing, thousands of recipes call for a squeeze of fresh
lemon juice.

Lemons also hold value for cleaning uses; the reason for this is their high
concentration of citric acid.

In addition, there is a wide variety of lemon-based food products, such as lemon
cakes, lemon juice, lemon jam, and lemon tea.

Nutritionally speaking, the major compound in lemons is vitamin C. The fruit
offers the following vitamins and minerals per standard-sized fruit (30);

* Calories: 25.8 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 25.4 g
* Fiber: 1.6 g
* Sugar: 1.5 g
* Fat: 0.2 g
* Protein: 0.6 g
* Vitamin C: 51% RDA
* Calcium: 2% RDA
* Potassium: 2% RDA
* Vitamin B1: 2% RDA
* Vitamin B6: 2% RDA

29. LIME

Very close in nature to lemons, the lime is another sour citrus fruit.

However, they both have a slight difference in flavor – lemons are slightly more
tart, while limes are bitter.

The flesh of both fruits looks very similar except for the color, and their
nutritional profile and health benefits are fairly similar too.

There are many different types of lime species, and all are believed to have
originated in Indonesia and South-Eastern Asia.

Similar to lemons, it is common to use limes for flavor in various drinks,
cocktails, and teas.

Per medium-sized fruit, limes provide (31);

* Calories: 31.3 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 7.1 g
* Fiber: 1.9 g

30. LONGAN FRUIT

Longan is a tropical fruit that belongs to the soapberry family.

This botanical family also includes the slightly better-known lychee fruit and
rambutan.

Due to the unique look of the fruit, the nickname of ‘dragon’s eye’ is common
throughout China, where the fruit may have originated.

Longans are a brilliant white, with a big black seed, surrounded by an
olive-brown skin.

Longan fruits have a soft and smooth texture inside their skin, and they are
extremely juicy. The taste is very sweet, and the fruit plays a culinary role in
many Asian dishes.

Nutritionally, a 100g serving provides (32);

* Calories: 60 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 15.1 g
* Fiber: 11.1 g
* Sugar: –
* Fat: 0.1 g
* Protein: 0.3 g
* Vitamin C: 14% RDA
* Potassium: 8% RDA
* Copper: 8% RDA
* Vitamin B2: 8% RDA
* Manganese: 3% RDA

31. LYCHEE

The lychee is a tropical fruit almost identical in nature to rambutan and longan
fruit.

For example, the flesh, nutritional profile, and flavor are all fairly similar.

However, the outer skin is the main difference. While longans have a light brown
peel that looks like potato skin, lychees and rambutan have a textured
reddish-purple outer peel.

Lychee are also slightly sweeter than longan fruit, but not as sweet as
rambutan.

The history of the lychee goes back to the mid-11th century, and it originates
in Guangdong, China. Like other types of fruit in the soapberry family, lychees
provide a huge source of vitamin C.

Here is the complete profile of lychees per 100g (33);

32. MANGO

Sometimes referred to as the “king of fruits”, mangoes are a tropical fruit with
extremely sweet and juicy flesh.

They are native to South Asia, and they’re a common fruit in countries such as
India, the Philippines, and Thailand.

Mangoes contain a stone (making them a drupe) surrounded by sweet yellow flesh;
this taste is slightly sweet, soft, and tangy.

Generally, people eat the fruit in its raw, whole state, but there are also many
smoothie and dessert recipes.

The sweet taste makes sense when we consider that mangoes are one of the highest
carbohydrate/sugar fruits.

Per cup (165g) serving, mangoes provide (34);

* Calories: 107 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 28.1 g
* Fiber: 3.0 g

33. MELON

Sticking with the higher sugar fruits, melon is another sweet-tasting fleshy
fruit.

Surprisingly, melons are—botanically speaking—a kind of berry. Not many people
realize this since melons look quite a lot different to fruits like strawberries
and blueberries!

There are many different types of the fruit, and they originate in Africa and
South West Asia.

Since melons are juicy and refreshing, they enjoy popularity during the summer
season.

Nutritionally, one cup of diced honeydew melon (170g) contains the following
nutrients (35);

* Calories: 61.2 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 15.5 g
* Fiber: 1.4 g
* Sugar: 13.8 g
* Fat: 0.2 g
* Protein: 0.9 g
* Vitamin C: 51% RDA
* Potassium: 11% RDA
* Folate: 8% RDA
* Vitamin B6: 7% RDA

However, it is worth noting that many varieties of melon exist, all with
slightly different characteristics.

34. MULBERRY

Mulberries come in all shapes and sizes, and they are a popular berry that grow
around the world.

There are many different kinds of mulberry, but there are three main varieties;
black, red, and white.

Black and red mulberries are native to the United States, while the white
varieties mainly grow in China.

Mulberries are popular in fresh and dried form; black and red mulberries are
sweet and juicy with a slightly tart flavor.

However, since white mulberries are predominantly from China, we usually buy
them in their dried state.

These berries are much smaller than the red and black varieties, and they have a
much sweeter taste too.

Per cup of raw mulberries, the nutritional profile looks like this (36);

* Calories: 60.2 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 13.7 g
* Fiber: 2.4 g
* Sugar: 11.3 g
* Fat: 0.5 g
* Protein: 2.0 g

35. NECTARINES

Nectarines are a popular fruit that is very closely related to peach.

The fruit has high water content and a sweet and juicy taste, which makes it a
refreshing summer fruit.

A typical nectarine provides the following nutritional values (37):

* Calories: 63 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 15.1 g
* Fiber: 2.4 g
* Sugar: 11.2 g
* Fat: 0.45 g
* Protein: 1.5 g

See this complete nutritional guide to nectarines for further information.

36. OLIVES

Most people don’t realize that olives are actually a fruit.

This is likely because olives don’t have that typical sweet flavor most fruits
do, and they instead offer a source of healthy fats.

Personally, olives are one of my favorite foods – there are so many varieties
and they all taste a little different. Despite the belief that there are only
“green” and “black” olives, there are literally thousands of olive species.

It’s a common belief that they originated in Italy millions of years ago, and
since that time olives spread around the Mediterranean region. In current times,
olives grow throughout the world.

People mainly use olives for culinary purposes, as a snack, or to make olive
oil. Depending on the type of olive, they can taste anything from bitter and
salty to slightly sweet.

Olives are one of the most polyphenol-rich foods, and they are widely known for
their health benefits.

Per 100g, olives provide (38);

* Calories: 81 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 5.6 g
* Fiber: 2.5 g

37. ORANGE

Oranges are among the most common fruit in the world.

The orange is a citrus fruit and, surprisingly, it is a hybrid rather than an
original species. If you didn’t know about this point, then oranges are actually
a hybrid of the pomelo and mandarin.

Oranges have a tough outer peel that encases the soft, juicy center. Generally
speaking, the fruit has a sweet and (very slight) sour taste. However, there are
hundreds of orange varieties and they can vary between sweet, bitter, and sour.

The sweet varieties are generally the edible kind we find in shops and in orange
juice.

Oranges are a relatively high-carbohydrate fruit and they provide a decent
amount of vitamin C.

One large orange supplies (39);

* Calories: 86.5 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 78.8 g
* Fiber: 4.4 g
* Sugar: 17.2 g

38. PAPAYA

A tropical fruit with an exotic name; the papaya.

Papayas originate in Central America and grow in most countries with a tropical
climate.

Despite previously being thought of as “exotic” they are now easy to find in
most countries due to the global fruit trade.

The fruit has a smooth outer skin and a soft, reddish-orange flesh inside.

Papayas also have a striking appearance, and look like a cross between a giant
pear and butternut squash. In terms of flavor, they are not dissimilar to
mangoes but they are less sweet in nature.

Similar to most brightly colored fruits, they contain a wealth of polyphenols,
and they provide the following nutrients per cup (140g) (40);

* Calories: 54.6 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 13.7 g
* Fiber: 2.5 g
* Sugar: 8.3 g
* Fat: 0.2 g

papaya.

39. PASSION FRUIT

Passion fruit is another tropical fruit (technically a berry) that is native to
the South American region, believed to originate in Brazil, Paraguay, and
Argentina.

Cultivation of the fruit now happens throughout the tropical and subtropical
regions of the world.

Passion fruit is one of the more unique fruits, and it is about the size of a
golf ball. A hard, brown outer shell surrounds a yellow, gelatinous sticky, and
sweet flesh.

This sweet pulp is comparable to tomatoes; it is very juicy and contains lots of
edible seeds.

However, there are many different varieties of passion fruit, and some (such as
the ‘golden passion fruit’) are the size of a large grapefruit.

Despite passion fruit being one of the higher-carb fruits, about 50% of these
carbs come from fiber.

Per 5-fruit serving, passion fruit contributes the following nutrients (41);

* Calories: 88 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 21 g
* Fiber: 9.5 g
* Sugar: 2.0 g
* Fat: 0.1 g

* Potassium: 10% RDA
* Iron: 10% RDA
* Phosphorus: 5% RDA

40. PEAR

Pears are a delicious, sweet, and juicy fruit.

They grow naturally all around the world, but their origin, like many other
fruits, lies in China.

There are so many different types of pear in the world, ranging from the classic
“pear-shaped” European species to the large, round Chinese/Korean pear.

However, all pears share the same thin, crisp skin, and sweet, juicy white
flesh.

Pears have the sweetness of an apple mixed with a kind of mild, citrus-like
flavor and smell.

The flesh is crunchy as you bite into it, with a large amount of water locked
inside.

In fact, pears are around 84% water content by weight, giving them one of the
highest water content out of all fruits (42).

The nutritional content of pears offers a decent range of vitamins and minerals,
but it is not particularly high in any specific nutrient.

Here is the profile of a medium-sized pear (43);

* Calories: 103 kcal

41. PERSIMMON

Persimmons are a commonly available fruit and the typical cultivars are native
to East Asia; particularly China, Japan, and Korea.

The persimmon fruit is a brilliant bright orange color, and it comes in two
distinct varieties.

First, the fuyu persimmon looks like a wide-shaped tomato and it has a crisp,
slightly sweet and crunchy flesh.

Secondly, the Hachiya persimmon has a rounder and taller shape. This particular
persimmon has a firm, solid feel while it is fresh and tastes incredibly bitter.
As a result, they shouldn’t be eaten until they are fully ripe.

When ripe, the fruit becomes extremely soft, and squeezing the fruit should feel
like there are large amounts of water inside. Typically, this kind of persimmon
is eaten with a spoon since it’s so soft.

Like most orange plant foods, persimmons are a good provider of vitamin A in the
form of beta-carotene (44). Per fruit;

Pineapples are a sweet and slightly sour tropical fruit originating from South
America.

It is now very common in tropical regions of the world such as the Philippines
and the Caribbean.

Pineapples have a firm yellow flesh that supplies a juicy, sweet taste.

Similar to other tropical fruits, pineapples have many culinary uses. For
instance, they’re a popular choice in juices, smoothies, desserts, and even
pizzas.

Pineapples are very rich in vitamin C and the mineral manganese. Per cup (165g)
serving, pineapples provide (45);

Plums are small and round purple fruit that have origins in China.

Appearance wise, a dark purple skin surrounds the juicy flesh, which can range
from yellow-orange to reddish-purple in color.

Plums can either be eaten fresh or in their dried state, which is called a
‘prune’.

The taste of plums differs depending on the variety and degree of ripeness.
While ripe plums tend to be sweet, an unripe plum can taste incredibly tart.

Plums are one of the most polyphenol-rich fruits, and randomized controlled
trials suggest they can help protect against bone loss (46.

The nutritional profile of one plum is below (47);

Pomegranates are unique in appearance and taste.

They are believed to have originated in the India to Middle-East region, and
they’ve long been cultivated in the Middle East and Mediterranean region.

Nowadays, pomegranate cultivation is prevalent throughout dry and hot regions in
the world.

This interesting variety of fruit has a thick and firm red skin.

Inside the pomegranate, we can find hundreds of red edible seeds (known as
arils) separated into different chambers by a white stringy material called
albedo.

Malaysia and Indonesia.

The rambutan is also one of the strangest looking fruits in the world.

In fact, it looks like it comes from another planet! This fruit has a bright red
outer skin that is covered in red and green spiky hairs.

While the skin feels dry and leathery, the flesh inside is soft, white and
round, and contains a large seed in the middle.

Rambutan have a slightly similar taste as lychee, but they are sweeter and
slightly less juicy.

grow in temperate regions.

This variety of fruit has dozens of different cultivars so raspberries can
differ in appearance depending on the country.

Raspberries grow on raspberry bushes and the fruit itself is composed of dozens
of small drupelets.

The raspberry has a soft flesh with a slightly sweet and juicy taste.

example, you may see the names ‘mountain cranberry’, ‘red whortleberry’,
‘cowberry’, and ‘foxberry’.

The berries are common across Europe and Northern America, and they tend to have

49. RHUBARB

The origin of rhubarb is disputed, but it now grows throughout much of the
world.

The rhubarb plant grows large leaves—which are poisonous—and long, edible stems.

Technically, rhubarb is not a fruit at all and it is actually a vegetable.
However, since it is commonly thought of as a fruit (and used like one), this
guide features it.

Rhubarb has a strong sour taste; it is extremely tart, and it features in many
sweetened desserts.

Notably, rhubarb has a long history of medicinal use. Specifically, it is a
strong laxative and may help treat constipation. However, it may also cause
stomach distress in some susceptible people (54).

Nutritionally, one cup (122g) of rhubarb supplies (55);

* Calories: 25.6 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 5.5 g
* Fiber: 2.2 g
* Sugar: 1.3 g
* Fat: 0.2 g

50. STARFRUIT

Starfruit is one of the most visually appealing fruits. When you slice the
fruit, each slice looks like a bright yellow star.

It is a tropical fruit that is native to South and South-East Asia, and it has a
sweet and tart taste.

The flesh is firm, and its color ranges from green to a deep, bright yellow when
fully ripe.

Starfruit is more than 90% water by weight, making it one of the best fruits for
hydration.

Although the fruit is healthy and contains a good nutrient profile, it can be
dangerous to those with kidney problems. It should not be eaten by anyone with
chronic kidney disease (56).

The overall nutritional profile of one starfruit is as follows (57);

* Calories: 28.2 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 6.2 g
* Fiber: 2.5 g
* Sugar: 3.6 g

* Protein: 0.9 g
* Vitamin C: 52% RDA
* Copper: 6% RDA

* Potassium: 3% RDA

51. STRAWBERRY

The strawberry is one of the most common (and beloved) fruits in the world.

Strawberries are thought to be berries, but this is not botanically true, and
they are an accessory fruit.

Commonly eaten fresh, with cream, or in a range of desserts, strawberries are a
soft and sweet-tasting fruit.

In addition to their taste, strawberries actually smell sweet too – if that is
possible.

Given this, strawberry flavors and scents are prevalent in candy, soaps, creams,
lip balms and many other products.

Strawberries have an excellent nutrition profile and contain large amounts of
vitamin C. One cup (152g) of the fruit provides (58);

* Calories: 48.6 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 11.7 g
* Fiber: 3 g
* Sugar: 7.4 g
* Fat: 0.5 g
* Protein: 01.0 g
* Vitamin C: 149% RDA
* Manganese: 29% RDA
* Folate: 9% RDA
* Potassium: 7% RDA
* Magnesium: 5% RDA

While strawberries are usually red, the white strawberry cultivar called
pineberry is a notable exception.

See this guide to pineberries for more information:

52. TANGERINE

While sharing a similar taste, tangerines are a smaller size than oranges, and
they are less round (flatter) in shape.

However, they have a bigger taste – tangerines are sweeter and more flavorful
than regular oranges.

The tangerine also has a softer skin which is easier to peel, and this makes
them an easy snack for when you’re out of the house.

Tangerines are high in vitamin C and contain small amounts of most other
micronutrients.

One medium-sized tangerine offers (59);

* Calories: 46.6 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 11.7 g
* Fiber: 2.8 g
* Sugar: 21.8 g
* Fat: 0.3 g
* Protein: 0.7 g
* Vitamin C: 39% RDA
* Vitamin A: 12% RDA
* Potassium: 4% RDA
* Folate: 4% RDA
* Calcium: 3% RDA

53. UGLI FRUIT

Ugli fruit is a unique hybrid fruit originating in Jamaica where it was
discovered in 1924.

Interestingly, the fruit is a cross between an orange, grapefruit, and
tangerine.

Despite the name, the ugli fruit isn’t the worst-looking fruit in the world; it
just looks a little dull.

However, inside the tough and thick greenish-yellow skin, there is a bright
orange flesh.

Ugli fruits are very juicy and sweet and taste somewhat like a slightly more
sour orange.

Nutritionally, one ugli fruit provides (60);

* Calories: 90 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 22 g
* Fiber: 4 g
* Sugar: 16 g
* Fat: 0 g
* Protein: 2 g
* Vitamin C: 140% RDA
* Calcium: 4% RDA

54. WATERMELON

The origin of watermelons is Southern Africa, and it is a large fruit that grows
in tropical and subtropical regions.

As you might guess from the name, watermelons are another fruit with a high
water content; 91.5% to be exact.

The fruit can wildly vary in size, with some fruit being a few kilograms in
weight, but others reaching gigantic proportions.

Apparently, the largest watermelon on record was from Tennessee and weighed in
at 159kg (351 pounds).

Watermelons taste sweet and juicy, and provide the following nutrients per cup
(154g) (61);

* Calories: 46.2 kcal
* Carbohydrate: 11.6 g
* Fiber: 0.6 g
* Sugar: 9.5 g
* Fat: 0.2 g
* Protein: 0.9 g
* Vitamin C: 21% RDA
* Vitamin A: 18% RDA
* Potassium: 5% RDA
* Magnesium: 4% RDA
* Vitamin B5: 3% RDA

30 THOUGHTS ON “54 TYPES OF FRUIT: NUTRITION PROFILES AND HEALTH BENEFITS”

1. Lyssa
September 14, 2018 at 8:18 pm

Blackcurrants were once popular in the United States as well, but became
less common in the 20th century after currant farming was banned in the
early 1900s, when blackcurrants, as a vector of white pine blister rust,
were considered a threat to the U.S. logging industry.[25] The federal ban
on growing currants was shifted to jurisdiction of individual states in
1966, and was lifted in New York State in 2003 through the efforts of
horticulturist Greg Quinn. As a result, currant growing is making a
comeback in New York, Vermont, Connecticut and Oregon.[26][27] However,
several statewide bans still exist including Maine,[28] New Hampshire,[29]
Virginia,[21] Ohio,[30] and Massachusetts.[31]

Just wanted to update you on Black Currants.

Hi Lyssa,

Thanks for this information. I knew that the blackcurrant ban had been
lifted, but I didn’t realize the state bans still existed in those five
states – interesting! I wonder why.

I agree! There are a lot of food/nutrient composition resources for
professionals (e.g this list:
https://www.nal.usda.gov/sites/default/files/fnic_uploads/foodcomp.pdf),
but most of this information is very overwhelming for the casual reader.
So, something that is really simply presented like that would be handy
indeed.

I was wondering how to make some kind of simple database for this, but my
technical skills are a bit lacking unfortunately…
