Let’s get a slick review about the different fruits. All the detailed knowledge is as following:

Mandarin Fruit

Citrus fruits including oranges, limes, lemons, and grapefruit belong to the same family as mandarin oranges, commonly referred to as mandarin fruits or mandarines.  In comparison to normal oranges, mandarin oranges are sweeter, smaller, and easier to peel. 

Mirabelle

Mirabelles are a very fragrant little plum. They are about the size of a marble, yet they taste like plum, honey, and have a unique scent.

Salsify

The oyster plant, or salsify is a type of vegetable. These enormous pencils are dandelion family’s member, a Mediterranean plant having delicate flavour that’s just a little bit sweet and, a little bit oyster-like.

Small Oranges

Mandarin oranges are known as small oranges. Mandarin oranges, commonly referred to as Mandarine or the mandarin, are oblate-shaped and smaller than other oranges.

Wild Apple

Wild apples called Malus sieversii are indigenous to southern Kazakhstan’s Central Asian mountains. Wild apples are far more nutrient-dense than those from cultivars.

Red Fruits

Strawberries, Red apples, Red Cherries, Tomatoes, Pomegranate, Red chilli peppers, Watermelon, Red Peppers, Red Potato, Radish, Sweet Potato, Red Chilli, Red Dragon Fruit, Fig, Plum, Raspberries etc., are the different red fruits.

Dogwood Berries

The length of dogwood berries, or drupes as botanists call them, varies from a quarter inch to little over a half inch. Between September and October, they achieve full maturity in the Peach State. The oblong, scarlet-red, and waxy berries grow in clusters of three to six and have a waxy appearance.

Avocado 

The avocado tree, Persea americana, also referred to as the alligator pear, is a member of the Lauraceae family. Riboflavin, thiamin, and vitamin A are all nutrients found in avocados, and certain kinds of the fruit have up to 25% unsaturated fat in the flesh.

Sumo Citrus

Sumo Citrus, which hails from Japan and is known for its sweetness, size, and “top knot,” is not an orange. Rather, it is a gigantic mandarin.

Dekopon

For mandarins, dekopons are enormous; they can weigh up to a pound each. Additionally, they feature thick, rough skin, as well as a distinctive big hump on one end. Despite this, they have very thin membranes covering the solid, seedless flesh, making them easy to peel like other mandarins. Since all dekopons are required to have citric acid levels below 1.0 percent, the flavour is very orange-like but sweeter. It has been compared to eating candy since it is so sweet. In fact, a lot of people contend that the Dekopon is the best citrus variety now on the market.

Sudachi

The flavour of Sudachi limes is sharp, acidic, and sour with herbal overtones and hints of dill, cumin, and white pepper. They are aromatic, juicy, and flavorful.    

Ugly Fruit

A hybrid of an orange and a grapefruit, Ugli Fruit is also known as Jamaican Tangelo or Uniq Fruit. It is becoming more and more well-liked for its uniqueness, sweet, and lemony flavour. It is also popular since it is simple to peel.
