I will be judging the fruits as fruits eaten raw except when I don’t. Fruits will not be judged on consistent criteria. The scores are both final and subject to change. These are my opinions and they are fact. Let the games begin.

Apple

Crunchy, sweet, tart. Plenty of varieties. I ate an entire apple with seeds in highschool english class and a girl called me a horse.

7.5/10

Apricot

What a beautiful fruit. Soft, sweet. One easily removed seed. If only it was more widely available. I was raised on apricot jam and bread.

9/10

Avocado

Delicious. Not a fruit.

0/10

Banana

Staple fruit. Has some unfortunate ties to oppression. Soft, too soft. Love banana bread. I drank too many smoothies when my wisdom teeth were removed.

6.8/10

Blackberry

Yay a foraging fruit. Truly best when its crumbling and you can’t wash it lest the water tear it apart. Go to a farm and pick peaches too.

8.5/10

Blackcurrant

I’ve tried these dried and they were alright.

6.5/10

Update June 2026: I tried them in Croatia fresh and they were still just alright.

Blueberry

Honestly overrated fruit. Great frozen. Needs to be less popular.

7/10

Cactus pear

Pokey fruit. Filled with seeds. Still manages to have enough pulp to taste good and better than most fruits. Also sold by turkish street vendors.

7.7/10

Canistel (Egg Fruit)

Also called a vietnamese avocado. Hardly a fruit. Soft boiled egg yolk like texture. Sweet like a squash. Was difficult to eat the whole thing.

4/10

Cantaloupe

My dad and sister like this so I like it as well. Great with cheese.

6.7/10

Cherimoya (Custard Apple)

I don’t know if this is what I ate.

6.5/10

Cherry

I love to make cherry jam with my mom at home. Apparently you shouldn’t eat the whole bag? I thought the seeds would kill you because they had cyanide.

8.7/10

Coconut

This is not a fruit. Excellent topping.

0/10

Crab apple

Small apple? Not bad. Just eat an apple tbh.

7/10

Cranberry

Mostly air. Pops. Great juice. My family eats it with salt.

7.7/10

Date (fresh)

Dates are crunchy, sweet, and sometimes bitter but not that type of bitter. Give me a jug of saudi coffee and a couple pounds of dates and I will be set.

10/10

Date (dried)

So good it needs two entries. Oh so many many varieties.

10/10

Dragonfruit

Apparently the yellow ones taste better. The purple ones don’t taste like much at all.

6/10

Durian

Honestly better than expected. Still tasted like onions though. Do NOT bring on the train.

6/10

Fig

My dearest friend. Sweet like honey. Many varieties. All wonderful (honestly except mission figs from california). I have gotten food poisoning from them before but its not the fruit’s fault.

10/10

Goji berry

The turkish delight I was eating was covered in dried goji berries. Very good.

8/10

Gooseberry

Awful berry tastes like a tomato.

3/10

Ground Cherry

I was given one for my birthday. Almost cherry tomato but different. Very nice.

8/10

Grape

My love for grapes is unending. Specifically green ones. A kings fruit. I have eaten three pounds in one sitting but I blame ADHD.

10/10

Grapefruit

Why the white part bitter and the inside not that much better???

5/10 with pith 7.8/10 without pith

Guava

I’m a sucker for anything floral flavored. If only I could tell when they were ripe. Soft inside yum yum.

8.6/10

Hawthorn Berries

Hawthorn candy. Tanghulu.

7.9/10

Honeydew

Way better than a cantaloupe but don’t tell my sister that. Honey literally in the name.

9/10

Horned Melon

Mild cross between a cucumber and an orange.

5/10

Jackfruit

Tasted like bubble gum. Good for vegans?

6/10

Juneberry

Most berry looking berry to ever berry. Juice tastes like a refreshing summer drink. Nice and sweet and clean. Forage these

9/10

Jujube

Not sweet. Crunchy. Very fibrous. Barely a fruit but still counts in my book. Red ones often mistaken for dates.

7.3/10

Kiwifruit

Can’t believe we’re eating birds. Fuzzy little guys. I want to try the golden ones.

8.4/10

Kumquat

Interesting ovals.

7/10

Lemon

Great seasoning. Not a fruit.

0/10

Lime

Green seasoning. Still not a fruit.

0/10

Longan

Tastes like a lychee but sweeter and more expensive.

8/10

Loquat

Wishes it was an apricot.

I did not try this.

Lulo

Kinda like a tomato passionfruit. Good juice.

(I have only had lulo in the US which is not where I should be having it. This is the only review that should not be taken as fact.)

7.4/10

Lychee

Skip the longan, longat, rambutan. This is what you want. Great in bubble tea. Tastes like fish when going bad.

8.7/10

Mango

Holistically probably top 3 fruits ever. So much fruit to this fruit. Have eaten three burrito sized egyptian mangos in one sitting.

10/10

Mangosteen

So much shell to crack through to get to the garlic shaped fruit bit. Tastes like peach and lychee. Very soft. Delicious. Looks like a cartoon bomb.

9.6/10

Miracle fruit

These really do make everything you eat after taste sweet for some time. Really really weird. Novelty fruit.

6/10

Mulberry

Best berry no questions asked. From Syria to New York to Turkey. We are all climbing trees and eating mulberries.

10/10

Orange

I’m not breaking down orange into clementine and other types. They’re all good ok. I love oranges and my family would consume pounds of them in the evening.

9/10

Papaya

I don’t dislike many fruits. This one though. It just doesn’t have a lot going for it. Not great.

3/10

Passionfruit

Very sour. Very intense. Very passionate. Ok for eating, great for flavoring other things.

9/10

Sweet Passionfruit

It tastes like Hubba Bubba®…

7.6/10

Pawpaw

A mango from the south with seeds.

8/10

Peach

Super flavorful. White is floral and sweet. Yellow is bright and tangy. Eating a ripe peach right off a tree is one of my most life changing moments.

10/10

Pear

It’s good when crunchy. Usually its not though. Just not a fan sorry gang.

6/10

Asian Pear

Like a pear but WAY better. Crunchy. Juicy. This is the successful cousin a normal pear gets compared to.

9/10

Pepino

Mild cross between a cucumber and honeydew melon.

5/10

Persimmon

I once was stopped by TSA for having 10 pounds of persimmon in my carryon. They were a gift to my mother.

9/10

Pineapple

I had grilled pineapple in San Francisco during summer 2021. Yes it was covid season. Yes the pineapple was delicious.

8/10

Plantain

Not a fruit. Incredible fried. Put some in my burrito.

0/10

Plum

Honestly every time I eat one I am let down and I wish they were better than they are.

6/10

Update 2026: Idk what I was on plums are great

8.6/10

Ganourek

Green plums however

10/10

Plumcot

I’ve probably had this and it probably tasted like a plum with slightly apricot texture.

6/10

Pomegranate

Annoying. Delicious. Great juice. Another family activity fruit.

9/10

Pomelo

Kinda like a slightly better grapefruit but not as flavorful. Or I didn’t try a good one? Sorry Laith.

7.2/10

Quince

Dry apple. We cook it into a stew but honestly I like it better raw. Objectively not great but I love it.

7/10

Raspberry

It’s a miracle a fruit so fragile and easy to rot and not sweet even gets harvested.

8/10

Rambutan

Like lychee but hairy and worse texture. Just eat lychee.

7.7/10

Rose apple

Love love love this weird fruit. Had it in malaysia. Like a floral asian pear thats almost all fruit.

9/10

Salak

Tried it in malaysia. Worst fruit.

0/10

Soursop

Had it in a drink in singapore. It was sour. And I guess it was sop???

8/10

Star fruit

Tastes good. Looks cool. Hard to go wrong here.

8.5/10

Strawberry

Go take your siblings or your friends strawberry picking. Go eat a fully red strawberry. Enjoy the weather. Enjoy each others company.

10/10

Sugar apple

I think I ate this one not the custard apple.

7/10

Sugar Cane

Definitely not a fruit. But it’s a juicy sweet plant so it’s a fruit. Literally straight sugar. I can buy them in chunks in chinatown and I was hooked for a little bit ngl.

10/10

Tamarillo

Weird tomato like fruit.

5/10

Tamarind

I don’t like the drink.

4/10

3a’abeyeh (عقابية)

It’s a fruit to me. Literally just a young almond. Dipped in salt very good.

8.8/10

Watermelon

Free Palestine.
