Here are a few tropical fruits that begin with the letter U:
- Uva (Grape): While commonly associated with temperate climates, certain varieties of grapes (known as uva in Spanish and Italian) are cultivated in tropical regions as well. In some regions, the term “uva” is used to refer to grapes specifically.
- Ugli Fruit: A hybrid citrus fruit, the ugli fruit is a cross between a grapefruit, an orange, and a tangerine. It has a rough, wrinkled greenish-yellow skin and a sweet, tangy flavor.
- Umbu: This fruit is native to Brazil and is known for its sweet and sour flavor. The umbu fruit grows on the umbu tree, and its pulp is often used in juices, jams, and sweets.
- Uva Ursi (also known as Bearberry): While not typically consumed as a fruit in many tropical areas, the bearberry is a small, red, edible berry that can be found in some temperate and tropical regions, although it is more commonly found in cooler climates.
These fruits are either native to tropical regions or are cultivated there, with some more commonly found in specific countries or areas.
