Green vegetables are amazing for our health and digestion, but the secret is — so are green fruits. Green fruits are in abundance, and you can find a lot of them at your local grocery stores. Green apples, grapes, avocados, and more. There are even green fruits that people think are vegetables! Green fruits have a whole other world that is just waiting to be explored. Intrigued? Then let’s go on our green fruit adventure together.

How Do Green Fruits Get Their Color?

Green fruits and vegetables are unique and special due to the chlorophyll that is found in their cells. This natural coloring agent is something that all green fruits and vegetables carry in them. 

Chlorophyll is a potent antioxidant that can help aid your body in ridding itself of free radicals. Chlorophyll can help to protect your organs from oxidative stress. In addition, it can aid in weight loss and help with indigestion and constipation, and helps to improve bone and muscle health. In other words, keep green fruits and vegetables a part of your diet!

The List: 112 Fruits That Are Green

Traditional Fruits

1. Abashi Bitter Melon

If there was ever a melon to look like an alien egg — this would be it. This Okinawan heirloom melon has a deep green and bumpy outer skin that is high in vitamin C. Bitter melon is delicious to eat every day but is scrumptious with stuffed rice and tofu. 

2. Ali Baba Watermelon 

A pastel green watermelon that is a sight to behold. The Ali Baba watermelon is full of luscious flavor, stunning colors and is deliciously tasty! Melon lovers have raved about the Ali Baba watermelon being the sweetest watermelon they have tasted — so I guess you will have to find out if that is true for yourself and try an Ali Baba watermelon this summer 

3. Arctic Beauty Kiwi

The leaves of this kiwi plant are as sweet as the kiwi they are helping to grow. This heart-shaped foliage has a bright green hue with splashes of pink and white in them to guard the miniature kiwi hiding in its leaves. These mini ovals aren’t like your normal kiwi and don’t have the typical brown skin, so you will have to look harder to find these little green fruits. 

4. Art Combe’s Ancient Watermelon

At first look, you wouldn’t imagine this fruit to be a watermelon since they look more like they would be a squash. But slice that big green fruit up and let it reveal the stunning pink flesh on the inside. This ancient watermelon is absurdly sweet and is said to be hundreds, if not thousands, of years old. This means this is one fruit you simply must experience yourself. 

If you try this watermelon or have another watermelon on hand, try these tasty Easy Watermelon Popsicles.

5. Bacon Avocado

Oval-shaped avocado has a green leathery skin with a pale yellow inside. Bacon avocados are slightly less oily than Hass avocados. Instead, they have a smooth, buttery texture to them — perfect for your next guacamole or avocado toast. Bacon avocados are a good source of vitamins C, E, K, and B6, as well as a wonderful source of potassium. 

6. Bartlett Pear

Chances are you have seen plenty of Bartlett pears at your grocery store, so next time you see these yellow-green fruits, make sure and pick up a couple. This sweet, tender, and juicy fruit is wonderfully aromatic and has a very distinct pear flavoring.

Bartlett pears are a delightful source of fiber, have 6% of your daily dose of vitamin K, and are a wonderful source of copper. This is definitely one fruit you want to add to your grocery list.  

7. Bateekh Samara Melon

While you’re trying to pronounce the name of this melon accurately, let me tell you that the name translates to “old melon from Samarra”. This generations-old melon that originated in Iraq is a deliciously tart melon with lime green sweet flesh. Inside this veined green skin are a spectacularly unique fruit with a distinct taste and something you have to try at least once. 

8. Bearss Lime (Persian Lime)

Persian limes are the perfect balance of a key lime and a lemon. Persians use these lemons to add a sour, sharp taste to soups or whatever they are cooking to balance out the sweetness. However, you can use these limes in any recipe that calls for it.

Persian limes are high in vitamin C, which helps to promote overall body health and boosts your immune system. Persian limes are also a good source of antioxidants which can help lower the risk of cancer. 

9. Beni Kodama Watermelon

Beni Kodama watermelons are miniature watermelons so adorable that you may not want to cut into them. These Japanese hand-held watermelons look like the average watermelon that you would usually get at the store but in a smaller size. Don’t worry. Just because it’s small doesn’t mean it isn’t packed with flavor!

If you want to try out this tasty melon, you could grow them yourself! Here is a helpful guide on How To Grow A watermelon.

10. Black Sapote

Black sapote is a species of Persimmon that almost looks as if it could be chocolate. These lime green outer shells, when cut open, reveal a dark gooey center on the inside. When you take a bite of black sapote, it’s like taking a bite of caramel or chocolate with a slight hint of persimmon.

This scoopable fruit is an extremely rich source of vitamin C as it carries more than six times the daily requirement — move over oranges; black sapote is taking over!

11. Bread Fruit

Don’t let the name fool you. Breadfruit looks nothing like a loaf of bread. This fruit is resembling of jackfruit and is found on the islands of New Guinea and the Philippines. Breadfruit is a very starchy fruit that is somewhat similar to a potato with a little bit more sugar in it.

While the taste resembles that of potato, it is jam-packed with fiber — just 100 grams of breadfruit provides 25% of your daily value of fiber. It’s also a great source of magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, and niacin.

12. Bruno Kiwi

Bruno Kiwis are a little bit more like a typical kiwi that you would find in your local grocery store with its hairy brown outer skin and neon green center. Bruno kiwis contain high levels of vitamin C and are packed with antioxidants. These kiwis are fabulous for increasing the number of helpful gut bacteria and can help to lower inflammation. If you’ve never tried kiwi before, start with a Bruno Kiwi and let the flavor speak for itself.

13. Cam Sành Orange

Toto, this orange doesn’t look like an orange! The Cam Sành Orange is quite the trickster as this orange has a dark green outer skin and, when cut, reveals the age-old orange color on the inside. This Vietnamese sweet green orange is more of a citrus hybrid but has a delightful flavor on the inside. Cam Sành oranges are a good source of fiber and vitamin C and are also a fun way to trick your friends — they may think they’ve gone color blind.

14. Caribbean Guava

If you have never had guava, then you are missing out! With its green outer flesh and flamingo pink inside — this exotic fruit has a unique flavor that is a cross between a strawberry and a pear. You can eat the skin of the guava or just eat the insides, but there is no mistaking how good guava is for your health. Guava contains high levels of potassium and fiber, which are linked to helping improve your heart’s health and lowering your blood pressure.

This super sweet and delightfully fragrant melon is perfect to add to any summer dish. Charentais melons are a great source of vitamins A, B6, C, and potassium. 

16. Concorde Pear

Concorde pears have the most delicious flavor that may remind you of vanilla, all while still very much tasting like a pear. This Britain-grown pear is delightful to use in baking, eating raw, or even grilling. There are lots of pears to choose from, so it’s all about finding the kind of pear you love the best.   

17. Crispin (Mutsu)

The Mutsu apple was introduced around 1949 in Japan. This sharp and aromatic apple resembles a golden delicious while having its own unique flavor on its own. Crispin apples are wonderful to use in pies, ciders or use it to brighten up a salad.

18. Custard Apple

The custard apple looks nothing like you would imagine. Custard apples are closer to being a sweet-sop (a fruit with a bright green, bumpy outer layer) and get their name by tasting somewhat like a creamy custard. This buttery soft fruit is quite an odd tropical fruit by appearance but more than makes up for it in sweet flavor.

I love making homemade instant applesauce using fresh apples. If you haven’t tried this, I highly recommend it! Try using this Instant Applesauce Recipe.

19. Desert King Watermelon

This eye-catching watermelon is a sight to behold with its vibrant outer green rind and its bright yellow flesh on the inside. The Desert King watermelon got its name because it is one of the most drought-resistant watermelons known and is also resistant to sunburning.

20. Early Girl (Otome) Watermelon

If you like miniature watermelons, then this is the melon for you. This Japanese-grown watermelon resembles a larger watermelon simply in a smaller size. This light green melon is super sweet and a great way not to waste any food if you have a smaller family to feed.  

21. Durian

If you are on social media, then you have more than likely seen some kind of video that involves durian. This custard-flavored fruit has the texture of a really creamy cheesecake but without insane calories. Durian can help to regulate your blood sugar, may help you to sleep better at night, may help to combat skin pigmentation and wrinkles, and is also a great energy booster. The only downside — is that it smells. While durian is a generally smelly fruit — the flavor more than makes up for it.  

22. Finger Lime

A finger lime, also known as the Australian finger lime or a caviar lime, is quite the sight to behold. Get rid of any thoughts that you have in your mind of what a typical lime would look like because this is definitely not it. While the outside of the finger line is similar to a regular lime, as soon as you cut into it and squeeze, it resembles caviar.

This odd fruit might not be what you expected, but it is an excellent source of vitamin C and collagen. I wouldn’t try and squeeze finger limes into a cocktail anytime soon, but you can use finger limes with any homemade sauce to add extra flavor and not be weirded out by the texture.

23. Fuerte Avocado

If you typically don’t like avocados because of their buttery texture and then maybe you should try the Fuerte avocado. This avocado is still soft but is much sweeter and tastes more like a fruit than a typical Hass avocado. 

24. Golden Honeymoon Melon

This bright golden orb shines bright like the sun while hiding a kiwi green flesh inside. The golden honeydew melon has a unique flavor all its own, while others in its family have a distinct honeydew flavor; this melon tastes more like an even balance of a cantaloupe AND a honeydew.

25. Gooseberries

If you’ve never had a gooseberry, then you’re missing out. Gooseberries are sweet little pearls that are bursting with juicy flavors (think grapes but more acidic). Gooseberries are highly nutritious as they are very high in fiber, low in calories, rich in antioxidants, wonderful for heart health, and easy to add to your diet. Eat the small green berry fruits raw by the handful, mixed in a cocktail, turned into a jam or chutney, or used in your next pastry project.

26. Granny Smith Apple

Granny Smith apples have been popular for a very long time and with very good reason. Granny Smith apples are extremely high in vitamin C, can fight off cancer cells, are a wonderful source of fiber and vitamins, high in potassium, and help with heart health — oh, and they’re also delicious!

These apples have long been enjoyed for their tart, and almost sour taste, and that sour taste also makes them excellent for baking. Granny Smith apples have been beloved for years in making pies since the sour-sweet flavor profile balances out any of the sugar added to the recipe. So next time you’re inspired to bake something, try something with a Granny Smith because you won’t be disappointed.

Next time you use a granny smith, think about making this Vegan Apple Crisp With Beets.

27. Green Anjou Pear

Green Anjou pears are quite popular for those that love pears. These mild-flavored pears carry with them a hint of citrus and are delightful to use in baking or to eat as is. Green Anjou pears, like others in the pear family, are a wonderful source of vitamin C and fiber. 

28. Gwen Avocado

Calling all Gwen’s! Did you know you have an avocado named after you? These delightful avocados look similar to a Hass but only slightly smaller (they are actually classified as dwarf avocados). These creamy, golden avocados are crying out to be made into avocado toast, guacamole, or added to a salad. 

29. Green Kiwi

Green kiwi is the most common Kiwi that you would see in any store. While it may be common, it doesn’t mean that it should be overlooked, as green kiwi is high in vitamin C and dietary fiber. Kiwi has also been shown to help support heart health and digestive health. The best way to eat a kiwi is to peel off the skin and slice the kiwi into bites, or you can cut the kiwi in half and use a grapefruit spoon to scoop out the delicious green insides. Kiwi is exceptionally rich in immune-supporting nutrients and is something you definitely want to be adding to your grocery cart.

30. Green Star Fruit

Green star fruit may be a specialty fruit for most stores, but you can find them in plenty of Asian markets. The reason a green star fruit gets its name is when you cut up a green star fruit, the five angles of this fruit look like a star. This fruit (commonly found in Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines) has a crunchy yet juicy taste to it, and it has the perfect balance of sweet and tart. Starfruit is an excellent addition to any fruit salad or to eat on its own. Starfruit can also help reduce the toxicity levels in your body, which can help lower the risk of cancer. Green starfruit has high anti-inflammatory capabilities due to the high level of antioxidants found in it as well. All of this to say — you want to be eating green star fruit!

31. Hara Madhu Melon

This pale teardrop-shaped melon was originally grown in Punjab, India. This melon is rich with flavor, exploding with sweetness, and has been praised for its delightful flavor profile. This exquisite melon is something that can be eaten as is, tossed in a fruit salad, or even grilled to bring out a caramelized flavor. 

32. Hardy Kiwi

A Hardy kiwi may look like a sour lime on the outside, but I promise you it’s sweet. This kiwi is popular in China, Japan, and Korea for its sweet and juicy flavor. While it still has that hairy outside similar to green kiwi fruit, the Hardy kiwi has a slightly different taste to awaken your taste buds. Eat Hardy Kiwis if you want to help avoid blood clots and improve your heart health. 

33. Hass Avocado

Hass avocados are one of the most popular avocados sold mainly because they are so easily accessible. These Southern California-grown avocados have dark black, bumpy skin which hides a bright green inner flesh.

Hass avocados have higher oil content in them, which makes them creamier than other avocados. Hass avocados are dense in dietary fiber, a wonderful source of potassium, and rich in vitamins C and E.

34. Honeydew Melon

You either love honeydew melons, or you hate them. While honeydew melons are more of an acquired taste, they are popular for a reason. That soft honey undertone on your taste buds isn’t the only thing that makes honeydew melons so fantastic. Along with their honey flavor, honeydew melons are also wonderful at helping to strengthen your bones to avoid osteoporosis.

35. Issai Kiwi

These fuzzless kiwis are absurdly sweet (the best things come in small packages), and it has eight times more vitamin C than an orange!! These little green ovals are tantalizingly sweet and extremely healthy for you. With such a high amount of vitamin C, eating Issai kiwi can help your immune system fight off any flu or cold that could come your way. 

36. Jackfruit

Jackfruit is a wonderful alternative for a lot of vegans due to its versatility. The texture of jackfruit is similar to pulled meat and can be marinated accordingly. While on its own, jackfruit tastes similar to a combination of mango, pineapple, and banana, and that sweetness is helpful for a lot of recipes. While the flavor can be debated, the health benefits can not. Jackfruit is an excellent source of fiber, a good source of vitamins C and B.

37. Jenny Lind Melon

The Jenny Lind melon looks as if a pumpkin and a cantaloupe had a baby, but it came out tasting like a cantaloupe. This heirloom cantaloupe has been a prized melon since the 1840s and was named after the famous Swedish opera singer Johnna “Jenny” Lind. A melon that is so sweet and delicious — you might start singing its praises in opera.

38. June Plum

This isn’t your normal purple plum. A June plum is green from the inside out, starting with a darker green on the outside and getting lighter as you go to the center of the fruit. A June plum has a combination of pineapple, apple, and mango notes while remaining a flavor all its own. June plums are native to the tropical regions of Polynesia, including Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and Fiji. 

39. Kaffir Lime

These bumpy limes may be weird to look at, but they have amazing health benefits. Kaffir limes promote oral health, help detoxify your bloodstream, improve your digestion by promoting healthy bacteria, help your immune system become stronger, and improve the health of your skin and hair. Who knew one little fruit could hold such superpowers?

40. Kajari Melon

The Kajari melon looks like something from another planet with its fluorescent green stripes in between a deep pumpkin orange rind. These melons look like someone took a pumpkin and painted bright green stripes on them for fun. These captivating melons are worth our attention! They taste similar to honeydew but sweeter and so much more elegant to glance at.

41. Key Lime (Mexican Lime)

Key limes are what most people buy from the grocery store. While not all limes are made equal, this one is easily accessible and prevalent for good reason. The key lime is a glorious deep green and slowly becomes more of a yellow-green the riper it becomes. These high-acidity limes are great for using in a cocktail, making a key lime pie, adding to a vinaigrette, or just adding to a normal cup of water.  

Next time you have limes on hand, try making this Homemade Limeade. It’s delicious!

42. Muscat Grapes

Muscat grapes aren’t just one kind of grape. Instead, they are actually a family of white grapes which over 200 varieties of grapes fall under.

48. Pinkerton Avocado

The Pinkerton avocado is a little longer than other avocados and has a surprising yet subtle, nutty flavor. Pinkerton avocados have been known for their stability and consistency in their growth. Similar to a Hass avocado, the Pinkerton avocado has a high oil content which makes the flavor of this avocado more balanced and smooth. Pinkerton avocados are worth searching out and tasting.

Guava is amazing to eat as is, in jelly or jam, in pastries, or even drinks.

55. Zutano Avocado

This pear-shaped avocado is one hearty fruit! These rare avocados aren’t something that you will find in your grocery store since they are specially grown.
