15 of The Largest Fruits In The World

15 of the largest fruits in the world will be topped eventually. But for now, they’re modern marvels we can’t help but note.

Pumpkin

Imagine a pumpkin weighing well over a ton. You might want to start in August if you’re hoping to carve it for Halloween. Noted in 2021, it’s one of the largest fruits on record.

Watermelon

At 350 pounds, this specimen recorded in 2013 is one of the most impressive and largest fruits grown. It was probably capable of feeding an entire family for a few days.

Bananas

So yes, technically this is a bunch of items, but 287 pounds of bananas in 2001 would have made a lot of pies, loaves of bread, and other stuff. Mmm, banana bread for days.

Jackfruit

This is typically one of the largest fruits anyway, but this 94-pound specimen was impressive back in 2016.

Cantaloupe

What in the world would you do with a 67-pound cantaloupe? Well, sure, you’d eat it, but hopefully, it was carved up for a large party.

Bunch of Grapes

You’ve got to wonder whether these were used for consumption or wine-making. Hey, it takes roughly 400 grapes to make a bottle of wine, just saying.

Pineapple

In 2011 a 22-pound pineapple was grown. Hopefully, none of it found its way to a pizza.

Lemon

An 11-pound lemon would probably make a lot of lemonade, yeah? Or maybe it could be put to a better use.

Tomato

Given how many dishes use tomatoes, one could imagine that a 10-pound specimen might go over well with any given kitchen. Discovered in 2020, this beefy fruit was likely consumed not long after being recorded.

Grapefruit

A 7-pound grapefruit seems like it would feed several people at the breakfast table. That, or it’d make a lot of juice.

Pear

Seriously, a 6-pound pear? That’s a meal on its own.

Pomegranate

A 5-pound pomegranate found in 2017 doesn’t sound like a big deal. But think about this: these fruits usually don’t weigh over 9 ounces.

Avocado

5 pounds makes a lot of guacamole, or something else. Plus, just imagine the size of the pit in that thing.

Apple

Back in 2005, someone found a 4-pound apple. Would that count as a bushel, or close to it?

Peach

It feels as though a 1 pound peach might make a nice-sized pie if one knew how to make it work. But as a snack, well, that’s a lot.
