Hello, readers! Srima here, and I’m excited to announce that over the next month, I’ll be sharing regular posts featuring an alphabetical list of fruit names. Today, we’re starting with 49 fruits that begin with the letter A. From the familiar apples and apricots to more exotic offerings like abiu and avocado, I’ve tried to include the most popular ones. Each fruit name is accompanied by an image, though a few might be missing.
