LOL but what really is the name of that fruit that everyone calls "Fruit" ? Its red when ripe,you eat the fleshy outside,crack open the nut and out pops a sweet hidden goody. . .hmmn childhood


Those are foreign fruits, so we just call them by their English names. For example, apple is not a local fruit and many More

Lol na so? cheesy
The same way you feel is the way I feel when looking at some of the names others wrote.

Anyway, here are some more:

cocoyam - nkasi
wateryam - mbala
cassava - akpu/igburu
garden egg - angara
kola nut - oji
corn - akpakpa
pineapple - akwu oru

Nice job but,

Garden egg is spelt "añara" in Igbo

Pineapple some do call it nkwu MBE.

Corn is ókà

Then if you talk of nkasi, it's the one used for achicha, which is also called ede. Cocoyam in particular, I can't remember its name. Same with another one called úgwúntà. Though you can call them all "ede"

Thanks dear, many mistake plantain for banana, thereby calling it unene(unere)

Plantain is ji ókó
Potato is ji mmanu


If normal yam I'd called ji
Water yam =>. Àbàlà/mbànà
What is that yellowish yam called? The one that's somehow bitter.
