1. Macoun Apple

Macoun apple is a hybrid product from McIntosh and Jessy Black cultivar. This kind of apple has slightly dark skin that may look like a plum.

Macoun trees are not easy to plant, but their taste is delightful and juicy. If you want to make a sweet apple pie, choose Macoun apple as the main ingredient.

2. McIntosh Apple

McIntosh is considered one of the most famous apple types from Canada. The skin color of this apple is a perfect mixture of green and red with a bit of pink color.

Moreover, it is also a “multi-purpose” apple that can eat raw and cook many delicious dishes. People often choose McIntosh apples for their desserts. However, you should be careful when letting its flesh outside too long because it can be bruised easily.

3. Malay Apple

The Malay apple is a tropical species that is often found in Malesia and Australia. The appearance of it looks like a “rose pistil”.

When ripening, it is crispy, watery, and slightly sweet. Besides eating raw, Malay apples are used for making wine.

Create your own recipe with Malay apples. Let’s see this video:

4. Margil Apple

I fell in love when I saw the beautiful red color of Margil apple when it ripened. Although its fruit is relatively small, its strong taste makes everyone remember.

If you have a chance to try this kind of apple, you can feel its well-balanced flavor between the sourness and sweetness.

7. Maqui Berry

Maqui berry is a small berry fruit, and the interesting point of it is to harvest from nature more than being grown from the farm.

This fruit has the same taste as blackberry and is naturally sweet and refreshing. Besides that, people also use the leaves and stems of Maqui as a precious medicine to treat diarrhea, fevers, diabetes, etc.

8. Mulberry

Based on the color when it ripens, Mulberry, the general name of berry fruit, will be divided into many other kinds, such as white, red, and black mulberries.

Naturally refined and sweet, mulberries are often used to make candies, wine, etc. Furthermore, their leaves are essential food for silkworms.

I believe that you have eaten one kind of Mulberry before and feel the refined, sweet taste.

9. Mora De Castilla

Another type of berry fruit that starts with “M” is Mora De Castilla. Mora has a lovely sweet, bitter taste, so you can use it to make some great desserts or snacks, such as fruit salad or tasty smoothies, ice cream and yogurt.

Thanks to vitamin C, calcium, and phosphorus on this berry fruit, you and your family can enjoy a healthy life by frequently eating Mora.

The name “Miracle” shows the magical ability of this berry fruit. Miracle fruits are used not only for medicinal purposes but also to turn sour food to be sweeter.

I believe that its red appearance will attract you at first sight. If you have tried it, share with me your feelings about Miracle fruits.

11. Mammee Apple

Mammee apple (Mammea Americana) is a fruit type that relates to the Mangosteen. Many people like this “M” fruit because of its sweetness and softness when ripening. 

However, the juice in the seed can stick to your hand and cause uncomfortable feelings, so you should be careful while eating.

12. Mock Strawberry

The differences between Mock strawberry and a wild one are the flower’s colors and the tastes.

Instead of the white flowers of the wild strawberry, the Mock ones develop with yellow flowers. Moreover, many people suppose that the taste of it is less sweet than the wild strawberry.

13. Marionberry

Marionberry begins with the letter “M” in the name, a successful breeding program between Chehalem and Olallieberry types.

There are not many changes about the appearance of Marionberry with other common blackberries. But, its improvement is the overwhelming taste that creates an unforgettable feeling for those who have tried.

14. Melon

Did you know Melon is a kind of berry fruit? Melon’s features are the tender and watery flesh fruits. Plus, many people like Melon because their seeds are easy to remove.

Besides that, I suggest you try musk melon or honeydew instead of watermelon or canary melon which you usually eat.

Muskmelon pudding? Best solution for summer days. Let’s see this video:

Which Types Of Oranges And Lemons Suit My List?

As you can see, there are nine types of orange and lemon fruits with the letter “M” that you should not miss on my list. How do they taste?

In Chinese legend, a woman who wants to have a natural aroma will clasp Mini-Mandarins in their hands or use flowers while taking a bath. The scent of this wonderful fruit in orange color is very remarkable, right?

Mandarin’s sweet taste and scent help you refresh yourself, reduce stress, or even use it for kids as healthy snacks.

16. Marisol Clementine

Go along with Mandarin; this time, I want to bring the other sweet orange “M” fruit, Marisol Clementine.

Although it has an acid content, it is still a deep sweet kind of fruit. Marisol looks like Mini Mandarin orange, but it has a darker color peel and is smaller than Mandarin.

17. Minneola Tangelo

Are you finding an orange that balances between the sour and sweet taste? Minneola Tangelo is the best answer for you. It has the features of grapefruit and tangerine as it’s a hybrid breed between these two fruits.

Another special feature of Minneola Tangelo is the small “bell” that protrudes from the head of the fruit. If your living area does not have Mandarin, this fruit is a good replacement for your kids.

18. Marsh Pink Grapefruit

This delicious grapefruit variety can be found somewhere in Texas. It has smooth skin with light yellow and lovely pink fruit inside. The taste is pleasant, as is the appearance. Thanks to the juicy flesh, you can use this fruit to make or mix with other juicy fruits for many cool beverages, especially on summer days.

Other than its flesh, grapefruit’s peel is also usable. You can grate the fruit’s peel to create alternatives for orange zest. It can also be utilized for spicing up your tea, infusing alcohol, or whipping up delectable candies that even adults will love.

Add Marsh Pink Grapefruit to your list of fruits and vegetables that start with “M”.

Do You Know The Name Of Banana Start With “M”?

About the banana, I would like to show you Maqueno banana (Plantain) and Masak Hijau Banana that begins “M”.

23. Maqueno Banana (Hawaii Plantain)

Many people put Plantains to fry or grill with meat because its taste is savory and quite starchy. Due to this, you might notice that some cuisines, such as Cuba with their side dishes, feature Plantains a lot. Don’t confuse them with usual bananas, they shouldn’t be eaten raw.

25. Mango

Mango is not an unfamiliar name to everyone. Moreover, I have to say that Mango is my favorite fruit so that I can eat a Mango basket with happy feelings. It is great to eat them raw or even put them as an ingredient for desserts and snacks when it ripens.

One of my favorite desserts with mango is coconut mango tapioca pudding, a famous sweet from the islands of Samoa. Best served warm, this delectable dessert is my go-to treat when I crave something sweet and comforting during cold days.

For those who do not know, Mango contains an excellent amount of vitamin A and C. So, you should eat mango regularly to improve your skin and eyesights.

In addition, Mangosteen peels are pretty thick, and you can not eat them, so you have to remove the peel to eat.

27. Macadamia Fruit

It is wrongly thought that Macadamia trees just grow nuts. They also grow fruits besides nuts. Sadly, the Macadamia fruit taste is not good to eat. That is why people prefer to use its nuts because of its rich creaminess.

While macadamia fruits tend to fall into obscurity, the nuts the tree produces are ideal for various recipes. For instance, desserts in Hawaiian cuisine feature macadamia nuts a lot. To name a few, Hawaiian hula pie, coconut macadamia nut bar all use this creamy ingredient.

28. Mamoncillo

Mamoncillo (Melicoccus Bijugatus) is called “Spanish Lime” as a common name. This “M” fruit has the close relative of the lychee, so no wonder it tastes almost like the combination of lime and lychee.

Another lesser-known name of mamoncillo is Quenepa. So you can say that technically, mamoncillo can also be consider as a fruit or vegetable with “Q” as the first letter. The more you know, huh?

Furthermore, some people who have enjoyed this fruit said that they felt like they were drinking a unique wine flavor. You can eat them raw and feel the tangy, bittersweet flavor of Mamoncillo.
