Tasked with coming up with foods that start with the letter x you’d likely struggle. Infact, researching this post wasn’t easy yet we’ve managed to decipher 17 foods that start with x in one page.
Let’s start with a fruit that starts with X! Xigua is the West African name for their native citron melon, some cultivars of which are known and loved as watermelon all over the world.
If you’ve had red wine from central Macedonia in Greece, there’s a good chance it was made with Xinomavro grapes. They produce wine with high levels of tannins and high acidity—highly popular within Greece, but not very well-known outside it.
One more fruit: xoconostle is the fruit of a Central Mexican species of the prickly pear cactus. Very sour, and rarely eaten on its own, it can be found giving a citrusy tang to many salsas and mole sauces.
