Here are 1 fruits that start with Q, each with a one-line description so you can tell what it is. It is listed below with what each one is.

Quince is the only fruit on the Q page, so it is the answer every quiz player should keep ready. It looks a bit like a pear, smells fragrant, and tastes sharp when raw.

Most people meet quince cooked into jelly, jam or a firm paste served with cheese. Because Q is so rare in food names, quince is a reliable winner in category games and alphabet challenges. If a list needs more variety, the hub page shows the other letters, and the Q vegetable list is empty, which makes quince even more useful.
