It’s easy to guess where the Himalayan mulberry is located: in Himalaya. It’s a tree that grows groups of edible red fruits.
7. Hog Plum
Hog plum thrives in tropical environments. You can eat the fruit’s pulp raw or turn it into sherbet and juice.
8. Honey Locust
Honey locust may have an off-putting name, but it’s nothing like the insect. The plant grows pods from which you can eat the pulp safely. The first half of its name, honey, is derived from the sweet taste of the pulp.
9. Honeyberry
Honeyberry plants grow berries that are the color of blueberries, but long and thin. They can taste rather sour. Honeyberries are used in a lot of recipes, including jam and candy.
10. Honeycrisp Apple
The honeycrisp apple we know today was born in Minnesota in 1974. This is one of the best apples for eating raw, because it was created for the sole purpose of snacking. It has a balance of sweet and sour that is appealing to many people.
11. Honeydew Melon
The Honeydew melon goes by a number of different names around the world. In the United States, the melon we refer to as the honeydew is actually a specific type of honeydew called the White Antibes.

12. Horned Melon
You need to only look at the horned melon to see why it’s named that. The horned melon has an orange spiky skin covered in red stripes and dots. Cut it open, though, and you’ll discover it has an emerald interior.
Although some say it tastes like banana, David Letterman very famously declared the fruit as “inedible” when he tasted it on TV in 1987.
13. Hottentot Fig
You can eat both the leaves and fruit of the hottentot fig plant. It is very tart, however, so prepare for a lip-puckering experience if you try it out.
14. Huckleberry
Huckleberry is known as Idaho’s state fruit. Historically, Native Americans on the west coast used them for medicinal purposes. Nowadays, you’ll find them in candy, pie, or even pancakes.
15. Huito
In English, you may know this fruit as genip, which is why it was on our list of fruits that start with G. However, huito is the Colombian word for it, which is why it’s on this list. You can use this fruit when it’s unripe to make dye used in tattoos!
