So, here are some differant kinds of fruits and veggies from my world.
Summer Melon~ This medium size melon has thick orangish-red skin and sweet, yellow fruit. It grows from late spring to early fall, getting it's name from both it's growing season and its resemblance to the sun.
Purple Lichenberries~ Small spherical berries that grow on a certain type of lichen, taste bitter and tend to pucker up the inner cheeks and mouth. Not a choice food for those who can avoid using them, but good in survival situations because of high vitamin content. Grows year round, but flourishes in colder weather, found mainly in forests and wooded areas.
Spiderfruit~ Spiderfruit are small green fruits with tough, but thin skin and contain tart, but flavorful flesh. They also have many seeds inside, similar to a passion fruit. They get their name from the pods that they develop in, which burst when the fruit is ripe, and shrivel into a brown spider-like shape at the top of the fruit. This usually stays in the tree when the spiderfruit is picked, if not, it is easily removed by pulling it off.
Gull Cherries~ These cherry-like fruits were originally called Coastal Cherries, since the trees grow best in sandy soil, but once seagulls began spreading seeds, they were affectionately called gull cherries, and the name stuck. They are very similar in flavor to 'normal' cherries, with the exception of tending to be a little sweeter. People living near these trees use the fruit for anything from drying them for breads and cakes, to using them in salads and juicing them for flavorful drinks.
Red Winter Pumpkin~ This variation of the pumpkin grows best in the winter, but can still be planted and harvested in colder areas of the world. It is typically referred to as Red Winter Pumpkin, which is because both the skin and meat contain more red pigment than the usual fall pumpkin. It is used in many recipes by those who are able to grow it.

Mm, no, I would imagine that the melon isn't as watery as the ones we have, perhaps the flavor is more concentrated as well.
