Fruit & Vegetable Emoji

There are twenty fruit emoji: 🍇 grapes, 🍈 melon, 🍉 watermelon, 🍊 tangerine, 🍋 lemon, 🍋‍🟩 lime, 🍌 banana, 🍍 pineapple, 🥭 mango, 🍎 red apple, 🍏 green apple, 🍐 pear, 🍑 peach, 🍒 cherries, 🍓 strawberry, 🫐 blueberries, 🥝 kiwi, 🍅 tomato, 🫒 olive and 🥥 coconut.

Unicode files 🍅 tomato and 🫒 olive with the fruit, as a botanist would, while 🥑 avocado sits with the vegetables. 🍊 is officially a tangerine, though most people call it the orange emoji, and 🍋‍🟩 lime is not a separate character: it is 🍋 joined to a green square, so older phones show 🍋🟩.

Vegetable emoji copy and paste

The vegetable set is 🥑 avocado, 🍆 eggplant, 🥔 potato, 🥕 carrot, 🌽 corn, 🌶️ hot pepper, 🫑 bell pepper, 🥒 cucumber, 🥬 leafy green, 🥦 broccoli, 🧄 garlic, 🧅 onion, 🫚 ginger, 🫛 pea pod, 🫘 beans, 🥜 peanuts, 🌰 chestnut, 🍄‍🟫 brown mushroom and 🫜 root vegetable. 🍠 roasted sweet potato and 🥗 salad come from the food sections but belong on any veggie list.

🥬 is deliberately vague: it stands for lettuce, cabbage, kale or bok choy. 🫜 root vegetable (2024) covers radishes, turnips and similar roots.

Fruit emoji meanings in texts

A few fruits mean something else once they leave the grocery list. 🍑 peach stands for a bottom and 🍆 eggplant for, well, the obvious; 🍒 cherries and 🍌 banana can carry the same flirty double meaning. 🌶️ means hot or spicy, both as food and as a compliment, and 🍋 is sour or bitter, or a nod to Beyoncé’s Lemonade.

🍉 watermelon has become a symbol of solidarity with Palestine, because its red, green, white and black match the Palestinian flag. 🍎 means school or teachers, 🍏 health, 🥑 brunch culture and 🍓 sweetness. Used on their own in a recipe or a shopping list, they simply mean the fruit.

Healthy eating, recipes and veggie emoji

For vegetarian or vegan content, a short row like 🥦🥕🥬🫑 says “plant-based” at a glance; add 🌱 for vegan.

In recipes, emoji work as quick ingredient markers: 🧄🧅🍅 for a tomato sauce, 🥑🍋‍🟩🧅🌶️ for guacamole, 🍓🍌🫐 for a smoothie.
