What is a loquat in swahili
Strawberry is stroberi/forosadi, custard apple is tomoko/stafeli, avocado is parachichi/pea, pear is peazi and passion fruit is karakara/pasheni . Addition: baobab fruit is ubuyu and tamarind fruit is ukwaju.
The correct swahili word for peanut is karanga and not jugu.

@Pongolani.. Njugu is correct.. Sisi tunaita peanuts njugu
What do we call Bitter Melon and Koki in swahili?
Vilma asks what a loquat is called in Swahili. It is sambia. Concerning Mbugua\’s question, do you mean the Mediterranean or the African locust bean? The first is called karuba and the second nienzi or lopa.
Pongolani says:
The correct swahili word for peanut is karanga and not jugu.
I disagree with Pongolani on referring to peanut as karanga. People fry peanut and when it is fried, it is called Njugu Karanga (Fried Peanut). With time some people dropped the Njugu part and started referring to the fried peanut as karanga when buying. The seller would understand that they mean fried peanut. Karanga became common and people just started referring to peanut as karanga. Therefore, those who did not grow up during the time when fried peanut was properly called njugu karanga continued calling peanut karanga instead of njugu. If you do not have this background you may assume that it is called so. Karanga simply means fry while Njugu means peanut.
This is great and very helpful, please update so it grows
In Tanzania njugu is peanut stone or you can say njugu mawe
very great swahili meanings
Tunda linaloitwa kungu kwa kiswahili linaitwaje kwa kingereza
Njugu mawe is totally a different item from njugu. And also when the peanut is inside its pod we call it njugu nyasa
I have truly never heard of Njugu Mawe in my entire life. In Tanzania at least in Dar es Salaam, if you say Njugu mawe it might really confuse someone. It is almost like you\’re asking for stones in your raw peanuts.
Or rather like you\’re asking for \’stone hard peanuts\’ swahili is a very poetic language, a metaphor can easily be taken literally.
Feijoa in Swahili ni tunda gani
I thought peanuts was “karanga”. I’m Tanzanian and I live in Dar and that’s what we call peanuts.
I have the same question as Aman, what is kungu/Makungu in English?
What is prunes in swahili
1) Njugu are raw peanuts and roasted Njugu are called Karanga;
2) Njugu Mawe are nuts roasted but extremely hard to chew and eat. We used to buy these from the vendors who sold Karanga roasted / bolied, bisi (popcorn) and Daria (roasted chick peas; and
3) I would like to know what Khungu/Makhugu is called in English and its botanical name.
Njugu mawe is normally used to refer to macadamia nuts.
Pasion fruit kwa Kiswahili ni karakara/pesheni. Lime ni limau, Lemon ndio ndimu.
