Q - Quandong fruit.
Santalum acuminatum, the desert quandong, is a hemiparasitic plant in the sandalwood family, Santalaceae, (Native to Australia) which is widely dispersed throughout the central deserts and southern areas of Australia. The species, especially its edible fruit, is also commonly referred to as quandong or native peach. The use of the fruit as an exotic flavouring, one of the best known bush tucker (bush food), has led to the attempted domestication of the species.

X - Origin: Xanthium strumarium, commonly known as cocklebur or rough cocklebur, is a plant species that produces small, spiky fruits. It is native to North America, but can now be found in Australia, New Zealand, and South America. Unfortunately, it is largely considered an invasive weed. This fruit may be the strangest entry among foods that begin with the letter X.
Taste and Uses: The seeds of Xanthium strumarium are toxic and not meant for consumption. The fruit itself is typically not consumed due to its bitterness and toxicity. Not surprisingly, it has limited culinary uses. Historically, some Native American tribes used it for medicinal purposes, but it’s not commonly used today. It is mainly considered a weed or invasive plant in agriculture.
