For fruits in Pikmin 3, see Fruit.

Fruits are items in Pikmin Bloom. They can be found on expeditions or mushroom battles, or picked up by Pikmin while walking, and they give the player nectar when collected. There are many different types of fruits, and they can be sorted into three categories based on how they are obtained.

Small fruits

Pikmin in the player's squad can randomly pick up small fruits nearby by themselves. Walking increases the chance of this happening. Each Pikmin can hold 1 fruit, and by tapping the Pikmin (either on the map screen or the garden screen), the fruit will be collected. Each fruit collected in this way produces a small amount of nectar of a specific type, with the type and amount of nectar being determined by the type of fruit. Forcing Pikmin out of the squad via double-tapping the whistle auto-collects any fruit held by the removed Pikmin.

These fruits can also be obtained through low scores in some types of mushroom battles. In this case, they can provide nectar of the listed color of a different species of flower.

Fruit Color of nectar Amount of nectar Rarity
  Lime   White 3-8 Very common
  Kumquat   Yellow 2-3 Common
  Cherry   Red 1 Less common
  Strawberry   Red 4-7 Uncommon
  Blueberry   Blue 1 Rare

Large fruits

These fruits can be collected on expeditions. The player can select a fruit from the list of available expeditions, and assign Pikmin to go and collect it. All fruits have a weight of 6 weight units, and up to 12 Pikmin can be sent to carry them. Once the Pikmin are back, the fruit can be collected in the garden screen, and will give the player a good amount of nectar. For all large fruits except Plums, the amount of nectar provided is equal to a floored tenth of the fruit's listed mass in grams (so a 358g fruit will give 35 nectar). For Plums, the amount of nectar provided is equal to a floored eighth of the fruit's listed mass in grams (so a 112g fruit will give 14 nectar). The types of nectar listed are the normal types each fruit provides, but in some situations, such as if the fruit is produced by blooming a Big Flower, it can give nectar from a different species of flower (though the color will be the same).

These fruits can also be obtained through mushroom battles. In this case, they may provide rare nectar of the listed color, rather than basic nectar.

These fruits are the only ones to have names stated in-game, through the expedition menu.

Fruit Color of nectar Amount of nectar
  Green Apple   White 26-51
  Lemon   Yellow 15-36
  Orange   Yellow 25-47
  Apple   Red 23-46
  Peach   Red 23-46
  Plum   Blue 10-20

Mushroom battle fruits

To do: Medium fruits were recently introduced without any word about them from Niantic. Because of this, how they are obtained and the amount of nectar they yield is unconfirmed. If you get any medium fruits as a reward from non-event mushrooms, or obtain a higher or lower amount of nectar than what is listed, please update this section accordingly!
Care to do so?

These fruits are only obtainable as rewards from mushroom battles. Medium fruits can only be obtained from event mushrooms, and they require 2 Pikmin to carry, regardless of the Pikmin’s carrying strength. Giant fruits can only be obtained by getting very high scores on mushrooms, and they require 8 Pikmin to carry, regardless of the Pikmin’s carrying strength. The flower species of the nectar provided from either size of fruit can vary.

In addition, there is one final type of fruit, the   special fruit. This gives 1   special nectar when collected, and is obtained in the same way as giant fruits. They require 1 Pikmin to carry.

Medium Fruit Color of nectar Amount of nectar
  Kiwi   White 13-21
  Loquat   Yellow 9-14
  Fig   Red 11-20
  Mangosteen   Blue 6-10
Giant Fruit Color of nectar Amount of nectar
  Melon   White 83-128
  Muscat grapes   White 45-75
  Grapefruit   Yellow 74-120
  Watermelon   Red 58-118
  Grapes   Blue 40-78
