What fruit has no protein?!
What fruit has no protein?
Answers:
Protein is nothing more than amino acids and if you go through this list you'll see that all fruits have at least some amount of protein.

Edit:
I was *really* hoping a fruitarian would jump in and 'defend' fruits but here's protein values on the specific fruits mentioned so far. I think folks are basing their answers on values for fruit juice and not the actual fruit itself. FAO doesn't list them all so values are also obtained from NutritionData even though they list items they don't have full data on

For comparison purposes I'm basing these results on 100 grams. Note that most vegetarians would eat *much* larger quantities of these fruits on a daily basis
watermelon has .6 grams 7% of calories are protein
apple has .4 grams 2% calories protein
apricot has 2.2grams 10% calories protein
cranberries .4 and 3%
figs 1.2 and 6%
kumquats 1.9 and 9%
lime .7 and 8%
passionfruit 2.2 and 8%
persimmon 1.0 and 3%
Low is not the same as no! Just for grins I added up my typical consumption of these named fruits and got a total protein amount of 21.3 grams protein. I do know that on any typical given day fruit accounts for about 9 grams of my total protein.

I think you are confusing meat and protein. Protein is an essential requirement for humans to live healthy. Meat happens to have high amounts of protein, but you "must" consume proteins
no fruit has protein
I think all fruits have trace amounts of protein. Maybe watermelon?

Edit- Not necessarily zero, but not much to speak of either.
Everything alive is full of protein -- protein is the building block of life, haven't you ever heard that? Things such as water and rocks lack protein.
