Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Are there other not-sweet fruits?
Tons of them, but we don't tend to eat them, so they don't come up in conversation. If it's got seeds inside but not in a legumey way, it's a fruit. Lots of plants reproduce thusly.

Then what in sweet hell is a banana?
Genetically engineered over multiple generations not to have seeds, but still fruit.
