Heaviest & largest fruit The current world record holder for heaviest fruit is a pumpkin that weighed 2,624.6 lb (1,190.5 kg), which was grown by Mathias Willemijns. It broke Beni Meier’s record of 2,323.7 lb (1,054.0 kg) in 2016.

So far, the largest known fruit was a pumpkin, grown by a human, rather than naturally in the wild. Produced in 2014, it weighed more than a tonne, topping the scales at a mouth-watering 1056kg. This freakish fruit is not quite as outlandish as it may first seem.
