I’ve rarely thought about how few foods start with letter J, so this letter J charcuterie board is a little slim compared to some of my other letter boards, but hopefully there are enough foods both in the picture and below to get your wheels spinning and help you come up with the food ideas you need.

With that said here is my list of 80 Foods that Start with Letter J, only a few of which are shown on the charcuterie board, but can you name all J foods I used for it?

I’ve got the full 80 items listed first, but after that I’ve sorted the foods into types and if you want you can just pop to those sections. The types are:

• Fruits and Vegetables

• Sweets and Treats

• Meals and Snacks

• Letter J Brand Named Foods

If you get to the end of the page and have ideas about more food that could be added, please drop me a comment, I’d love to include them 🙂
