Frushi is a food made of fruit, rice, and sometimes other ingredients. Its name is a portmanteau of the words "fruit" and "sushi," and the concept of the dish was inspired by the Japanese food Sushi.

Frushi is similar to sushi in presentation, but the pieces of fish that are characteristic ingredients of sushi are replaced with pieces of fruit. Seaweed is seldom if ever included in frushi and there is no analogous ingredient. Though wasabi and soy sauce are popular condiments for sushi, neither is typically served with frushi because their strong flavors would conflict with the lighter fruity flavors of frushi. Yogurt is sometimes served as a condiment instead.

Frushi is served by Orange, a restaurant in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago.
