A stroll through the produce aisle in a modern supermarket may give the impression that you've got a wide variety of choice in the fruit that you eat, but in reality that's only a small sampling of Mother Nature's bounty. The world is full of bizarre and exotic treats you've probably never heard of before. Live a little, travel, and try something different. Apples and oranges will look pretty ordinary after you take a look at these wild and delicious fruits.

6 of these fruits are very common here in the Phils -- Mangosteen, Rambutan, Jackfruit. Durian. Langsat (we call it "Lanzones") and Cherimoya (which we call "Atis") . As for the 9, i haven't heard of them before.
