Monstera deliciosa
Native to the rain forests of Central America, monstera deliciosa looks more like an ear of corn than a fruit. To get to its pineapple-like flesh, the scaly exterior must be flaked off and delicately prepared. Interestingly, this fruit takes as long as a year to ripen and to be safe enough to eat — it can be toxic if unripe.

I just astonished how many amazing fruits at our planet...
What about snakefruit? I tried it in Indonesia this summer. The skin is brown and scaly. When peeled it looks a bit like garlic, but it tastes incredible!
i haven't tasted any snakefruit but i eat alot of snakebeans..very tasty .. the beans look like long snakes with green and white stripes...i have in my backyard growing .
We have it in Malaysia, but we call it salak. I think the aguajefruit they mention is the same thing. Probably they show a different species, because the scales are reddish and the flesh is too yellow, but I'm pretty sure it's salak/snakefruit
