15 fruits you've probably never heard of

Think exotic
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 true 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. (Text: Bryan Nelson)

I know most of these fruits, In fact we have that in our backyard we plant a lot of fruits and vegetables in our backyard were I came from originally because we have a nice weather over there, i love coconut, did you guys know that if you drink the juice of the coconut. it will cure your cold. that cute little red fruit called"Rambutan" those are awesome. and the green big fruit looks like a porcupine on the outside skin, that is "Jackfruit" and when they're ripe you can smell it all over....

I miss living in Brazil and having access to such wonderful fruit like the Jabuticaba. I live in Arizona now and am lucky that they can grow citrus here.
So strange to hear these fruits being called exotic when these are as common as, well, apples here.
Many of the fruits common here will seem pretty bizzare there, I am sure.
half of the fruits mentioned on this article is so familiar with me..
I can almost eat those fruits whenever I want as it's locally available in my place. cheers!

nganu ge harvest naman ni na dabong paman jamu, naunsa...wa ni unod tawn dong oi. ibalik nas punoan kaw...
I live in Florida and have a jabuticaba and miracle fruit trees that produce every year. If it will grow in your climate plant it!
Where would you get these seeds and/or seedlings?
i used to eat some of the fruits when i was a kid. nice to know somebody remembers them. and i know lots of others. my dad used to give us.mmm good.
Malaysia is definitely the best place for tropical fruits. Its fruits contain a variety, from sweet, to sour, to bitter. It's awesome to be Malaysian! M'sia Boleh!
Well guys come on down to Malaysia..I have the coconut, rambutan, durian, mangosten, langsat, and even jackfruit grown behind my grandma's house. Now come to think of it..it is a treasure trove to the foreign fruit lovers.
You can easily get these fruits all year round in Malaysia's market.

indeed it is wonderful to learn about things beyond what we see as common...even if they are inaccessible to some

It's a coco fruit of the coco tree from the coco palm family..
The coconut nut is a giant nut If you eat too much, you'll get very fat Now, the coconut nut is a big, big nut But it's delicious nut is not a nut.
The coconut bark for the kitchen floor
If you save some of it, you can build the door
Now, the coconut trunk, do not throw this junk
If you save some of it, you'll have the second floor.

We have coconut in my country and I used to eat it a lot, but I'm still skinny. I never gained a lb when I was eating it.
Looks like coconut...isn't that?
As someone who teaches economic botany and traveled in the tropics a great deal, there were still 3 of these that were new to me, but all the rest I've sampled.
do we care?
