I'm not sure but almost all of this fruit are available in my area and not so rare at all. maybe because I live in asia ><

Hello everyone,
I enjoyed reading your comments about fruits. If you are having a party wiht a tropical theme which fruit will appeal to your visual senses more on a drawing or some kind of scene Setter or perhaps on its own as a decorative piece. I have been looking at several party items and i mostly see the pineapple and the coconut fruit and tree. I am trying to me more creative. Thanks for your comments.

I love rambutan! One of my favorite fruit ^-^'

Does anyone know what kind of fruit has a flesh that is like egg whites with small seeds in it?

Rambutan is the soft, but spikey, fruit ... with the large white egg-like fruit inside. It's texture is very similar to a really big, peeled grape.

Dragon fruits?

its not weird at all as ive always seen them

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 our

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!

Wow, and I am only familiar with our market fruits, which ocassionally inlcude some unusual (to us anyway) produce. But these look delightful! What an interesting slide show!

Same with us here in CA And I am a avid gardener that grows everything from banana's to avocado's ,To me it is AWESOME to learn about and maybe even try to grow..

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.

same here in the philippines and a lot more...

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

only 4 fruits on here are found in the phillipines. so whatever. Check your gov. agricultural website. I did.

most of these fruits can be found in the philippines,its only a fraction of fruits that grow on that island,lots more you never heard of.

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.

LOLzzzz

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?

ooo These fruits are cool 8)
