10 exotic super fruits
These fruits look so yummy and healthy. I so want to see if i can grow any of these in Australia on the East Coast.
HAVE YOU TRIED ANY OF THESE HEALTHY FRUITS?
Apples, oranges, bananas,
and watermelon. These are some of the fruit you commonly see browsing
through the supermarket, but what about the fruit you don’t see?
Although it may seem like you have a wide variety of choices, there are
many exotic super fruits that you probably aren’t eating.
The world is full of amazing, delicious fruit – and on my
recent trip to Costa Rica I had the privilege of enjoying just a sample
of Mother Nature’s bounty.
A lot of these fruits can be found in Asian grocery stores
– all it takes is a phone call and some patience. These fruits are also
found throughout Central America, South America and Asia (if you ever
happen to go there!).
Here are 10 exotic super fruits you probably aren’t eating!
This magical fruit that tastes like a cross between a
banana and a pineapple is a must on your list of fruits to try. It is
thought to be native to Ecuador, Colombia, Peru and Bolivia. I had the
pleasure of trying it down in Costa Rica, and even in my home town,
Winnipeg, Manitoba. The creamy texture is to die for – I could eat these
endlessly if they weren’t so expensive!

Rambutan
This funky-looking fruit is native to Malaysia and other
regions of Southeast Asia like Thailand. The outside may look
intimidating, but once you get inside, you’ll be pleased to find a
grape-like translucent fruit with a sweet and mildly acidic flavour that
just so happens to taste like a grape too!

Biriba (Rollinia)
If you haven’t tried a biriba, then you need to get down to Costa Rica, stat! This fruit tastes just like
if not better than a lemon meringue pie (the lemon filling, that is).
The texture is creamy similar to that of pudding! The fruits are
delicate, so once they’re picked, they need to be eaten fast (which is
why they usually can’t be found in North America). These fruits are
found in Central America, like Costa Rica, and also South America, like
Brazil.

Jackfruit
The jackfruit is a species of tree in the Artocarpus
genus of the mulberry family. It is native to parts of Southeast Asia,
but is thought to have originated in the rain forests of India. I’ve
personally found it in Costa Rica, grown by my friend Eric on his farm Jewel of the Sun (La Joya del Sol).
This massive fruit must be eaten when it is totally ripe or you’ll get
mouthfuls of sticky latex. They taste exactly like juicy fruit bubblegum
and have been compared to a cross between the flavours of an apple,
pineapple, mango and banana.

Durian
Regarded by many people in southeast Asia as the “king of
fruits”, the durian is one incredible fruit. It is covered in spikes and
has a very strong odour, but tastes like a sweet custard with a hint of
almonds, and has the texture of a rich custard. Some people think the
durian has a sweet fragrance, while others find the aroma revolting. The
durian is found all throughout Thailand and Indonesia, but can be found
throughout North America in Asian stores or even large supermarkets.

Sapodilla
This maple-sugar tasting fruit is native to southern
Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. However, it is grown in large
quantities in India, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia,
Bangladesh and Mexico. The outside of the fruit is papery and the fruit
itself is pale yellow to earthy brown. It has a grainy texture similar
to that of a pear, and tastes like a mix between caramel, brown sugar,
and maple syrup.
