Do you guys want to try all of these weird exotic fruits? Have you even ever heard of them before? Let's check......
# Pepino
Pepino is a very unique fruit because when it is fresh and only a few days off the plant it will taste sweet, and then a few days after that it will taste more like a vegetable, similar to a cucumber. Keep refridgerated to maintain sweetness. Pepino melon is becoming more popular in the US and can often be found in organic food markets or specialty produce stores.
# Capuacu
The flesh of a capuacu is often used in desserts because of its chocolatey pineapple flavor. The exocarp of a capuacu is very hard and may have to be sawed open in order to get to the sweet and tangy pulp on the inside.
# Langsat
When you open up a langsat you will notice a small translucent orb-shaped fruit on the inside. An unripe langsat is extremely sour but a ripe langsat tastes very similar to a bittersweet grapefruit. As of right now the best place to find these in the US would be Hawaii. I think langsat is similiar in indonesia with 'duku'. Aloha!
# Miraclefruit
Miraclefruit got its name due to its ability to make sour fruit taste sweet when their juices are mixed together. Miraclefruit berries are very sweet and highly perishable which is why they are often frozen of freeze dried. This exotic fruit is very hard to find in stores but can be ordered from many websites in several different forms.
# Jaboticaba
At first glance a jaboticaba might look like a pimple on a tree, as it appears to grow directly from the tree's bark. Jaboticaba is often compared to grape because of its grape-like texture and sweet flavor. Often used in wines and liqueurs, the jaboticaba can be found in the US state of California.
# Cherimoya
The taste of a cherimoya is best described as a cross between a banana and a pineapple. The best way to eat it is to open it up and scoop out the insides with a spoon. Cherimoyas can be found on the west coast in Hispanic markets or farmers markets in California. If you don't live on the west coast a quick Google search will return quite a few retailers that sell them online.
# Durian
Durian is one of the most unique fruits in the world because its outer shell resembles that of a porcupine or puffer fish. Durian is said to taste similar to pineapple and buttermilk but is often described as an acquired taste.
# Dragon fruit
Dragon Fruit is one of the most unique-looking fruits on the planet and not many people know that it is a cactus-bred fruit. When you open up a Dragon Fruit, you will notice a texture similar to kiwifruit due to its crunchy black seeds. It is one of the wildest fruits to look at and its taste is often described as having a mild sweetness.
# Goji Berry
Goji berry is a bright orange-red berry and is normally found growing on shrubs in China. Odds are you've probably drank something with goji berry in it, because the berry is a common ingredient in tea, wine, juice and various medicines. Goji berry is known to reduce high blood pressure, fevers and even prevent diabetes.
# African Horned Cucumber
Spiky and yellow on the outside but green and juicy on the inside, this exotic fruit is sometimes called the "blowfish fruit." It tastes like a cross between a zucchini and a cucumber.
# Ackee
Before the ackee opens up it looks very similar to a human brain, but after it opens up you will see three or four very large seeds surrounded by a cream-colored section. The seeds and red lining are then removed until you are left with only the flesh. Once the flesh is cooked it is creamy in texture and quite bitter in taste.
