what are some obscure fruits everyone should try?
I'll start by mentioning the fruit from a tree typical of my area, Arbutus unedo

I'm the king of manchild who doesn't eat much fruit because it's boring and I eat lots of candy instead.
But, fuck me, mangosteen is delicious. Really, really rich and sweet, with a slight tang, and unique flavour.

what's the texture of this like?

[Anonymous No.18179929]

Yuzu is my favorite cirtrus to cook or make drinks with.
I’ve heard people describe the flavor as lemon+lime+grapefruit or lemon+grapefruit. I personally don’t taste any grapefruit and describe it as midway between lemon/lime.
But it isn’t really imported to the US, and only a very small amount is grown domestically in California.
So it’s impossible to find fresh when I’m here, and yuzu juice imported from Japan is way too expensive for what it is.

Canepas are my favorite fruit, near impossible to get where i currently live.
>similar to a lychee where it has an outter skin you open and a soft fleshy fruit surrounded by a large pit. come's from islands like the dominican republic

The flesh breaks apart very easily; once you get through the fleshy, almost stringy part, it becomes extremely slippery and jelly like. You can strip that part off with your teeth if you don't mind risking a bit of woodiness, since it's usually attached very tightly to the seeds. The seeds themselves are usually so small that you can swallow them without issue, so this advice is better geared towards the larger vesicles.

in Vietnam they put these with sugarcane juice. very tasty

[Anonymous No.18183846]

big fan of longans lychees and all members of that family.
passionfruit and its relatives. there's one in peru that is very tasty, forget what it's called.
vu sua/star apple (picrel)
pomelo
dragonfruit, especially the purple ones
mangosteens are probably my favorite overall though. when i lived in VN and they came in season, i'd regularly buy and eat a whole kg (most of that weight is the rind, but still)

>big fan of longans lychees and all members of that family.
I love lychee season in Miami, where you'll see people selling them out of their car trunks in random places, from like an ice chest. If you're Jamaican chinese, you've probably planted them all over your yard when you first emigrated. A couple pounds of peak-ripeness lychee is like heaven. I pluck a couple out of the bottom drawer in my fridge and never share. No one could possibly love them more than I do, so why waste them? These utterly ripe lychees are as exciting as living in Maine and spotting that guy selling lobsters from wholesale prices from his truck, or going down to the keys and getting a big dolphin on the hook.

Also, my next door neighbor has a varietal called champagne mangoes, the best I've tasted in my whole life.

So this is a cousin of the mango or something? I only know the name from King Louis (*Christopher Walken version) saying it while my kids watched that movie 200 times. Can you describe the taste, at least compared to a mango?
