Jaboticaba·嘉寶果
The jaboticaba fruit is unusual in that it appears to blossom right out of the bark and trunk of its tree. It is often used in its native lands in South America much like grapes are used elsewhere.
Kiwano·火參果
With its spiky yellow exterior and juicy green interior, this is one fruit with vibrant contrasts. It tastes like a cross between a cucumber and a zucchini (西葫蘆), and is rich in both vitamin C and fiber. Native to Africa, it has been exported and cultivated as far away as New Zealand, Australia and Chile.
Miraclefruit·神秘果
Native to West Africa, this berry got its name from its incredible ability to make sour fruits (like lemons and limes) taste sweet instead, when the juices are mixed together. Be careful though, because although the miraclefruit can distort the taste of sour foods, it does not change the chemistry of the food.
Langsat·蘭撒果
These small, translucent (半透明的), orb-shaped fruits are most often found in Southeast Asia, India and Bhutan. They can be quite sour when unripe, but are perfectly sweet when ripe with a taste similar to a bittersweet grapefruit.
Cupuacu·古布阿蘇果
Found throughout the Amazon basin, the flesh of this fragrant fruit is often used in desserts and sweets because of its chocolatey pineapple flavor.
