6 exotic fruits that you should definitely try!
Summer is in full swing and vacation is getting closer and closer. In your thoughts, you are probably already "at the seas"... But don't indulge in empty dreams! In order for your vacation to be a success, you need to study the features of the country you are going to. This also applies to local food, which may surprise you quite a bit.
So, I suggest you get acquainted with six unusual fruits that you should definitely try if you are traveling to an exotic country!
1 place among all exotic fruits is rightfully occupied by DURIAN. Perhaps you have heard of such a fruit. Durian has a wonderful taste (similar to a mixture of exotic fruits seasoned with custard), but its smell is simply unbearable! Therefore, in countries where it is cultivated, there is a ban on eating this delicacy in public places, in addition, it is unacceptable to transport it by public transport, in relation to which there are corresponding laws. In addition, all because of the same smell, it is forbidden to export durian from Thailand and Vietnam. Therefore, at the airport, when checking things, it will simply be confiscated.
WHERE TO TRY DURIAN: Southeast Asia (most common in countries such as Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand) and India. Less common in South and Latin America, as well as in South Africa.
2nd place is given to such a fruit as Tsabry. It is a cactus fruit that is very tasty when ripe. The taste can be described as a combination of strawberries and ripe pear pulp. Tsabry is consumed both fresh and processed, as jam. They also make wonderful refreshing drinks from it.
WHERE TO TRY TSAB: Mexico. Also currently cultivated tsab in the Mediterranean countries (Israel, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Algeria, Tunisia). In addition, the fruits of the cactus can be found in Brazil, Chile, India, Egypt, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Madagascar. Tsab is even found on the South Coast of Crimea, but here you will see it in the wild.
3rd place - STAR APPLE. This fruit got its name due to its appearance, or rather, due to the appearance of the cross-section of the fruit. As for the taste, it is quite original. The special feature is very juicy pulp.
WHERE TO TRY STAR APPLE: in Central America and in countries with a tropical climate.
In 4th place is a citrus fruit called BUDDHA'S HAND. It looks like an octopus with many tentacles. The fruit smells like lemon, but its taste is more like orange. Buddha's Hand is mainly used to flavor dishes.
WHERE YOU CAN TRY THE HAND OF BUDDHA: Vietnam, India, China, other countries with a subtropical climate.
5th place goes to SALAK, which is also called snake fruit. And all because of its peel, which resembles snake skin. The taste of salak is quite pleasant, reminiscent of a mixture of pineapple and banana. The pulp is refreshing.
WHERE TO TRY SALAK: Southeast Asia.
6th place — MAGIC FRUIT. The fruit lives up to its name! The thing is that it can block the taste buds of the tongue that are responsible for sour taste. That’s why after eating the magic fruit, you will feel even a very sour lemon as sweet! This effect will last for 2 hours. So, if you get the chance, try this trick! 🙂
WHERE YOU CAN TRY THE MAGICAL FRUIT: West Africa.
