The white, pulpy part of the fruit is what you eat. It is slightly tangy, slightly sweet, and super cool looking.

Similar to a lychee, but way bigger and with no pit. Sign me up!

6. Jackfruit
Like a cross between a mango, banana, apple, pineapple, and a hedgehog.

7. Spanish Lime
Although it looks like a lime and tastes like a lime, it is not a lime. It is more lychee-like (it seems everything is lychee-like). And to boot, it’s also not Spanish, as it comes from Central and South America, as well as the Caribbean.

8. Noni Fruit
Known for its foul smell and nasty taste, it is usually used for medicinal purposes in various forms.

9. Ackee
This is the national fruit of Jamaica and also part of it’s national dish, ackee and codfish. It is to be eaten cooked, as the unripe raw form contains hypoglycin, which is a poison.

10. Lakoocha
This stringy-fleshed fruit is similar in taste to a kiwi, mixed with the muskiness of a breadfruit.

11. Wood Apple
Anyone interested in a mushy, fermented raisin-tasting fruit?

12. Buddha’s Hand
This is a citron, thus unlike it’s orange and lemon cousins, it has no pulp. The fact that it is basically all rind makes it great for zesting and making marmalades. Oh, and scaring the crap out of small children.

13. Hala Fruit
Each little section or leaf is called a “key,” which contains flavorful seeds. Unfortunately, keys are very tough, making them much better as part of lei wreaths.

14. Jabuticaba
Yes, they grow on the side of a tree like little fruit barnacles, but don’t hold that against them. Pop one in your mouth, squeeze out the inner grape-like flesh and spit out the skin and seeds.

15. Star Apple, sometimes known as Breast Milk Fruit
Just squeeze it, slurp the juice, then eat the inner flesh (not the skin or the rind, though).
Source: Quora
16. Snake Fruit
The white flesh has the consistency of peeled garlic cloves, with a sweet and acidic taste. It also looks creepy as hell.

17. Longan, sometimes known as Dragon Eye
Another lychee-like fruit. I’m beginning to think “tastes like lychee” is the “tastes like chicken” of the fruit world.

18. Sapodilla, sometimes known as Chico Fruit
The flesh is pear-like in consistency with a malty taste and a tannic, mouth-drying quality.
Source: Quora
19. Feijoa, sometimes known as Guavasteen or Pineapple Guava
Slice one in half and scoop out the sweet flesh that too has a pear-like consistency.

20. Durian
You either love or hate the putridly sweet custard-like flesh of the durian. There is no in-between.
