    Mangosteen

    Dubbed the “queen of fruits” in Southeast Asia, mangosteen has a sweet and tangy flavor beneath its thick, purple rind. Packed with antioxidants, it’s a healthy and delicious choice.

    Cherimoya

    Called “the most delicious fruit known to men” by Mark Twain, cherimoya features a creamy texture with a mix of banana, pineapple, and strawberry flavors. Known also as custard apple, it’s best enjoyed chilled.

    Durian

    The “king of fruits,” durian is famous for its potent aroma and rich, custard-like texture with almond and cheddar notes. It’s a staple in Southeast Asia, celebrated for its health benefits.

    Dragon Fruit

    Dragon fruit, or pitaya, stands out with its vibrant pink skin and speckled flesh. Its taste is a blend of kiwi and pear, perfect for smoothies or salads. It’s also rich in fiber and vitamins.

    Feijoa

    Also known as pineapple guava, feijoa offers a sweet, aromatic flavor that mixes pineapple, guava, and mint. It’s high in vitamin C and adds a tropical twist to any fruit salad.
