Everyone’s familiar with the fruit at the grocery store – but how about the little known fruits that you may never have seen before? Get ready to learn about them here! If you’ve had one before, which is your favorite?
Dragon fruit
* Dragon fruit is the fruit of a cactus.
* Dragon fruit is also called pitaya.
* Dragon fruit tastes a bit like pear and kiwi, combined!
Durian
* Durians are covered in sharp spikes – although the fruit’s flesh is creamy.
* Durian is banned from certain places in Asia, due to its strong smell.
* Some compare the taste of a durian to shrimp, custard, apples and…gym socks.
Lychee
* Lychee fruit grows on a tree.
* A tough rind covers the soft insides of a lychee fruit.
* Lychee fruit has a delicate flavor – that’s why many people like to eat them fresh.
Persimmon
* Persimmons resemble tomatoes.
* You can eat persimmons raw, dried, or cooked
* Persimmons can be used in a variety of dishes – and are commonly used in dessert (because they’re sweet).
I have eaten all of them except for Persimmon. (I might have tried it but at this moment I can NOT remember.)
Thanks for the awesome information!! I will have to try some new fruits from the market, I have always wanted to taste the Star Fruit. But I am afraid it will taste horrible! Has anyone eatten the Star Fruit? If you have please please tell me what it taste like please. Thank you have a wonderful day!!!
I’ve had star fruit before. I don’t really remember exactly but I know I didn’t totally like it, but it does not taste horrible. It is very interesting, kind of too sweet for me as far as I remember. But it is kind of good, I would definitely not be afraid to try it!
If I remember correctly, starfruit is sweet and a bit sour. I know I loved it, but we don’t get it anymore because it’s too expensive. :( I really like it though!
Starfruit is AWESOME :)
I’ve had it in hawaii I used to like it now I don’t really, it’s definatly different. Try it and see if you like it.
One fruit I doubt many of you know about is rhombaton. I think that’s how you spell it. It tastes a lot like lychee but I like it more :) It looks like a spiky red nut but you peel it and it looks just like the inside of lychee.
Another fruit I like is apple banannas because they are small banannas and I think they taste better. :)
Meyer lemons are also good because they are sweeter than normal lemons and work better in homemade lemonade.
Who else has had these fruits?
I forgot! THe peels of rhombatons make good hats for webkinz!! :)
Rombutan is awesome. Tastes like peanuts but with orange. Had to explain. You can buy these in a can too. If is Chinese or se Asian food, I’ve eaten it. Some stuff is gross, but not the fruit. :)
I had star fruit once and i really like it i bet you will to!!!
:d
I love star fruit! It has crunchy texture, like water chestnuts in a stir fry.
durian looks really weird! I wonder if i’ll ever try it!!!
If you do, HOLD YOUR NOSE!!!!!
Why hold your nose?
it is very stinky that is why webkinz user
YEAH! i heard it stinks like a garbage can OPEN! i saw dragon fruit at a store before and i saw star fruit and passion fruit. i want to try lychee though. i only live in Canada and i dont know if they sell them here or not.
I’ve eaten all of them. The durian is really popular in Malaysia and Singapore and I ate them there. The durian stinks and you would have to go to a Chinatown to buy it. The other fruit you can buy in a can and the lychee can also be bought in a soda like can and drink it like fruit juice. :) Persimmon you can buy in a regular grocery store. It’s like pears or apples.
Do you like them? I want to try them. I’m going to the store today, so I’ll try to get some! Thanks Ganz. I’s cool to learn some facts about things we might not know about. It’s like Quizzy’s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:) :) :)Lol :D
Yeah right!
Don’t let a dragon fruit rot, it smells really bad. Trust me.
Thank-you for the very interesting information.I will look for these at the grocery store or market so we can have a new taste experience.My family loves trying new foods as do I.
cool! and weird! :)
Cool! Do you think Webkinz will start selling the Lychee and Persimmion in the W-shop ?
That’s what I was wondering.
same, durian looks a little weird though ;)
I never liked durian!! YUCK!
I LOVE Durian!
I have not tried it before.
Hey! persimmon is the color persimmon and orange is the color orange! HA HA!
I just love dragon fruit by the way. Even the gum, too bad they stopped selling it though. :(
I never had any of those fruits before. I might try them one day.
Don’t think I have either. At least, I don’t remember having had any. I REALLY want to try dragonfruit, though.
I hope they put the Persimmon and Lychee in the wShop!
I have had persimmon before.
It is good!
I want to try Lychee. It looks good!
Lychee is so good you should really try it
When u open it, it is clear & looks like a jellyfish. It doesn`t taste much better.
I have tried alll of thhose because we eat everything!!!
Lychee is good and sweet. Try it on Ice cream!
Where is kittycaty?
i bet lots of people in the us havent had those fruits, i might have had the permisson though before
i love fruit but am sick of ganz still celebrating the theme.get over it. also a way to celebrate flutter-bugged is to make the cotton candy sheep plush! i am fighting for it and will not give up!
Really? I have! They’re good. I love lychee so much! I would also recommend, oddly enough, lychee cookies and lychee juice. These can be found in most Asian stores, at least in Arizona. Lychee is not my favorite fruit, though. That one would have to be mango. You can also find mango juice and cookies in Asian stores. I would know because I’m from India.
lychee and persimmon r not in the wshop
I have tried all of these fruits. I love them all.
