30 of the weirdest fruits and vegetables from around the world​

They might look like something from another planet, but these odd-looking fruits and vegetables all bring something to the table. Some are known for their health-boosting properties, others for their taste and texture, and others even take the place of meat in vegan dishes.

Rambutan​

The name of this South East Asian fruit comes from the Malay word for hair, and it's not hard to see why. Unpeel the hairy-looking exterior for a sweet, creamy-tasting fruit that's packed with antioxidants and vitamin C.

Jackfruit​

Commonly found in parts of Asia, Africa, and South America, this strong-smelling behemoth of the fruit world is having a moment right now. Little-loved in fruit salads due to its unappetizing smell, it's come into its own as a natural vegan meat substitute.

Guaraná​

Know for its energy-boosting properties, this Amazonian power berry is best known as an ingredient in sports drinks and fatigue-reducing products. The seeds are usually dried and powdered, but in its natural form the fruit looks uncannily like an eyeball.

 

[jw5]

Noni​

Its pungent smell has earned it the nicknames of 'cheese fruit' and 'starvation fruit,' but don't let that put you off! Native to Asia, Australia, and Polynesia, the much-maligned fruit is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and for boosting the immune system.

Custard apple​

This gnarly green fruit tastes a whole lot better than it looks. Slice open the thick green skin for a deliciously rich, creamy fruit that can scooped out with a spoon like a dessert. Just be sure to spit out the inedible seeds.

They are slightly different. I also checked because I had the same question.

Soursop

Custard Apple


Soursop or graviola (in Spanish, guanábana) and cherimoya or custard apple (chirimoya or chirimoyo also in Spanish), are two different tropical fruits that are often mistaken one for the other. They both belong to the same Family; Annonaceae and are physically similar, however they both have very important differences that set them as two different fruits.

Cempedak

Then you fry it nice and crispy like banana fritters

Delicious. Can be lunch or dinner substitute. Better than McDonalds chicken nuggets.

Physalis​

These tangy little orbs are popularly used as an edible decoration thanks to their intricate casing (don't eat the shell!). But Physalis' beauty is more than skin deep: the warm-climate fruit is rich in vitamins A and C, iron, and phosphorus.
