Fruit it!


I thought living in a tropical country means a whole loads of fruits varieties. and we do have humongously different kinds of fruits, but it turns out that i haven't seen it all. Here are some that i haven't seen before, let alone taste it. thanks to the help of the world wide web.


Goumi

rich in vitamin A, C, and E and Grows rapidly in China. like the vibrant color. i think this is what it'll looks like if u cross-breed cranberry, grape and baby tomatoes.

Sapote

haven't seen this fruit but it looks like sth that grows in a tropical country. it can cause drowsiness, so... eating it is not recommended.

Dogwood

quite sweet tho tasteless. some used for medicinal reason as it is good for kidney. looks super weird huh? seems like something u'd find deep down under the sea.

Santol

looks like mangosteen from the inside and tiny pumpkin from the outside. widely used for jam. i wonder how this one taste...hmm...

Ugli

derived from the name "ugly" to represent the look of it. despite the name, amongst everything else in this list, i would really love to eat this most as it comes from citrus family (my fav!).
