1) Akebi (Japan)


Akebi is considered a culinary commodity since it’s only available during the first two weeks of fall. In Japan, many stuff, sauté, or deep fry the purple pod’s exterior, and use the translucent, pear-tasting interior to pickle cucumber.


2) Buddha's hand (India/China)


Buddha’s hand looks like a mutated lemon, but you can use it the same way. Break off a “finger” and grate it over baked goods, marinades, or salad dressings for a pinch of zest. The aroma is strong, so remember that a little goes a long way.

4) Kiwano (South Africa)


Kiwano’s spikey orange shell and slimy green interior give off an extraterrestrial vibe. While it tastes like a bland combination of cucumber, zucchini, and kiwi before it’s ripe, it becomes sweeter with age. Just cut the fruit in half and squeeze out its goo-covered seeds.


5) Pandanus (Pacific Islands)


Similar to a pineapple, pandanus has sectional “keys” that produce a juicy nectar that can be sucked out or added to rice, meat, or fish for extra flavor. On the Marshall Islands, many also use the leaves to make grass skirts, mats, baskets, and natural dental floss.


6) Carambola (Malaysia)


Carambola is also called “star fruit” because of its shape when sliced. Sweet and slightly sour, it’s a good alternative to citrus and works well as a garnish. Remember: the brighter the skin, the sweeter the pick.


7) Salak (Indonesia)


A scaly shell covers the outside of “snake fruit.” But crack it open, and you’ll find three lobes that look like garlic cloves. Sweet like honey and tangy like a pineapple, this miniature fruit is an absolute flavor bomb.

Picked 1, wanted 8.

Embarrassed to say I’ve never tried any of these and only heard of star fruit.

Durian would’ve been a good option too but it probably smells like that twink’s angus.

Panda anus for me

Fuking love star fruit. Lychees are goat too

The only exotic fruit I need is this one:



So it won't roll around in the fridge.
