  1. Of all the fruits you show here I am familiar with two of them the cherimoya( I agree with Mark Twain saying that it´s the most delicious fruit) and the oca which oddly enough y happend to find it here in Mendoza Argentina…and I do enjoy it very much.

  2. Living in a rural area, where could one find these foods, and are they expensive?

  3. Any list of exotic fruit must contain Durian. It is a very large fruit somewhat resembling the Jackfruit but with somewhat sharp points covering the outside skin. Inside are “sacks” of creamy goodness and very large brown/black seeds. The fruit is very high in sulfur so it has a very strong smell that many find offensive. The flavor is something very different as well. Personally I love it, but my wife makes me eat it or freeze it quickly. It is said to be the favorite fruit of orangutans who are native to its growing region in S.E. Asia (Brunei, Indonesia, and Malaysia) where it is called “The King of Fruits.” It is an excellent source of health benefiting B-complex groups of vitamins; a rare feature for fruits,
    such as niacin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), pyridoxine (vitamin B-6) and thiamin (vitamin B-1). It is high in Vitamin C as well. Further, it also contains a good amount of minerals like manganese,
    copper, iron and magnesium. It is also high in potassium and the amino acid Tryptophan. It is certainly not a fruit for everyone, but everyone should give it a try at least once.

    I really like the Jons soursop juice (graviola) — but have read mixed reports about the fruit. Some say it may cause Parkinson’s while others say it is great to treat or ameliorate cancer. Where is the truth on this one? I guess it is also related to the pawpaw or custard apple.
