Dragon Fruit 

 Dragon fruit can be found readily in markets. The flesh within is pink and may be either red or white. It originated in Asia but is most typically found in Central America. 

Mangosteen 

This fruit tastes like a mix of strawberry, kiwi and pineapple. Often called the ‘queen of fruits’, it has a tangy and sweet flavour. 

Buddha’s Hand 

Buddha’s Hand is a unique fruit that is rare and costly. Its name comes from the fact that it resembles a long set of fingers. Unlike most citrus fruits, Buddha’s Hand isn’t juicy, and it tastes mild and less sour. 

Kiwano 

Kiwano, sometimes referred to as Horned melon, has a sweet, fresh flavour and spiky skin. Horned melon can be eaten fresh, in a salad, or as a dessert. 

Golden Berries 

Golden berries are bright, orange-coloured fruits that are closely related to the tomatillo. Similar to tomatillos, they have a papery husk called a calyx that needs to be peeled off before consumption.
