I SWEAR by rambutans. They are my favorite fruit, possibly my favorite food. Does anyone know where we can get some in the US?

I’m going to have to agree about the Durian being terrible. I had a taste of a durian shake, and it tasted like rotten cantalope mixed with what I imagine the smell of animal decomposition would taste like, if that makes any sense. It was absolutely awful.

My husband liked it though, weirdo.

I havent tried the Monstera Deliciosa.

But the rambutan, mangosteen, sapote and durian are readily available here in the philippines. If i can afford them. :D

Try a granadilla. It looks like an orange on the outside. Crack the hard shell, peel back the white ‘stuff’ inside (looks like cotton, or Styrofoam), and the fruit inside is delicious. It’s a grayish glob of stuff that can only be described as looking like brain-matter. As disgusting as it sounds, it’s really delicious! I found it in a store named Pusateri’s, in Toronto, Canada.

You guys forgot to mention Dragon fruit! Whenever I find some in Chinatown downtown I always grab them. Nice flavor and texture. They always freak my friends out when they see them, but once they’ve tasted them they want more!

Trader Joe’s has dried rambutans and mangosteens. They aren’t half bad. The rambutans have a difficult to describe (mushroom? fish?) flavor that I liked, but some of my coworkers didn’t. The mangosteens were more well received, but I detected a hoppy, beer-like flavor in the nutty center. Both worth buying.

I have heard many great things about mangosteen and its amazing health benefits.

Try ATEMOYA or sweet apple. Absolutely delicious and superior cousin to cherimoya!

Mangosteens are rockin, they have the sweetest tasting fruit, if you can get over the fact they look like fat, white grubs.
