Once declared “the most delicious fruit known to men” by Mark Twain, cherimoya is one of the healthiest foods you’ve never heard of and grown in tropical regions throughout the world, but especially in Central and South America. The green exterior of the conical fruit takes on the appearance of scales, but on the inside, you’ll find creamy, white flesh that some have described as a combination of banana, pineapple, strawberry, papaya and peach. |

The distinctive ridges of carambola create a star shape when the fruit is cut, hence it is also referred to as star fruit. Native to Indonesia and the Philippines but grown in tropical climates throughout the world, carambola is commonly eaten in Southeast Asia, Micronesia, the South Pacific and parts of East Asia. The fruit is a bright yellow color, sometimes with traces of green, when ripe and has a crunchy and juicy texture with a tart taste that has been compared to a combination of apple, grape, pear and citrus fruits. |

Actually a bell-shaped berry that tastes nothing like an apple, wax apples are most commonly red but also come in colors that range from white to green, red to crimson, or purple to black. Its thin skin has a sheen that gives it a waxy appearance, and the inside is white and spongy with a flavor like that of snow pears. |
