There is also mini mangos and they are super sweet and easier to eat than the really mega big ones.

This is snakefruit.  Sometimes it is more round and brown. It might look like a strawberry but it taste like a cross between an apple and a pineapple.  This is mom's favorite.

    Oh Jones, you make me want to buy a ticket back to SE Asia!! We are really missing all those fab fruits. My favorite was the Mangosteen and the Rambutan was a close second. We discovered a new fruiit in New Zealand called Fiejoa – but it is not quite as tasty as the Asian fruits.

    Beautiful, Jones. I’m going to see if I can find anything like these fruits in Seattle – maybe at Uwajimaya – and now I won’t be afraid to try them.

    Jones, I love your description of each fruit. The pictures make the fruit look a little scary but when I read your description it made my taste buds jump! I would love to try them. Thanks for introducing me to such exotic fruits.
