I recently tried passion fruit and I thought it was really delicious.

They're such a bother to eat though. I'd rather drink the juice.

When I was a kid there was a period when I ate a ton of starfruit/carambola. I should try it again.

I freaking love pomegranates. They're so delicious.

Rambutans resemble bright red sea urchins but taste like nectar of the gods.

THIS. They're so good, but I'm spoiled and the canned/frozen ones you get in the States are not the same. :(

The big grocery store in my home town has rambutans, but how do I tell if they're fresh? I suspect they sit around a long time because how many people in the middle of Iowa even know what a rambutan is, besides some of the students at the university?

Then it's unlikely they're fresh, but the way you can tell is by the color. It should be a vibrant cherry red, with spines that are springy and pale green at the tip, NOT dark or with crushed/wilted spines:

Ours look brown and draggled and miserable compared to that. I don't think they can be fresh.

I'm sad that rambutan season is over. The ones I see in the market these days look dismal.

Back in college, I used to buy half a kilo of rambutan from a street vendor on my way home and I usually end up eating them all by evening. When I'm feeling generous, I'd buy a kilo so half of it is mine and the other half would be for the rest of the family. I am a rambutan glutton.

Kiwifruit is pretty good.

I like dragonfruit.

If you can get fresh mangosteen, try it, and also I'm jealous of anyone who has regular access to it. Fresh jackfruit is interesting. There are a bunch of others I'd love to try, but those two I've actually had.

My grandpa used to have a jackfruit tree in his front yard. Every year it would grow just one fruit, usually weighing 30 kilos or so, and once it's ripe enough he'd invite us all in his house and we'd have a jackfruit party. SO YUMMY.

I have a friend whose family owns a mangosteen farm, and they would give away mangosteen on the verge of being overripe so it won't spoil. I like eating it with a bit of salt to bring out the sweetness.
