The 10 most interesting fruits in the world that you probably haven't heard of before...

Hello kitchen readers, today I come with an interesting research.

Wherever you live, there are fruits and vegetables that grow in accordance with the climate and geographical conditions of the place you live.

I think there are very few people who do not consume fruit. Because the variety of fruits in nature is so wide that there is definitely a fruit for everyone's taste.

If we go to South America or Asia, things are a little different here and it's fun as I'm not used to it. There are many different fruits that grow there, as I do not know the taste, I have never heard or seen the name.

But I would love to try it, now I'll just be content with looking at your photos :)

Akebi

Akebi literally means "a rare shade of blue". The skin of Akebi, which opens in the same way as a pea and has a sour taste, is consumed inside. Since it is very difficult to separate the fleshy part and seeds from each other, they are eaten together. Akebi, harvested in the fall, grows in northern Japan. Therefore, your chance to taste Akebi is not very high.
