World's Weirdest Exotic Fruits
A sure sign that you've landed somewhere new, exotic fruits intrigue and challenge us, whether by their unfamiliar size, shape, texture, or smell. The stinky durian fruit, for instance, has become infamous among travelers to China and Southeast Asia.
"I was thrown off a bus once because I had one in my bag," says travel writer Mikaya Heart. But she's quick to add that durian is one of her favorite tastes: "It is very succulent and oily, the consistency and color of really thick custard. I would eat it every day if I could." With a little effort, you can find durian and other exotic fruits without flying halfway across the world; start your search at specialty grocery stores or ethnic restaurants.
