Many of us are undoubtedly particular choosing the same foods over and over again and turning up our noses at the sight of anything new. So if you enjoy exploring new tastes, here we have today some funky fruits for you which have unpronounceable names but are a must-try once.

This fruit with messy hair tastes quite good and is elder brother to lychee in the way it looks.

This fruit can claim the award for being the largest fruit that comes from a tree weighing as much as 80 pounds. Sweet fans can put jackfruit in custards and cakes or eat it as dried chips.
Kiwano
It is thought to be a part of the melon family, has a jelly-like flesh and tastes somewhere between a cucumber and banana with the tangy taste of lemon.
Fingered Citron
Have you ever encountered this wonderfully bizarre fruit? This is used for for making infused vodka. Also known as Buddha’s Hand. These creepy-cool Buddha’s hand is always needed for Halloween celebrations.
