If you eat the fruit by itself, it’s lackluster and not very interesting at all. However, if you combine this fruit or the juice of the fruit with a citrus juice, the entire concoction becomes sweet, along with everything you eat after, including lemons. The reason behind this “miracle” is the molecule in the fruit called miraculin which actually distorts the sweet taste buds on your tongue! How nuts! #9 - Buddha’s Hand The scary Halloween prop hands pictured here are actually a type of fruit that is related to lemons and oranges. The catch is that they are citrons, which means although they have a citrusy flavor, they lack any pulp whatsoever, which may have people cheering for joy. Since this fruit doesn’t have “flesh” to feast on, you’re stuck just using this to make zest for flavor or for making marmalades. #8 - Jabuticaba This grape looking fruit grow directly on the bark of the tree which is super strange in the world of fruit trees. When you crack one of these bad boys open, you get the same sort of translucent flesh that would with a regular grape.

The fruit pictured here looks like a sun mated with a flower, and together they made a fruit. It looks absolutely beautiful, but a lot of people think that it isn’t worth the hassle and they use the “keys” to make lei wreaths instead. #5 - Rambutan The crazy looking fruit pictured here looks more like an anime character,rather than something that was edible. If you did find the courage to eat such a fruit as this, then you would be enjoying something that tastes a lot like a grape. Although it does look extremely rare and exotic, it is commonly found in Malaysia, Borneo, and Vietnam. #4 - Physalis Being a member of the Nightshade family, you might think that taking
