Prachi Rijhwani lists unusual fruits you need to try at least once

- Prachi Rijhwani

Fruits have been a part of our diet since time immemorial. We all have our go-to favourites such as apples, bananas, and oranges, but there's a whole world of exotic, rare fruits waiting to be discovered. These hidden treasures from the plant kingdom not only tantalise the taste buds but also offer a glimpse into the diversity of nature's bounty.

Here are some unusual fruits you must try at least once in your life.

JABUTICABA

Imagine plucking grapes from a tree! That's the magic of jabuticaba, a rare fruit native to Brazil. The fruit grows directly on the trunk and branches of the tree and, when ripe, it tastes like a combination of grapes and plums. It's a unique and delightful experience, one that's well worth trying if you ever find yourself in Brazil.
