3. Durian

In South Asia people call durian “king of fruits”. It’s a seasonal species, very rare and unique in many aspects. Durian originates from Malaysia and Indonesia. Some find the smell of the flesh disgusting. The chemicals that the fruit contains make durian smell unusual. Due to its awful scent the fruit is banned in public places in some certain countries. You cannot eat it outside if you are located in Japan, China, Thailand and Singapore. However, you might love the creamy and delicate fruity part of the species.

5. Rambutan

South East Asia is famous for the rambutan fruit. The fruit is quite exotic and looks unusual – there is pink hair on the outer shell. This is where the name of the fruit comes from – in Malaysia the word “rambut” means “hairs”. If you cut the fruit, you’ll find white fleshy part. Rambutan is rich in copper and can be consumed by people who want to increase the rate of white blood cells. The species contains the right amount of carbs and protein in order to help you combat infection as well as maintain healthy weight. It tastes sour and refreshing. Some say rambutan reminds grapes. The tree gives fruit in spring and autumn.
