15 Exotic Fruits That Asians LOVE 

I love durian and dragon fruit and the seeds of the dragon fruit is edible. No spitting needed. I have some dragon fruit growing in my back yard and the flesh is reddish purple instead of the common white flesh. Can't wait to harvest soon.

IM ASIAN AND I EAT ALL OF THOSE FRUITS AND IM PROUD OF IT ♡W♡

I've seen a few exotic fruit videos, but I'd love an exotic vegetable video

Yes I'm glad you have like 8 channels and busy all the time, but your videos are the one I always look forward to doesn't matter which channel you upload on haha. keep doing what you doing and never stop!

I briefly dated a guy who was involved in a mangosteen juice pyramid scheme (Xango). He attempted to bring me on board, then got upset when I explained to him that it is a common asian fruit...then left for the market and brought back some canned and fresh mangosteens...because I am delightfully tactful that way. ;-)

I absolutely LOVE durian and whenever I brought durian candy to school my friends would be afraid to go near me. I'm also a fan of the mangosteen and I didn't know it was from my homeland Indonesia I always thought it was from Thailand.

7:24 "If that won't kill ya, the smell will" LOL

Lol what you call wax apple is what we Jamaicans call Otaheiti apple and we also roasted and fry (sometimes boil) breadfruit and eat it anytime of the day 😋😂

I love all tropical fruit. My favorites of course are lychees, starfruit, guava, and Dragon fruit. Yum! 😋

5:10 - 5:30 some people that have trypophobia might now want to see it... just maybe .

Pomello: You really can't tell when you've found a nice juicy one. Many are dry and tasteless. If I want a Pomello I go to market where they've taken the fruit out of the rind and wrapped it in plastic. Now you know what you're getting. Wax apple: Those look a variety of what we call rose apples. I'm not a huge fan, but they are popular with children. star fruit: There is a starfruit tree at the school where I teach. As soon as this crop is ripe i plan on picking some. They grow Longans in a small town on the way to Chiang Mai. They are extremely succulent and very popular. Guavas: To me these are fairly tasteless. The ones here are not pink. Persimmon: This is one I don't particularly care for. Mangosteen: is my favorite Thai fruit! Too bad they don't grow these in the U.S. Dragon fruit: I can take or leave it. I once got a glass of dragon fruit juice in Bangkok. Frankly it was too "earthy" for my tastes. Rambutan: Very popular. Even after many years I STILL can't pronounce it correctly in Thai! In Thai it is called เงาะ, which is SUPPOSED to be pronounced ngaw. Jackfruit: I have two jackfruit trees in my yard. Personally I find them to be too sweet. Durrian: No how. No way.

Many of these fruits were transported to the Caribbean islands during the colonial period, so they’re common there too. I personally love the sapodilla and wax apple.

You are the Master if all RU-vid Channels😂So enjoyable to watch!!

Many of these fruits are also popular in the Caribbean the : the wax apple (aka pomerac in Trinidad), guava, breadfruit, star fruit (aka five fingers in Trinidad), sappodilla.

I am Chinese and all of the foods that you mention in this video I have ate it all and I have been falling in love with it. Espically the durian, the dragon eye fruit and dragon fruit

There are two different types of persimmon though. Astringent (heart shaped) you eat soft. Non-astringent (rounded tomato shaped) you eat while it's still hard.

Jackfruits tastes exactly like Juicy fruit gum

Available in America: pomelo star fruit which is nearly flavorless Logan waxberry at large city Asian markets guava persimmon mangosteen sapodilla breadfruit dragon fruit rambutan jackfruit durian. No there are no commas because everytime I try to voice type A, it types, Karma. I must voice type 100% of the time so just pay no attention to the lack of commas.

I love chiku and pomelo. You have to try the pomelos fromTambun, in Ipoh, Malaysia Mike. No bitterness at all- so juicy, sweet and fragrant. Also, the way you say "longan" is so cute 😁

I honestly love learning about things people do or like in other parts of the world I just generally love learning about different cultures

durian is the most popular malaysian delicacy, the fruit is made into a lot of food like fritters, ice cream, chips and SO MUCH MORE. it's even made into a condom 😂😂 bet y'all didn't know that

Nobody mentions Jackfruit seeds. It is edible. Just boiled it then the meat inside is soft and fluffy. It is very filling. Probably there are more calories in the seeds.

You are braver than I am. The stories of the Durion are enough to deter me! 😂

I live in Florida and I have many of those fruits growing in my backyard because I loved buying exotic fruit trees from roadside sellers.

"And finally, my enemy, the durian." 💀😂

I love most of these star fruit, dragon fruit, guava...but the ones I’ve never heard of sound good like those berries...the wax apples. Have to try durian, bread fruit...that yogurt one....

Clarification: the dragon eye is great because the flesh is smooth and easy to chew as well as how sweet and juicy it is. The lychee tastes the same but the flesh near the core is bitter and only ripe ones are sweet. Unripe ones are sour. The rambutan is a hairy version of the lychee but the seed has an easily peel able skin so when you try to eat the flesh some skin will get stuck to it but the flesh is one of the best as it is like a fruit punch , not only sweet but sweet and sour.

I've honestly never heard of half of those fruits. In central Europe we can get pomelo and kaki/sharon/persimmon (yes, we have 3 names for it) every winter, sometimes lychee, pitahaya (dragon fruit), carambola (star fruit) and guava. We managed to get canned rambutan once. As we talk about fruits, I'm hunting cherimoya for few years now. It tastes like vanilla pudding!

we have most of these in the Caribbean..love them all

Star fruits are native to South America. They were IMPORTED to Asia because they are mostly similar in weather conditions, just like guavas and the jackfruit. Plus, south americans call the draonfruit "pitaya" or "mandacaru", depending on the region you are, "mandacaru" being primarily the brazilian way to refer to this fruit.

I can’t resist purchasing these at the grocery story. When i visit the Asian market, mainly for candies and sugary treats. I can’t help but purchase mango steen each time Durian Dragon Fruit * Breadfruit * Jackfruit Mango Steen Starfruits Guava Persimmon Mainly only time I get these would be when relatives visit from Jamaica. I always beg for these along with Jamaican apple.

I say lychee to mike like you Your not alone

Funny, none of these were "exotic" to me... but yeah, I'm half Asian & my mom had all of these fruits in the house. But that Durian...the smell I've gotten used to over the years.. yet sometimes it throws me for a loop. Still tasty to me though.

Love, love the video.i love every single fruit you described in the video.

I grew up eating star fruit and they were lovely treats my mother would get me sometimes (I live in northern BC, Canada). In the past decade I've also been introduced to the pomelo and it's a nice, citric fruit my family has once in a while.

I recently visited Borneo, and came across two fruit I had never seen before: terap and cembadak. They were absolutely delicious. Of course, I had my servings of durian, yummy!

Jackfruit is the best, it tastes the best, if you like the juicyfruit bubblegum you are going to Love the jackfruit. Sweetsop/sugar-apple and naseberry/sapodilla are very good also. I recommend that you roast your breadfruit first then cut it in wedges then fry it until the sides are golden brown and crispy, awesome with eggs or any saute meat or fish.

Did he just said about the Durian its like "chewing on a gym sock?" 🤣

The lotus fruit creeped the crap out of it. I felt so uncomfortable and had to scroll down during that part. *shudder*

My teacher introduced me to your videos. Can't get enough

Dear mike, I know you are really busy with all these channels, but on youtube, the only videos that I waite for is yours. So pls upload faster, specially on mikey chen and strictly dumpling. I need to watch your videos everyday. you are awesome man.

Dude you have a misconception about the durian. Some people think the durian smells good like me, but some people hate the smell. The rambutan and the lychee and the dragon eye thing all tastes great.

I am so amazed. I have a few of the fruits growing in my yard! Let's see, pomelo, starfruit, lychee, breadfruit . . .

We grow some of these in Jamaica! 😍 Love them all, would love to try out other I haven't tried... but the Durian is questionable! Lol

6:06 omg the fruit next to the dragon fruit in the left....I got what those are called but dang I love those so much...we have a tree in the Philippines like that omg they are sooo good I've eaten 90% of the fruits...

I love them all, Mike. Shall I send you some bread fruit chips? They're to die for

I'd love to give the dragon fruit a try. It sound delicious!

In Malaysia we call the Dragon Eye fruit "mata kucing" which translates to "Cat's Eye".. so good 👍

Wax apple helps people to lose weight. (At least according to my asian country Philippines) Fun fact! I love fruits so much! This video brings back memories of my childhood. Thank you so much for sharing this video Mike! We appreciate you!❤️❤️

I love all of these fruits! I miss some of them because it's hard to find here in California.

in indonesia we called longan as "mata kucing" means cat's eye because when you open it, the seed will reflect light like cat's eye

I love a bunch of these, durians (I love the smell too), Dragon Fruit, Chom Chom, and mostly Mangosteen

I've only had persimmons and Jack fruit, but I love them both!

I love durain. Especially if you freeze them

Team LEE-chee for the win

I can't live without litchis! Now that it's becoming summer I can eat them every day.

I love Asian food Lol I'm Asian but still it's great!good job Chen!Keep it up!

Yummmmmm pomelo and mangosteen are the best!!!!!!

I smiled when you said Rambutan looked like a hairy Litschi, because Rambutan in Germany is named "Hairy Litschi". ^^

The wax apples are known as Otaheitee apple in the western caribbean

i love pomelo, in suzhou it is so cheap and best waxberries i have had were in ninghai. I can't find,any decent ones anywhere else

The wax apple (or tambis as we'd call it here in the Philippines) brings a lot of memories from when every afternoon when I was like below the age of 7, after my nap time, my grandfather would o always bring me to the farm or like to these woods like area in our place and loadsss of those would either be on the ground or on trees. My grandfather would usually just pick like A LOT and then eat it an he'd offer some to me as well, but then my mom would get too mad if he gave me too much

My gran used to give me star fruit all the time when I was young. I love it so much but can't find it anywhere as an adult. I had it once 2 years ago and it took me way back. I've searched all the Asian grocery stores and my boyfriend is Chinese. Neither of us can source it in Glasgow. I'll find it one day and I'll be happy once again.

I once had crispy frozen durian spring rolls in Malaysia. Hot and crispy on the outside, but frozen on the inside. They were bizarrely delicious and addictive.

Im from singapore and the durian basically is our country! We have domes that looks like durians and durians are sold everywhere. The first time you eat it, you wont like it but when i ate it a few days later it became my favourite fruit!

We have something similar to the "water apple" in Jamaica called "Otaheite apple." They are the only kinds of apples I like because they are sweet and have a nice texture. ^_^

i can walk outside and get a bread fruit or dilly right now. my cousin had star apples but my grandmother has guavas. I've eatten more fruits on this list than i expected. i really didn't name them all. wow. thanks for uploading

Love all the fruits but love the dragon fruit the most never tried the wax apple looks good too

You need to try Taiwan sugar apple, they also created one without seeds.

龍眼 is great! Speaking as an Asian, everything except Pomeloes is good

I love pomelo, logans, guavas, persimmons, dragonfruit, and jackfruit

I used to love starfruit but because the taste is all over the place like you said I stopped eating it. My college campus has a persimmon tree. I need to try the breadfruit!

If you semi-freez durian before you eat it, it tastes like icecream and dosn't smell that bad.

since I live in Malaysia and most of the fruits in the video my family have them growing in our backyards. fried breadfruit is just my fave even tho i hate getting the sticky sap all over my good knifes when i cut it open.

Ur comment about how durian should b made into war weapons, haha! I realized that I've tried majority of these fruits, but there are still some that I have not tried yet, such as wax berries and apples, mangosteens, and lotus fruits

chikoo is awesome! especially in milkshakes!

I'm I the only one that LOVES the smell and taste of durian? I just love the smell of it, and the taste too!

I've tried star fruit, percemin, and breadfruit, out of all these fruits

they all look glorious!!!!!!!!!!

Want o try some of these love Powells, stardust and dragon fruit.

Never seen pommelo sold peeled, but love longan, lychee, rambutan...guava is too gritty. Asian permission is SO much better than American. Never seen mangosteen for sale. The sapodilla I got wasn't ripe. Love lotus seed paste. Never seen breadfruit offered for sale in the US, either, but dragonfruit? I FREAKING LOVE DRAGONFRUIT! I have a few plants, too. I planted a narrow wedge and got hundreds of seedlings. I've only had canned jackfruit. And durian? Uh...OMG. And somehow, I keep falling for it. There are different types of carambola (star fruit), one is sweet, the other is sour and known as pickle fruit. I've had both, and planted seeds from one and got a lovely little tree.

I love, love, love ALL OF THEMMMMMMM!!!!!!! You forgot mangoes????????? I just love eating fruits when I go back to Bangladesh. Will be going during this winter after 20 years!!! I'm dying to eat all the seasonal winter fruits!!!!!!! I wish fruits weren't so expensive here in the states!!!! Specially all the Asian fruits!!!! :-(

Love Longans, Mangosteens and Rambutans, can't get close enough to a Durian to have ever tried it, have always wanted to try a dragonfruit, but never have. Also, rind is pronounced with a long i, not a short one.

I love so many of these

*realizes how many of these fruits I’ve had and liked* *starts to question what I’ve done with my life* *shoves more of these fruits in my mouth* This is what I thought while watching and after watching .

waxed apples AHAHAHAHA, you know....we have actual names for them, Jambu. I also like Langsat, one of my fav fruit growing up.

Quite a few of these can be found where I live either growing wild or in our neighborhood backyards. And we don't even know the actual names of these fruits so it's funny that I learned the 'mountain apples' that I love so much and literally, do pick off a mountain were called ' Wax Apples' , I feel like how after I learned that product scanners only scanned the spaces between the black lines. Absolutely Shook! Even worse is that I've been calling that 'Ci-coo(?)' fruit, Chi-co fruits my whole life , and called anything resembling a grapefruit or lychee exactly that. So, I guess everyday I learn something new! :)

Alot of these fruits are also found in the Caribbean.

where i live i dont have access to mangosteen and the rest im missing out. Rambutan are so yummy the ones ive eaten are so sweet. but yeah you're right its not as juicy as lychee and longnan for sure! dragon fruit is also nice i find one half of it definitely very filling lol. 😗

I say 'lie-chee'

Pomelo is my favorite 😍😍

There's a fruit in the Philippines called lansones. Looks like a long an but it's skin is velvety smooth. Inside looks & texture is the same except in has smaller to no seeds. There's also lumboy, which is the same size & meat texture as grapes. The skin looks like the black purple color of eggplant. It has a large seed in it, flesh is deep purple to dark fuchsia. Can be dried like raisin. Does anyone else know if lumboy trees grow all over Philippines & other countries?

I like that was berry and longans they taste really good

Love apples, dragon eye? They look good. Dragon fruit ice cream do you know how to make?

the chiku reminds me a pawpaw fruit looks very similar

Is the wax apple similar to the Hawaiian mountain apple. It looks similar. If it is. I would enjoy eating them.

We have a fruit called ohi’a’ai that grows in the mountains. It kind of looks like that wax apple.

My grandma's backyard has persimmons and the season was just over

I love lichis. I eat 100 a day in seasons

Are wax apples the same or similar to the mountain apples in Hawaii?
