You have surely never eaten these wild fruits; see how many you recognize

The world is vast and full of wonders; just because we have never seen something does not mean it does not exist. Just as, besides the apples, bananas and pears we commonly see, there are many delicious fruits we have never even heard of, and they exist somewhere. See how many you have eaten! Let us take a look together at several rare fruits:

1) Cat's Intestine Fruit

Cat's Intestine Fruit is also called Cat's Feces Melon, and is also known as the Shennongjia Wild Banana.

Quite a few friends may find that this plant is not only ugly on the outside but also has an "inside" like a worm, making it unappealing; however, what the editor wants to tell you is that although Cat's Intestine Fruit looks unpleasant, the edible value of its fruit is very high.

2) Kiwano

Kiwano (Cucumis metuliferus), also known as African horned cucumber, African cucumber, horned melon, Martian fruit, fire melon, African honeydew.

The skin of the kiwano fruit is very hard, and it has raised spiky protrusions, with an uneven surface. But the taste is truly excellent; the inside of the fruit is similar to the inside of a cucumber, both gelatinous, and it tastes very fresh and sweet.

3) Hedgehog Jujube

Hedgehog Jujube. It belongs to the Rhamnaceae family and the genus Hovenia, and is in the same family as jujube and sour jujube.

What we eat as Hedgehog Jujube is actually not its fruit, but its thick, fleshy fruit stalk. Its true fruit is spherical, as large as a pea, hard and dry; if the fruit is cut open, 3 small chambers can be seen inside, each containing 1 seed. Every late autumn, when Hedgehog Jujube ripens, you only need to shake the tree hard and the Hedgehog Jujube will fall like rain. Local farmers also often pick them in strings, dry them in the shade, and then take them to the market to sell, just like selling sour willow in some areas, and they are extremely popular with children.

4) Bitter Gourd

Bitter gourd? No, no, no, this is called Bitter Gourd, also called Hongniang, and it is relatively common in the Jiangnan area. Although it looks very much like bitter gourd, its taste is completely opposite to that of bitter gourd. The length of Bitter Gourd also does not exceed 10 cm, and its taste is also very sweet and fragrant.

5) Golden Fruit

Golden Fruit is originally an ornamental plant native to South America. Because its shape is golden yellow and it looks like nipplefruit, it is very cute and pleasing to the eye, and it also symbolizes beauty, high fortune, five generations under one roof, and auspiciousness.
