14 Bizarre fruits from around the world

Tamarillo (Tree Tomato)

An egg-shaped fruit with a tart, astringent,  and pulpy flesh that you can scoop out with a spoon. The tamarillo is native to South America. I discovered it in the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador where it was where it blended with water and sugar and made into a juice. Where to find it: Well-stocked grocery stores and specialty food stores. Here in the Bay Area, Mollie Stones Market sells it.
