2. African Cucumber
The African cucumber —
or horned melon, as it is also
known — is perhaps one of the
world's most beautiful fruits. It is
bright orange on the outside with
a green and yellow interior, which
forms a geometric design with its
seeds. Its flavor has been
compared to cucumbers and
zucchinis, which the fruit
resembles, but also bananas and
lemons. While native to Africa,
horned melons are now grown in
California, Chile, Australia, and
New Zealand.

3. Chayote
While the chayote is
technically a fruit, it is often
cooked like a vegetable. It is
compared to a potato or a
cucumber and can be boiled,
fried, baked, or pickled. The
plant is native to Mexico and
Central America, but locals in
Australia and New Zealand
grow chayotes in their
gardens

4. Guanabana
The guanabana, or
soursop, is native to Central
and South America but is
currently grown in Asia. Large
inedible seeds make its white
pulp difficult to eat. It's worth
eating if you like pineapples
or strawberries, though,
because the guanabana's
flavor has been compared to
those two fruits.

5. Gai Lan
Gai Lan is also
known as Chinese
broccoli. While it
doesn't have florets,
the flavor is similar to
broccoli, although Gai
Lan is slightly more
bitter. The green
leaves and stalks are
often stir-fried or
boiled.

6. Romanescu
The romanescu
looks like a lime-green
cauliflower gone very, very
wrong. However, this
vegetable, which hails
from Italy, tastes exactly
like your average
cauliflower and can be
substituted for the plainer
looking veggie in most
recipes.

7. Poha Berry
Orange poha
berries are protected by
green leaves, which
grow down around the
fruit, almost
encapsulating the
individual berries. They
are described as sweet
and tart and have a thin
waxy skin.
