I'd also like to mention Sapota.

I don't see it mentioned so maybe it's not lesser known, but jackfruit is amazing. SEA like most amazing fruit but have seen it more often in North America. Fresh, not the prepped and sauced vegan style.
Rambutan
Boysenberries
Maypops, which are a north american species of passionfruit. Obviously not a great hand fruit.
0: I have never heard of these! Do they taste the same or?
I wouldn't say exactly, but a similar profile. Like two different varieties of apple taste the same but different.
Jujubes. They're like a dryer sweeter small apple. They don't need a lot to grow where I am and there's hundreds per tree.
Persimmons. Have a full size tree about to drop maybe 40 pounds of them. And I have no idea what to do with that many.
So not in my area, but I recently discovered cloudberry jam, which is absolutely delicious. It's like a mix of citrus and strawberry.
Loquats! Its like eating a giant sweet grape
Arum is an incredbibly underrated veg too, with an amazing texture.
Marian plum. A bit too sour to eat on it's own but a spiced and preserved ones taste pretty damn good.
fresh figs - they make a tasty snack, and the flavour is mild and pleasant. i can understand some people not enjoying the texture though.
I got my own fig trees!
awesome! what do you do with them?
i like to munch on them and i love me some preserves, but other than that, i haven't tried much else. do you use them in cooking or baking?
Mostly eat em fresh, but I've used them to make a filling to biscuits a couple of times. I just feel bad cooking down smth so fresh lol. Feel like it should be consumed raw and instantly. But I like em in salads or grilled up too!
