There is a melon I had in China called Durian that smells like rotty old socks (and has been known to clear a room) but was delicious !

Not on the list, but if you’ve never had one you should try green persimmons.

I could not get to the last ones but I have had passion fruit. I thought it was yucky but my family loved it. I have not eaten mangosteen but have had the juice. It was ok

Some of these may be delicious but t me a big part of eating is what the food looks like.

Sorry about that. I misread and for some crazy reason, I thought it said 25. If you have not eaten a green persimmon, do so! Yummy!

I’ve had purple sweet potato, but it in a cake made by a co-worker from the Philippines. It was a really cool color and tasted great.
I’ve had jackfruit and it was a little “musty” tasting to my palate.
The durian I couldn’t even get near because of the way it smelled. Like a sweaty gym that hadn’t been cleaned EVER.
Dragon fruit is a bit too bland for me.
Sweetsop is really good and has a consistency like custard. It tastes kind of like pineapple.

I did try a dragon fruit. It was ok. Apple ish in taste.

Durian fruit doesn’t taste TOO bad. Once you can get past the ‘puke’ smell.

Dragon fruit is excellent.
We were in Thailand last year and a fresh fruit bowel brought to our room every evening. Everything else I knew, but Dragon fruit was a real treat.

I've tried the Asian ones. Rambutan looks scary, but tastes great. Star fruit, jackfruit and dragonfruit are also really good. Durian smells pretty bad, but it tastes OK. Definitely an acquired taste that I've never really acquired - though my Singaporean wife loves it.
The only one of these you can really find quality versions of in the US is jackfruit - grown in Mexico. The others can only be found canned, frozen, or just plain withered.

I’ve had ramutan that was canned in syrup. Eaten pummelo many times. Drankangosteen juice.
Mangosteen juice is excellent.
Ramutan is okay.
Pummelo I prefer to grapefruit. Has a very floral taste.
