9. Calamansi Lime - 1:21

8. Dogfruit - 2:10
While not possessing the most appetizing name the Dogfruit or Jengkol as it’s also known, is a species of flowering tree in the pea family. Native to southeast Asia, this tree can reach up to 85 feet or 26 meters tall. The tree produces large seeds which are actually the pods of the fruit.

7. Green banana - 3:27
Only found in tropical regions of the world is the green banana. No we are not talking about an unripe banana, these green bananas won’t turn yellow as they ripen which makes it harder to tell when they are ripe.
