What do you like: pineapple, watermelon, banana, mango, pomelo, jack-fruit, coconut, orange, longan. I like fruit everyday, one year ago I eat banana daily but can't find out the delicious banana right now I changed to pineapple, longan, etc. I like the fresh fruit also, many young man don't like directly eating they prefer juice, that mean we can't feeling the delicious & beautiful of some fruit. I think It's very interesting.

Wow, most of those fruits I've never even had. I don't know what a pomelo, jack-fruit or longan are. I like pineapple the best. Oranges are ok but pretty common and not exotic. I would be curious to try some of these fruits I've never heard of. I do not like bananas. I would say pineapple is my favorite, and coconut, though I never tasted fresh coconut, only the preserved, shredded kind.

That would be nice. Maybe someday I will, but I don't have the money to go or anyone to go with, so it would be in the distant future that I would go. It would be nice to taste fresh coconut though, and eat all those exotic foods. I have a friend who is Indian living in America, maybe she would know where to buy these foods here.

Why don't you make a visit to any part of south India you are bound to taste fresh coconut and also drink tender coconut water.

My vote goes to the mango. So many varieties, sizes, tastes, flavours - it's a crazy world. Mango season is just winding up in my country and I spent the last 2-3 months in 'mangoheaven'! You can never have too much of a mango. YOu can never feel too full. They smell great, are very easy to eat, create an atmosphere of fun in the stuffiest settings! Apart from the nutritional value, the varying levels of 'yumminess' makes the mango incomparable with any other fruit on the planet. Excuse me while I go looking for a mango now...all this talk has made me mango-hungry :)

I have never had a mango. I'm not even sure what they look like. I am sure I could get them somewhere but we don't really see mangoes much here in the states, or at least not in my home state (NJ) maybe in places like California or Florida but not up north so much. I am curious and want to eat a mango now, maybe I can find one somewhere if I call all the supermarkets in the area. When are mangos in season?

I was allergenic with mango before so I’m avoiding from any mango and the products of mango. It’s sad that I can not eat the so sweet and good fruit. Talking about tropical fruit, I now eat kiwi almost every day. The kiwi in the market is from New Zealand and very tasty. I sometimes put it into fruit salad or just use the fruit processor and have the juice.

I also love mangos!!! Opalina, I also live in NJ. You can find Mangos in most produce sections in the supermarket or got to a farmers market. All the supermarkets I've been to have them. They are pricey. They usually cost $1 each. They can be green with red sections. They are larger than apples and they are oval shaped. Try one...they are delicious. I have even picked a case up at Costco. The supermarkets should also have Mango juice. Also delicious. Enjoy!

Hi nqh, I prefer durian. It is the most delicious fruit you can ever had. That why they call it as a "King of Fruits". I can finish 3-4 durians in one go. But it is hard to get it here. Since durian is a seasonal fruits, you can have it only during that season. And the price for it also quite high especially at city.

Pineapple is the fruit of my choice.I love mangoes but they are available for only a few months.In south India we get to eat bananas regularly.The problem with pineapples is to remove it of its thorns and cut it properly and that is what holds me back.Eating the fruit has its own pleasure but now i have been reading that a glass of juice a day is good for our health.

My favorite of those listed is definitely watermelon. I love eating it as does most of my family. I like how cool and refreshing it is when the weather is so hot and humid. It helps relax me and my family as we sit and enjoy it together.

Hello Nqh, I am from Malaysia, it is a tropical country , hence we have plenty of tropical fruits grow in the country. The common fruits that can found through out the years are coconuts, banana, water melons and pineapple. There are some fruits that only bear fruits once or twice in a year, we called this as season fruits, which included mango, durian, rambutan and mangosteen. For me, I like season fruits a lot. My favorite fruits is durian and rambutan.

I love all kinds of fruit and to me it wouldn't hurt to at least try every kind of fruit at least once. I would have to say that out of the ones you have listed I prefer pineapple, but only because I have not tried pomelo, jack-fruit, or longan. What is pomelo, jack-fruit, and longan?

I prefer to eat the fruit instead of the juice too. My favourite will definitely be the king of fruit, the durian. I love the sweetness. I also like mango, rambutan, pineapple and banana. When it come to the fruit season, we can get a lot of them as most of my villagers have their own orchard. They give us the fruit for free.

I love banana as well, beside that i also like durian and longan. I pretty much like tropical fruit. I'm ok to eat as raw or juice also can. I drink orange juice everyday as my breakfast.
