I am calling this as a rare fruit because this is a tropical fruit and I have seen them found only in some parts of India and people don't know much about this fruit too.
They are Palm fruits and they are grown on palm trees which grow about 30 to 40 feet in height.
These fruits when are unripe are having tender and soft seeds and they are sweet and delicious to eat!
When ripen the fruit becomes pulpy like mango and has three seeds in it and this fruit even after ripen is baked or just burnt on fire for sme time then cooled off!
The baked or burnt fruit tastes very delicious and very sweet in taste!
Have you ever tasted this fruit? I am sure most of the Indians also mustn't have tasted this fruit!

@oahuwriter , Yes, it is very juicy, creamy, pulpy, sweet with a addictive flavor! After roasting or baking it gives a wonderful flavor!

They are tropical fruits and they can be eaten when they are unripe and the picture you are seeing is after the fruit got ripened up! when unripened the the seeds are very sweet and tasty to eat and since the are grown in summer people use them as thirst quenchers!

These are palm fruits! In fact I think palm trees are seen in Philippines too and they bear these fruits, though other varieties of palms are common there! I hope yu can recognize the tree about which I am talking from the picture I am posting here!

This is a palm fruit and it is called as 'Taati' fruit in south India and 'Taal' in Bengal. The are very delicius fruits to consume. The unripe fruit is having seeds which are soft and watery and are good thirst quenchers! The picture shows the fifference between the unripe and ripened fruit!

@ShifaLk , I have tasted the fruit! When it is unripe, we get gel like material from seeds, when ripen it is like mango. When the seeds are discarded after eating they are germinated to grow the plant, if we remove them before the leaves com up then the root tastes wonderful after burning it!

I love this fruit. We get this in plenty in Bangalore in beginning of summer. We call it 'Taadkon' in Bihar and UP. Taad is for Palm tree and Kon means angle. It has three angles like a triangle.

Possibly you never have any palm trees in Australia and that is the reason you don't know these fruits dear @JudyEv !
But then when I did research I found that Australia is having about 50 palms which may not have origin in Australia and Palm fruit tree also one of them.
I think you need to do some research or searching to find this tree...here is the picture how this tree loks in Australia!
