Want to treat your taste buds to something different? Maybe you’re just a curious foodie looking for something new. Have you tried tropical fruits? Not only are these absolute wonders packed to the brim with numerous health benefits but you can be sure you wouldn’t forget their tastes in a jiffy. Wondering where to start? Here are five popular tropical fruits that you won’t regret checking out if you haven’t.

Five Popular Tropical Fruits For Your Taste Buds

• Mango

This tropical stone fruit, the size of grapefruit, is not known as the “king of fruits” for no reason. One bite of its edible, delicious flesh will not only convince you but leave you craving for more. Mangoes originated from Southern Asia but are now grown all around the world. Its incredibly juicy and sweet nature makes it fit in a wide range of dishes like desserts, smoothies, and salads. Mangoes are not only low in calories but they also contain vitamins, minerals, and dietary fibers.

• Pineapple

Talking about juicy, delicious, nutritious, and maybe even a little addictive? These are all properties of the tropical pineapple fruit. Made of a strong, spiky outer skin with sweet edible insides, pineapples are a treasure. Pineapples are so versatile, they taste well with a lot of other foods (they even taste amazing when eaten with pizza). They contain vitamins and are good for healthy skin, bones, and teeth.

• Papaya

Also called pawpaws, papayas are juicy fruits that are native to South and Central America. They are rich sources of many health-beneficial nutrients including antioxidants like carotenes and flavonoids, vitamins B and C, fibers, and minerals. They have a sweet, musky flavor and you can eat them as fruits, in salads, or blend them as smoothies.

• Dragonfruit

Dragonfruits are amazing, seemingly “otherworldly” tropicals with different varieties of colors. The dark-colored varieties have stronger flavors than the white varieties. Abundant in fibers, iron, and antioxidants, the dragonfruit is guaranteed to be a new, enjoyable experience.

• Guava

Guavas are small to medium-sized, pink-fleshed fruits that are sure to be everything you didn’t expect them to be. Apart from containing the number of fibres in a pineapple and the quantity of vitamin C in an orange in multiples of 3 and 4 among other important nutrients, guavas are quite delicious and they contain numerous, edible seeds.
