Papaya and coconut

Papaya
A melon like fruit enclosed in a thin skin that varies in color from green to orange to rose. The flesh is bright orange or pinkish.
Papayas are a rich source of vitamin A and C.
Passionfruit
An egg-shaped fruit that is also called a purple granadilla, the passion fruit has a brittle, wrinkled purple-brown rind enclosing flesh-covered seeds.
Taste: Intensely aromatic, like guava.
Milk Fruit
Milk fruit is available only in Cambodia and Vietnam. The underbelly of the leaf is a greenish purple hue, while the top is a deep green.
Taste: The creamy white flesh tastes juicy and sweet.
Pomelo
The size of a decent melon. The peel is sliced off in two movements with a very sharp knife. Pinkish pulp containing many large seeds.
Taste: Less bitter than the European variety; even a bit sweet. Nice!
Coconut
Most coconuts are not used for eating, but rather drinking only. Available from street hawkers and often in restaurants.
Taste: The drink tastes great, is very refreshing, and healthy!
