Aki
Aki, or bligia is delicious, has a pear-shaped with a red-yellow or orange peel. After full ripening, the fruit bursts, and creamy pulp with large glossy seeds comes out. These are the most dangerous exotic fruits in the world: unripe (unopened) fruits are highly toxic due to the high content of toxins. They can be eaten only after special processing, for example, prolonged boiling. Aki tastes like a walnut. In West Africa, soap is boiled from the peel of unripe fruits, and the flesh is used for fishing.

Where to try: USA (Hawaii), Jamaica, Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Australia.

Season: January to March and June to August.

Carambola (Starfruit, Kamrak, Ma Fyak, Carambola, Star-fruit).

“Star of the Tropics” - in the context of form, we represent an asterisk.

The fruit with an edible peel is eaten whole (inside there are small seeds). The main advantage is a pleasant smell and juiciness. The taste is not particularly distinguished by anything - slightly sweet or sweet and sour, somewhat reminiscent of the taste of an apple. Sufficiently juicy fruit and perfectly quenches thirst.

Sold all year round.

It is not recommended to consume Carambola in people with severe renal failure.

Dragon Eye (pitahaya, pitaya, moon yang, dragon fruit, pitaya).

These are the fruits of a cactus. Dragon Eye - Russian version of the name of this fruit. International name - Dragon Fruit or Pitahaya.

Pretty large, oblong fruits (palm-sized) red, pink or yellow in color. Inside, the flesh is white or red, dotted with small black bones. The pulp is very tender, juicy, slightly sweet, with an unexpressed taste. It is convenient to eat with a spoon, scooping up the flesh from a fruit cut in half. Fruits with red and white pulp are different varieties, and not different degrees of maturity. Pitahaya with red pulp is considered sweeter.

Dragon's eye is useful for stomach pain, diabetes, or other endocrine disease.

Harvesting seasons are all year round.

Lychee (Litchi, Chinese plum, Litchi).

The round fruit is red, up to 4 cm in diameter. Wonderful, delicious fruit. It has one bone in the middle. It is similar to Longon in form, texture and stone, but with a more saturated taste and aroma. Very juicy, sweet, sometimes with sourness. The peel is easily separated from the white-transparent pulp.

Unfortunately, fresh Lychee can not be consumed all year round: the Lychee harvest season begins in May and lasts until the end of July. The rest of the year it is almost impossible to find.

In the off-season in Asia, you can buy canned Lychee in jars or plastic bags in your own juice or coconut milk.

Ripe fruits are stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. You can freeze and store peeled fruits in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Lychee contains a lot of carbohydrates, pectin, potassium, magnesium, and vitamin C. A very high content of nicotinic acid - vitamin PP, which actively prevents the development of atherosclerosis. The widespread prevalence of Lychees in Southeast Asia is believed to be the cause of low levels of atherosclerosis in this region.

Harvest season: from May to October.

They are cleaned by cutting the skin with a knife, or without using a knife, as if twisting the fruit in the middle.
