Can you tell me about any lesser-known local fruits or vegetables in your area that you think more people should discover?

I gotta give it to mulberries, don’t get enough attention!

The buds of the flower Bauhinia variegata are both cooked amd used for pickles, spectacular stuff.

Water apples, or wax apple. Their name is pretty much self-explanatory in terms of the taste. Really refreshing in the tropics.

Was gonna say this! The texture is light but crunchy. I’d say the flavor is lightly sweet with a little hint of something pleasant. I don’t think they taste at all like apples, which frankly I don’t understand why anyone would eat.
