Jackfruit
Jackfruit, native of southwest India, can now be found growing in countries around the world. Despite its strange exterior, the flesh of a jackfruit is tender. It has gained popularity in the United States because its hearty texture and mild-taste make it a great meat substitute for vegetarians. In fact, it's often used to make vegetarian/vegan-friendly pulled "pork." This fruit is also filled with essential vitamins and minerals, so definitely give it a try.
