Thailand Fuzzy Fruit
Fuzzy fruit, it is always a colorful treat to walk through the food market in Thailand; you never know why the market is located where it is located
Mamon Chino is the Spanish name for that redhaired fuzzy fruit I was eating in Panama. You actually suck on the seed inside and eventually spit it out and discard the rest of the plant. Actually tastes pretty good, though an acquired taste. A little like chewing gum or something - other people are leaving trails of those strawberry looking things strewn across your path.

the one on the Right is Rambutan, thats the red hairy looking thing. it tastes ok but I would never buy it, it has just a little pulp around its seed, ok if its free or plucked from a tree. 5 seconds and spit the seed
the ones on the left are pink with short green leaves, thats the dragon fruit, also called pitaya, its a type of cactus fruit. never tried it
They grow on Cactus like trees
