Can you tell me about any lesser-known local fruits or vegetables in your area that you think more people should discover? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Mangosteens are the Best Fruit.

The ones you can get here are golfball-sized and eye-wateringly expensive - when I was in Singapore they were enormous and everywhere.

I want a mangosteen now.

I hear you. The rare occasion I'm in Singapore I will buy a whole bag and devour them all over a few days.

And when I see them where I am (also often golf ball sized), I message all my SEA friends with the location and price so they can descend like a flock of seagulls.
