    Hi I have eaten at least 15 of the fruits you have mention in this video. As born and Lived in Ceylon which is now called state of Sri Lanka, I have been a fruit lover all my life, so are my children who have passed the fruit palate down to their children. In the past Ceylon used to be called ‘Garden of Eden’ for its variety of fruits, flowers and the greenery. Please explore fruits of Ceylon. Many Ceylonese do not know or appreciate the taste of the local fruits. Eg. we have 29 varieties of Bananas, and 15 varieties of mangoes. They are rear and exquisite. Local names: Divul - Wood apple (Limonia acidissima) , Nelli - Gooseberry (phyllanthus emblica), Rata Nelli-Star Gooseberry, Lavulu- Egg fruit ( Pouteria campechiana) , Veralu - Lanka Olives (Elaeocarpus serratus) different taste from Mediterranean Olives, Damson [(prunum) damascenum)], Madan – Black plum or Jamun the Indian name (Syzygium cumini), Dan – Lilly Pilly (Syzygium Caryophyllatum), Kaju – Cashew (Anacardium occidentale), Biling - (Averrhoa Bilimbi), ambarella- golden apples or jew plums (Spondias cytherea), Lovi - Batoko Plum (Flacourtia inermis), Uguressa - the Governor's Plum (Flacourtia indica)…. ect. Many of these fruits are also used in preparing Ayurveda medicines. I have 23 fruit trees in my garden. Today I found-out from your video that the 3 Monsterella trees/wines with lots of fruits one of the rear and exotic plant. I use the leaves to decorate church alter flower bowls. Thank you again for the video. 🤗

    In Mexico I had my first taste of the soursop, but they called it Guanabana. The most delicious fruit ever, tasting like candy! Also, the skin must almost rot before you can digg in for this wonderful sweetness. I find the inside most fascinating with the pure white lobs and many black pits. To me it looks like a sea anemone.
