Babaco

On my trip to Costa Rica, I discovered the Babaco fruit (also known as a “camu camu”) and loved it. In some countries, Babaco is called a “tree pineapple.” This fruit looks very similar to a pineapple, but its taste is more sour than sweet.

One of the most interesting things about the babaco is that it is a type of “loco” fruit. This means to get the fruit to taste great, you must eat it off the plant—not from a box.

Batuan

Also called “Batu,” the batuan is a type of fruit found in the Philippines. Although the Batuan tastes very similar to a lychee, this fruit is shaped differently and has a tough skin. The Batuan closely resembles the durian fruit in size, shape, and color.

It is used to make a type of wine, and is also used to make jam and jelly. This fruit has deep red flesh, a white covering, and brown seeds.

Bilimbi

Known as the “bird’s eye apple,” bilimbi is a small citrus fruit also found in Southeast Asia. Similar to a lychee, the bilimbi has a sweet, juicy flesh and its shape is like a pomelo.

The bilimbi is used to make preserves, jellies, and wine. It is found only in northern Thailand, Burma, and the Philippines. We can’t forget the fruit’s name is “bird’s eye” because of the appearance of the seeds. The bilimbi is usually grown near other trees to help prevent it from rotting.

Black Sapote

A true tropical delight, the black sapote is a beautifully sculptured fruit. The black sapote is usually spherical with a dark green skin, although some varieties are more deeply colored than others.

The flesh of the black sapote looks like it has a jelly consistency and is extremely sweet, often likened to that of a mango. This fruit has soft seeds that add an extra crunch to your dessert.

Blueberry

Blueberries are small fruits that grow on shrubs. The blueberry has deep-pink skin and is covered in glands and tiny hairs.

The fruit is excellent for baking and eating as a snack and it makes a wonderful addition to smoothies, muffins, pancakes, or yogurt. Blueberries can be frozen for future use or made into a dessert sauce by cooking them into syrup. Although blueberries are usually enjoyed fresh, they can also be dried thoroughly in the oven at a low temperature to preserve them for later use.

Brazil Nut

I found the term “Brazil nut” confusing. In my mind, the only thing I thought about was Brazil and nuts. Because of this, I called it a “brazil bean.” When I went to Brazil and saw what was called a “Brazil nut,” I realized that it was not related to a bean at all!

The Brazil nut is a fruit from the cashew family. It has beautiful purple skin that is covered in kernels. Inside this fruit is another kernel that looks like a cashew nut. The most important part of the Brazil nut is not its taste or looks, but its health benefits.

Breadfruit

The breadfruit is the world’s largest tree-grown fruit. It looks like a tan, round fruit with thick, green skin. You may have seen this fruit in Disney’s movie “Tarzan.” The yellowish or light-pink flesh inside of this fruit is starchy and can be eaten raw or cooked. Breadfruit tastes a little like potato with a unique flavor you will love!

Today, breadfruit is used to make many dishes and desserts including soups, tarts, pies, fritters, pancakes, waffles and ice cream. You can also add it to cereal or eat it as an ingredient in stir-fry dishes or mashed potatoes.

Bacuri Fruit

The bacuri fruit is part of the acai family of fruits. The fruit itself looks like a reddish-purple berry with white flesh inside. The bacuri fruit has a sweet, citrusy flavor and is a bit tangier than the acai.

You can eat the fruit whole or make juice out of it. Some people use the seeds to make a type of flour you can use to bake bread and cakes. The bacuri fruit grows in Southern Brazil, Paraguay, and Northern Argentina.

Biriba

The biriba fruit is also known as a “miracle fruit.” It originates in Central Africa and is also grown in Brazil and the Caribbean. You can find this fruit in many different colors including orange, yellow, red and purple.

The birsiba is a berry that grows on a tree native to Mozambique, Madagascar, Angola, Tanzania, Ghana and Puerto Rico. The flavor of the birsiba consists of both sweet and sour ingredients which make it an excellent addition to your diet for several reasons.

Beach Plum

Also called the “Pomelo,” the beach plum is a citrus fruit native to South Africa. The fruit is usually red or orange and has a thin, hard skin.

Although you may not have heard of it before, I bet you’ve tried it because there are few things more refreshing than a slice of fresh pomelo on a hot summer day for breakfast! The pomelo is also used in salads, desserts and is sometimes juiced instead of lemon.

Black Cherry

The black cherry is a small tree fruit that is native to Asia, America and Northern Europe. It has an average size, dark purple skin and fleshy, bright red seeds.

The black cherry tastes sweet with notes of citrus and has a texture similar to the plum. You can find the black cherry in fresh or frozen forms at your local grocery store. They are excellent in pies, preserves, sauces, jams, desserts and dessert sauces.

Brush Cherry

The brush cherry has a large, greenish-yellow skin with a small red area in the middle. The fruit has a sweet, tart and acidic flavor and is usually eaten fresh from the tree. When you pick this fruit, you want to make sure not to put it in your pocket or leave it lying on the ground for too long because it will rot.

You can use the brush cherry in pies, salads, sauces or add them to any kind of dessert. You can also make juice from it.

The blackberry is a small fruit that is green or brown in color. The fruit grows on a bush that looks like a small tree. Blackberries are sweet and tart, but can be bitter when over picked.

You might have heard about the benefits of blackberries for your health. Eating blackberries has been shown to lower blood pressure and fight cancer, but remember to eat them in moderation as they are high in sugar.

Beechnut

The Beech nut is also called a chestnut. The fruit has light brown skin and a bitter, slightly sweet flavor. The beech nut is usually eaten fresh, but can be cooked into soups and stews.

It is found in Slovakia and Hungary, but can be found in other parts of Central Europe.

Its flavor is considered to be one of the best of the European chestnuts. I use them a lot for baking, but you can use these too, in all kinds of cereals and cookies.

The black mulberry is a small fruit that looks like a blackberry with a white or yellowish flesh. The fruit is dark purple when ripe.

The black mulberry is not the same as the tomato, but rather it is related to varieties of the fig which contains no seeds. In ancient Rome, they were served with roasts and stews, or dried and ground into powder. You can use them in pies, jams and stewed fruits. You can also make juice out of this fruit in season or freeze them to preserve them throughout the winter months.

The Boysenberry was introduced by the Boy Scouts in 1972, as part of a Camping Essentials Kit.
