As the weather is getting hotter, many tropical fruits are coming to the market. There were strange tropical fruits I saw for the first time when I went to buy fruits, so I asked the owner what the name of the tropical fruit was. Like the name "Rambutan?" I was curious about the taste of tropical fruits that looked unique.

So today, we're going to talk about tropical fruits, and we're going to talk about the characteristics and efficacy of tropical fruits.
1. Guava
It is a tropical fruit species that is produced in hot regions of Latin America, India, and China. Mainly imported varieties from Korea are pineapple guavaro Brazil, and have a texture that seems to be a combination of pears and bananas. It is rich in vitamins A, B, C, potassium, folic acid, and antioxidants. It prevents constipation, hemorrhoids, and gastroenteritis, and helps lose weight, drop blood sugar, and prevent cavities. In South America, undercooked guava is sometimes dipped in salt to make it sweeter.
2. Graviola
It is a tropical fruit species mainly produced in Colombia, Brazil, the Philippines, Venezuela, and Puerto Rico. It grows to 6.8kg and is rich in vitamin C, vitamin B1, and vitamin B2. It has recently been in the spotlight as a superfood, and is called a "gift from God" by natives and serves as a natural remedy. It's soft, but it's characterized by a greenish color with dense spines.
3. Durian
It is a tropical fruit named after Duri, which means thorn in Malaysian, and is native to Southeast Asia. It grows to about 30 to 40 centimeters and weighs between 1 to 5 kilograms. The color of the shell is green or brown, and there are various varieties from white to red inside. The hard shell is covered with sharp thorns, and the scent is intense and unpleasant. The pulp is sticky and soft, but it is a tropical fruit that is divided into likes and dislikes because of its scent.
4. Rambutan
It is a tropical fruit native to Malaysia, meaning 'fruit with hair'. It is the most common type of tropical fruit in Southeast Asia, and many countries grow it, and when it is ripe, it becomes red and yellow. It is about 2~4cm long and features a similar appearance to a chestnut. It looks like it has a lot of thorns, but it's fur, so it peels off easily when you put strength on your hands. It is characterized by being sweet and juicy. It is processed into jam, jelly, and canned food, and in Malaysia, seeds are also fried.
5. Rich
It is a tropical fruit cultivated in the subtropical regions of southern China and eastern India, characterized by a soft white transparent filling when peeled with red-brown color. It is rich in vitamin A to protect vision, improve blood vessel flow in the retina, and help clean blood vessels due to its high polyphenol content. It is said to be good for preventing skin and aging due to antioxidant action, and has excellent efficacy in diabetes, blood pressure, and arteriosclerosis. However, there is a "hypoglysine" component that inhibits glucose production and lowers sugar levels, so children who are hungry (low blood sugar) can rapidly drop blood sugar and threaten their health, so be careful about eating.
6. Mangoes
It is a tropical fruit type native to Thailand, the Philippines, and subtropical to tropical regions of Latin America, and has a long round shape and is characterized by yellow, red, and green depending on the country of origin. It is widely used in Korea thanks to its sweet and soft texture. Beta carotene 10 times more than bananas has a strong antioxidant effect, which is excellent for skin beauty and anti-aging. It also helps prevent breast cancer and prostate cancer. There are long and large seeds in the soft shell, so caution is required when cutting mangoes.

It is a tropical fruit native to Mexico and Central America, high in protein and fat and characterized by a soft and savory taste. It is rich in folic acid, which helps the health of the fetus and mother, and lowers single cholesterol levels, which can prevent stroke and heart disease. There is a yellow soft filling in the greenish shell, but you should be careful not to get hurt when cutting because there are round and hard seeds embedded.
8. Grapefruit (Grape Fruit)
It is a tropical fruit native to Barbados in the West Indies and is grown and exported in large quantities in Florida, the United States. It's called 'graff fruit' because the fruit sticks like a grape. It is often used as juice rather than eating fruits directly, and is rich in vitamin C, which strengthens the immune system and reduces inflammation. It contains folic acid, calcium, and vitamin B6, which helps prevent arteriosclerosis and osteoporosis. It is also popular as a diet food because of its fat decomposition effect.
9. Late Night Coconut
It is a tropical fruit species native to the Philippines, Indonesia, India, and Brazil, and played a major role in pollinating and eating isolated survivors due to its characteristics of growing on the coast. It features a hard round shell with brown fur, soft white flesh, and a huge amount of nectar. It is very rich in dietary fiber, which activates intestinal movement and helps improve and prevent constipation. It eliminates bad cholesterol in the entrance and is also effective in preventing bone diseases.
