It is commonly .known as chocolate vine, five-leaf chocolate vine, or five-leaf Akebia Quinata. This is a shrub that is native to Japan, China and Korea and invasive in the eastern United States.

This unusual fruit comes in three forms; white mulberry, common mulberry and silkworm mulberry. It is a fast-growing, small to medium-sized tree which goes 10 to 20 meters tall. It is generally a short-lived tree with a lifespan comparable to that of humans. There are some specimens known to be over 250 years old though.

For any other fruit, a brown or black interior indicates it has outlived its welcome. The fact is the opposite for the Black Sapote. The interior gets darker when the fruit is ready to eat.

Known as the red or Chinese date, Jujube is native to Southern Asia but has become popular around the world. The freshly harvested, as well as candied dried fruit, are often eaten as a snack. Smoked jujubes are consumed in Vietnam and are referred to as black jujubes. This plant has been introduced in Madagascar and grows as an invasive species in the western part of the island.
6. Jabuticaba
This is an unusual case of a fruit that grows directly on the trunk of the tree. The fruits can be eaten straight off the tree and grow to around 1.5 inches in diameter. Often, the fruit is used in a similar manner to grapes, which is why some parts of the world also have Jabuticaba wines and liqueurs.
7. Breadfruit
The interesting thing about the breadfruit is that it can be eaten in different stages of development. When the fruit is mature, it can be eaten raw and has a sweet and creamy taste, making it a good option for desserts. It also makes a good substitute for most starchy vegetables, like potatoes. The African breadfruit seed is a delicacy which is relished in South East Nigeria. The un-decorticated seeds may be roasted, de-hulled and eaten with palm kernel or coconut as a snack.
8. Ackee
This is another member of the soapberry family, much like the Longan and the lychee. However, caution is advised here as parts of the fruit can be poisonous, leading to vomiting, a coma or even death. The only edible part of the Ackee is the yellow flesh that surrounds the seeds. This part should also only be eaten when the Ackee fruit has turned red and split open.
9. Red bananas
Red bananas are a group of varieties of banana with reddish-purple skin. Some are smaller and plumper than the common Cavendish banana, others much larger. When ripe, raw red bananas have a flesh that is cream to light pink in color.
