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)

Water apples, or wax apple. Their name is pretty much self-explanatory in terms of the taste. Really refreshing in the tropics.

Was gonna say this! The texture is light but crunchy. I'd say the flavor is lightly sweet with a little hint of something pleasant. I don't think they taste at all like apples, which frankly I don't understand why anyone would eat.
