In case you were wondering, the Chinese bayberry, as it is commonly named, is sweet, very tart and it hides a single seed in the middle. The juice of Yangmei , known by the name of ‘Yumberry’ ,is being commercialized not only in Asia but in Eu as well.
杨梅树是一种常绿植物，它的果实圆润可口，呈紫红色。如果你从来没有到过亚洲，那有很大的可能从未品尝过这种外观非常漂亮的水果，因为它是这片大陆的特产，特别是中国。你可能会好奇，所以顺便提一下：杨梅正如它的名字一样普通贴切，既甜又酸，唯一的一颗籽核藏在果实中间。“杨百利”——作为中国一个知名的杨梅汁品牌，不仅亚洲畅销，在欧洲也很受欢迎。
2.The Marula nut or Jelly Plum2. 漆树坚果或“胶李”
The marula nut grows in South Africa in a medium-sized, large-crowned tree. The fruit is very appreciated in the area for its tart, flavored taste, but also as main ingredient in alcoholic drinks. It is used in the African died as an important nutritive element since thousands years, for its nutritive properties as well as its enjoyable taste. While the fresh fruit is very rich in Vitamin C (8 times more than the orange), the nut contains minerals and oleic acid. The marula oil can be a tasty option if ever cooking in Africa.漆树长于南非，尺寸中等，树冠却大，因风味独特的酸味倍受当地人喜爱，其果实还是酒精饮品的主要成分。漆树坚果富有营养的特性和另人愉快的口味，使它数千年以来一直是非洲人饮食中一种非常重要的营养要素。当它新鲜时维生素C含量非常丰富（是橙子的8倍还多），当它变成坚果时则含有许多矿物质和油酸。假如要在非洲做菜，漆树果油可是一种不可或缺的美味佐料。 3. The Sea Buckthorn or Sea Berries
3. 沙棘果或称“海莓”
Even though you have the greatest chances to find this plant in China, where 90 % of all world plantations are found, the sea buckthorn may be encountered on the sea coasts of Western Europe as well. The name of the plant tells a lot about it: this is a tree which grows around the seas because the salt in the air and in the soil has no effect on the sea berry but it stops other plants from growing around it. Furthermore, it possesses thorns which make harvesting difficult. The fruits are really acid and they can hardly be consumed as such. They are very tasty in jams, jellies, pies and juices.
虽然在中国——那里有占世界上90%的种植园，你发现这种植物的机会巨大，但是在西欧的滨海沿岸你也可能偶尔碰到一些。植物的名字已经透露了大量的信息：这种树生长在大海的附近，空气和土壤里的盐分对沙棘没有任何影响，但却阻止了其它植物生长在它周围。此外，它全身长刺，所以很难收获。果实很酸，难以消化。把它们作成果酱、果冻、水果馅饼和果汁，味道极其鲜美。
4.The Duku Fruits4. 龙贡果
The duku is a tropical fruit which can be found in the South-Eastern Asia and, especially in Malaysia. It cannot be exported because it doesn’t remain fresh for a long while and it starts blackening after a day from being collected. The fruit is small in size and it is covered by a thick skin. Once removed, you may enjoy the sweet-soured taste of this Exotic fruit. That is, if you just have the chance to get your hands on one!
龙贡果是一种热带水果，在东南亚常见，特别是在马来西亚。它不能出口，因为其保鲜期不长，采摘后一天就开始变黑。果小皮厚，剥开之后，你就能够享受这一酸甜口味的异国水果，但是你得有机会搞到一个。
5. The Cashew apple5. 酪梨苹果
The cashew apple grows in Brazil and it cannot be transported due to its fragility. The cashew (or caju) apple is actually a ‘fake fruit’, while the real one is at the base of the apple. Inside the cashew fruit there is a nut which, together with the cashew apple, is the reason for which this tree is planted. The sweet taste of the cashew fruit has a very specific, tropical flavor and its juice is considered very refreshing. The cashew nuts contain a toxin which is eliminated through frying.
酪梨苹果生长在巴西，因其果实易碎而不能运输。酪梨苹果（或腰果）实际上是一种“假果”，真正的果实其实长在苹果的尾部，与酪梨苹果长在一起的腰果果实内有一个坚果，这才是果树种植的原因。 酪梨苹果口味甜美，有种非常特殊热带风味，果汁非常新鲜。腰果坚果含有毒素，油炸后便会除掉。
6. The Yuzu6. 日本蜜柚
This is a citrus from Japan, China Tibet and Korea. It is an orange –greenish fruit with some interesting particularities. For example this one of a kind citrus may be planted in cold places where temperatures descend many degrees under 0. Another aspects is that Yuzu is not usually ate as it is, but rather used(itself or the juice) in order to aromatize certain dishes, in the same way as lemons.
这种柑橘产自日本、中国西藏和韩国。它是一种橙绿色的水果，有一些有趣的特质。例如，这种柑橘可以在零下很多度的寒冷地方种植。另外，这种柚子通常并不是用来吃掉，而是（蜜柚本身或汁液）用来增强某些菜肴的风味，跟柠檬的用法相同。
7. The Babaco7. 山木瓜
The Babaco has been planted in Ecuador a long time before the Europeans had discovered these lands. Nowadays, the plant can be found in New Zeeland and in The Middle East as well. It cannot bare extreme temperatures but it is though pretty tolerant. The fruits have an awesome aspect and the slice of the babaco is in the shape of a pentagon, which makes it very presentable. The fruits have no seeds whatsoever.
在欧洲人发现厄瓜多尔这片陆地以前，这里已经种植山木瓜很久了。今天，你也可以在新西兰和中东地区找到它们。虽然它不能忍受极端的气温，但对其他生长环境还是相当宽容的。山木瓜有着极佳的外观，果片呈五角形状，这让它看上去很别致。水果也没有任何种子。
8. The Medlar8. 欧楂
This fruit is characteristic mainly to the temperate parts of Europe. This is a strange kind of fruit because it is open at top showing its seeds and because it has to rotten before becoming eatable. The fully-grown fruit (to use a more delicate expression) should be soft, brown and with a specific aroma which it acquires only by ripening for a few weeks. This fruit was popular in the past when it was consumed by members of the high society at banquets.
欧楂果是欧洲温带地区的特色水果。这是一种奇怪的水果，奇怪之一是果实的顶端绽开露出种子，奇怪之二是还因其能吃之前就开始腐烂（译者注：这种水果就是初腐时吃）。完全成熟的水果（这里用了一种更文雅的表述）很软、棕色，有一种特殊的芳香，只有几周就能成熟。这种水果在过去很受欢迎，是上流社会的人们在宴会时经常食用的。
9. The Quince9. 榲桲
This Caucasian fruit is pear shaped, sour and astringent and too hard as to be eaten fresh. It has to be left to ripe for a few days. It can also be used in preparing sweets or drinks, because of the refined unique aroma they spread. In the Middle East, where this fruit may be encountered as well, quinces are used for preparing main dishes. These fruits are known in Europe since 900 years, and they are used in combination with apples for an explosion of flavors.
这种高家索的梨形水果，新鲜时食用酸涩生硬，所以要放上几天让其醇熟。因其散发出精致独特的芳香，它也被用来制作甜品或饮品。在中东，也会偶遇这种水果，常用其制作主菜。榲桲果在欧洲已经有900多年的历史，把它们与苹果放在一起食用果香溢。
10. The Cassabanana10. 香蕉瓜
The Cassabanana can be found in South America only. It is a fast-growing plant which requires a large space as it can reach 15 meters in height; the fruits are also pretty big. While the green fruit may be used as a vegetable, once the Cassabanana is fully grown, it gets a reddish tone on the skin and a beautiful light orange color in the interior. Its taste is sweet and similar to that of a…well… banana!
香蕉瓜你只能在南美洲才能找到。它是一种快速生长的植物，所需成长空间很大，茎干高度达15米，果实也相当大。果实绿的时候可以做为蔬菜，一旦香蕉瓜完全成熟，果皮色调变红，果肉是漂亮的淡黄色，味道甜美，很像... ... 告诉你吧... ...香蕉！
