8. Snake fruit
This Indonesian fruit has a very distinct appearance. Its outside is prickly like a cactus and, most notably, covered in what appears to be snakeskin. The fruit is about the size of a fig and grows in clusters of fifteen to forty fruits. Its edible inside has the texture of a garlic clove and tastes a bit like a crunchy pineapple.
