Fruits that you wont eat

I love all kinds of fruit and I'm not a picky eater too. But I've known some people who doesn't like a certain fruit. Like one of my friends doesn't eat a coconut or pineapple, even grapes. Sometimes I can't understand since these fruits tastes awesome. But she will complain about the smell of some fruits and just can't take it. So how about you guys? Any fruits you don't like? Or just don't smell right to you?

Oooh I love durian :) I like the milky taste of it as long as its picked right. Some durians have this bitter after taste though.

it was most probably the one with "the bitter after taste" variety of durian that gave me this bad first experience. the very first time i tasted durian it was bitter and tasted just awful but i love durian candies.

I don't like durian fruit too, but I still able to eat it when someone offer me and I could not reject it. but if durian was turn into other form such as drink or juice or candy, I would love to enjoy it

I love fruits but I am not fond of guyabano. Not that I don't eat it but the taste just doesn't appeal to me.

Really? I love guyabano, I just don't like how the texture is so like gummy thing but I love its sourness and sweetness. Also for redvakaurvaki, this is what a guyabano looks like: http://www.myamazingearth.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/img57721tp.jpg

thanks machatago for sharing the picture for redvakaurvaki. It's true, most people and friends I know love guyabano and wonder why I cannot appreciate it very much I think it's due to its partly sour flavor.

In the Philippines, there are actually lots of fruits that are strange to other cultures. Some of them I don't actually eat or does not enjoy eating. One is durina. Although, some considers this as very delicious, to me it does not taste like fruit. It taste like more of a dish. Hahaha! Other fruits that I don't enjoy eating are camachile (do you know this?), bignay (small rounded red berries that taste so sour but very rich in vitamin C), mabulo (it looks like hairy apple in color and shape although is is rounder and flatter but unlike apple it is not crunchy but soft to the taste and sticks to the tongue). I also don't enjoy balimbing (star-fruits). They are just sour and with some sweetness and watery and nothing more so I am bored with this fruit. One fruit that I don't really eat is Chesa. I don't how if I spelled the name correctly but it is a wild crafted fruit. It is green but turns deep yellow when ripe. But sorry I don't eat this fruit although is is said to be very rich in Vitamin A and lot more because it is so messy on the mouth. Because of the soft texture, your whole mouth including your tongue and teeth will be yellowish and besides it is like eating a sh!t. (Sorry for the word but that is how I feel about this fruit.) Aother fruit that does not appeal to me is macopa. It bears a lot of its heart-shaped fruits that become beautiful red when ripe but the taste of the fruit is just too boring. It is just like eating cotton with some sugar.

Actually I'm not really a picky eater either and right off the top of my head I cannot think of any fruit that I don't like. I love strawberries and watermelon and grapes and peaches and even those fruits that might be considered to be vegetables as well like avocadoes and tomatoes. Now my daughter is one of those people that does have some fruits that she won't eat. The majority of the fruits that she will not eat are the melon fruits. She doesn't like watermelon and she also won't eat cantalope either.

i think im just like you. i like all kinds of fruit. i eat banana, papaya and even durian which are so smelly. even durian is one of my favorites fruits. i lie orange and grapes. and of course i lije pineapple. it is so juicy. i like to chop pineapple in dice then pour it some sugar. mix well then woila! i have great pineapple salad of my own. lol. i can eat two pinapples at once if i make them into salad. fortunately i live in a tropical country where pinapple is easy to find and we can buy it at low price. i also like guava mango and mangosteen. tropical country is a place for plenty kinds of delicious fruits.i think im blessed. lol.

Wew, good to be you. Well I'm like that too. But I think we must consider other peoples who can't just eat anything like that. Some peoples have allergy to a certain substance so they can't even though they really want. I do know peoples here in my country that does not want to go even near a Dorian fruits because it's too smelly for their nose. The just can't take it. Since my country host most of tropical fruits I think there are so many other fruits which you can't even think of before exists here :) and I love and feel blessed because of that.

i know some people have allergic to special substance. but fruits are kinds of food less of that substance. we can compare with sea food, many people have allergic to crabs, shrimps or some kinds of fish. but it is rare to find people suffers from allergic to fruits substance. it doesnt mean there's no person at all, but rare. durian is so smelly. we can even smell it from meters away. as i know this fruit is one of forbidden fruits to be brought in a flight cos of its smell. but actually the taste is so awesome. it is the combination of bitter and sweet. very unique. in my place durian is one of the most expensive domestic fruits. my country also has some unique fruits but they are not too familiar, not only for foreigners but also for domestic people. it is because those fruits dont have economic value so nobody wants to sell them. it makes those fruits are not well known by others.

I like many kinds of fruit.Just like apple,banana,guava,berries,pomelo ect.Even mangosteen is my most favorite !But I can't offen eat it because the mangosteen should imported from foreign country and it is so expensive in supermaket.So I very envy you that you can eat the fruit you like.How lucky are you. I love the tropical country where there is a person i love.He shows me the food i have never eaten ,the person i have never seen,I think he is so happy when he is not with me.He has leave me,we just going by.

One word Machatago....Durian fruit! I can never get used to the smell of that fruit on my many visits to Vietnam! It doesn't actually taste as bad as it smells but oh boy....it does smell! my friends in Vietnam used to tease me and even got me to try Durian ice cream, without me knowing. Hmm... Apart from that, I like most fruits. Especially like Dragon fruit and Pomello. Have a good day.

they are just picky eaters i believe. I have those who do not like durian which is understandable because durian is quite smelly... some are also not used to eating fruits back when they were kids.

Yeah. Me too. I am not picky where fruits are concerned. But Guava is something I just cannot have. I initally had a allergy issue with it. But now, Guava, especiallyl the ripe and over ripe ones. I cant stand the smell of it too.

There are not too many fruits that I will not eat. Kiwi and plums are two fruits that come to mind that I usually take a pass on. They are just two fruits that I never acquired the taste for.

With regards to fruits I'm not choosy, I think I can eat any kind. I'm also not particular with it's smell as long as it can be eaten, that's fine with me. Fruits are nature’s wonderful medicines packed with vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants and many nutrients needed by our body. So include fruits in our diet and stay healthy.

To be honest,apples are not my tea but there are indeed many people like it.I know it is nutrious but really don't have an interest.Anyway,i set the junk food away rather than these fruits.Looks very fresh and delicious.Help my body to be healthy.

I think the fruit that I hate is the chico. I hate its taste.I think that's the only fruit that I disregard and will lose my appetite if I eat that.

I'm like you I love all fruits for sure. I'm trying to think of something I don't like but can't. There are fruits I can't eat due to getting a allergic reaction. These fruits are plums, peaches, and cherries. I love these fruits but just can't eat them. My mouth gets real itches and swollen. Otherwise I even eat fruits like breadfruit, Guanabana or starfruits that most people haven't heard of in the states.

Hmm, let's see. I don't think I will eat durian, and I don't really like ripe /yellow mangoes. I prefer the green ones. And I also am not a big fan of chico. The rest of the fruits, I like to eat.

I love all kinds of fruits here. I do not like kiwis. I like kiwi in juices, just not to eat the fruit itself.
