Regional Fruits Quiz – Fruits With a Homeland

Many fruits are closely linked to the regions where they grow best. Tropical Southeast Asia gives us durian, mangosteen and rambutan, the Andes offer cherimoya and lucuma, and the Mediterranean is home to figs, olives and pomegranates.

Some fruits have travelled far from home. Kiwifruit came from China before New Zealand made it famous, and mangoes from India spread across the tropics. Açaí berries from the Amazon became a global health food trend.

Regional fruits are tied to culture and law. Durian is banned on Singapore's trains for its smell, cloudberries are treasured in Scandinavia and figs are among the oldest cultivated plants. Tasting local fruit is a delicious part of travel.
