Check out these weird and unusual fruits

Papples

What do you think these are? Apples perhaps? Well they're actually a new type of pear that has hit the supermarket shelves. They're known as papples as they look a lot more like apples than pears!

A fruit called Buddha's hand

This weird looking fruit is known as a Buddha's hand and comes from Asia. It's used in China in marmalades and to flavour dishes, as well as a medicine for sore throats.

Durian

The Durian is a fruit found in south-east Asia, nicknamed the "king of fruit", and is well known for its strong smell, which is loved by some and hated by others. In the Newsround office we think they smell like onions!

Miracle berries

These are miracle berries, originally from Ghana in the west of Africa. The berries are great at making sour or bland food taste better because they have a special substance in them that tricks your tastebuds into thinking you've eaten something a lot sweeter than you have.

Australian finger limes

Here is an Australian finger lime or "citrus caviar". The lime flavoured fruit is popular in America and Australia.

Pluots

Pluots are a combination of plums and apricots. There are other combinations of the two fruits that have been created, each a little different from the other, such as plumcots and apriums.
