A fruit native to Southeast Asia that grows in grape-like bunches, they have a distinctive flavor—floral, sweet, and tart. They have rough purple skins and white translucent flesh with a large seed in the center. Peel and remove the seed before eating the flesh. Buy them fresh or canned in syrup at Asian grocery stores.
