I don’t see it mentioned so maybe it’s not lesser known, but jackfruit is amazing. SEA like most amazing fruit but have seen it more often in North America. Fresh, not the prepped and sauced vegan style.
Pakay! Also called ice cream bean. It’s a giant bean, inside there’s big seeds surrounded in white solid-fluffy stuff. You eat the white stuff. It’s sweet without being overpowering and the consistency is interesting. Delicious
Mostly eat em fresh, but I’ve used them to make a filling to biscuits a couple of times. I just feel bad cooking down smth so fresh lol. Feel like it should be consumed raw and instantly. But I like em in salads or grilled up too!
Do thimbleberries count? Not sure how local they are to me, but they’re so tasty. Think a sweeter, more fragile raspberry. They make an excellent jam! my only complaint I have is how fragile they are, they only last a day or two in the fridge
While sugar beet is hardly unknown, try Zuckerrübensirup if you’re near Germany, a black-ish sirup made from them. You can usually also get it in the Netherlands and sometimes in Denmark at least.
There are similar products in other countries, but they lack the distinct taste the German variant has that makes it such an awesome spread! And no, it has nothing to do with Marmite, which is a good thing.
