    They taste a bit like a juicy cucumber, but there's so many damn seeds there's really not much to actually eat.

    It is kaffir lime. Markut is a Thai word for it. We sometimes use it in soup, but these days, it's mostly found in shampoos and soaps.

    Carrots used to be a variety of different colors. Orange carrots only came about through selective breeding in the Netherlands to celebrate their independence several centuries ago.

    Kepel is a very rare and endangered tree from Central Java, Indonesia. The fruit grows on the lower trunk and has a sweet mango-like taste.
