Fruits of India........!!!!! Note to Mods....Please move this where you think it will be most useful, and feel free to sticky it if you like. Much useful info here. I couldn't exactly figure out what forum it belongs in.
Below is a list of links showing the majority of minor fruit crops in India. Many are native to India, but there are a wide array of fruits which originated elsewhere, but which have either gained some degree of commercial importance in India, or have escaped and naturalized in the wild. A few are primarily grown as ornamental tree and shrubs. Many of these will be rarely seen in city markets, and will be more common in the village markets. A few are not commercially produced and will only be seen in the wild.
I would be very happy to receive more info on any of these, and also ones not mentioned here. Info such as local names, where you've seen them, what time of year, etc. would be useful for my ongoing research. Photos would be greatly appreciated, but please try to show a cross-section of the fruit if possible.
The point of this thread is as a reference for, and conversation about the incredible diversity of fruit in India.
Enjoy. Monstera deliciosa ,
