Passionfruit (aka passiflora)
This fruit has become more popular in recent years, and some even grow it in their back yard for its vitamin A and C content , for its potassium levels and its fiber.

Pineapple
Like many of the others on this list, the pineapple originally comes from the tropical areas of South America – mainly Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay.
