Foods that bite back

What kind of an explorer are you ?  a nature explorer, coffee explorer, a fashion explorer or a food explorer. Whatever you try to explore, you will always find some specimens that are just Bizarre. And here are, what I think some of the most Bizarre food items you should try.

Granny Smith apples: 
 


This crisp green apple can described by one word and that's acidic.They get their tart flavor from malic acid. The malic acid is also used in cosmetic products to provide gentle exfoliation of dead skin cells.







Star Fruit: 


The star fruit has a tart flavor but with sour undertone.  Usually, its tartness can be determined by the width of its ribs. The closer together the ribs are set, the more tart the flavor.





Wasabi: 


The wasabi is a condiment and it has an extremely strong taste. Its quite hot and can cause burning sensations in the nasal passages. You should be able to find some wasabi beans in the asian stores. 





Horseradish:


Horseradish is the American Wasabi. It has a spicy taste and just like wasabi doesn't burn on the tongue, but in the nose and sinuses and can make the eyes watery and nose run.
