About This Video
In the produce section of an extraordinary market full of fruits from tropical regions around the world, a child meets dragon fruit (bright pink outside, white inside with tiny black seeds), rambutan (a hairy red ball that opens to reveal a sweet white jewel), starfruit (sliced into perfect five-pointed golden stars), jackfruit (the largest tree fruit in the world, up to 50 kilograms), yellow mangosteen, spiky durian and purple passion fruit — each more extraordinary-looking than the last, each originating in a different warm corner of the world.
Perfect for curious children aged 2 to 7 who love food discovery. Many supermarkets and markets now stock dragon fruit, starfruit and lychee year-round — buy one after watching and taste it together. The discovery of a new flavour is one of the best simple adventures available. Free.

Parents' Questions
Which exotic fruits does the video introduce and where do they come from?
This fruit discovery story introduces dragon fruit (grown in Vietnam and Central America — bright pink or yellow skin, white flesh with tiny black seeds, very mild sweet taste), rambutan (grown in Thailand and Malaysia — a hairy red shell containing a sweet translucent white fruit like a lychee's relative), starfruit (from Southeast Asia — sliced into five-pointed golden stars), jackfruit (South and Southeast Asia — the world's largest tree fruit, tasting like a combination of pineapple, mango and banana), purple passion fruit (South America — intensely sweet-sour black seeds and pulp) and yellow mangosteen.
How can the exotic fruits video encourage children to try unfamiliar foods?
Seeing an exotic fruit celebrated in an animated story dramatically lowers the psychological barrier to tasting it. Children who have already 'met' dragon fruit in the video approach a real dragon fruit at the market as a friend rather than an unknown threat. Visit an Asian supermarket or well-stocked market after watching and find one or two fruits from the story. Let your child choose which to buy. At home, cut it open together before tasting — the ceremony of discovering what is inside a rambutan or starfruit is part of the pleasure for children aged 2 to 7.
What age is the World of Exotic Fruits discovery video designed for?
Designed for children aged 2 to 7. Young children are captivated by the extraordinary colours and shapes — the neon pink of dragon fruit, the spikes of rambutan, the perfect geometric star of starfruit. Children aged 5 to 7 enjoy learning which country each fruit comes from and develop a genuine wish list of fruits to try. One of the most popular food curiosity videos in the collection — parents consistently report children spontaneously pointing out exotic fruits in supermarkets and naming them after watching.
