      ​@@magnumxlpidon't know about Brazil, but I'd just go out on a limb and assume the variety you can get there is far greater than here in central and northern Europe. Even Europe as a whole. Also the original commenter is correct, there are very few native fruits and those that are usable you have to forage for yourself as well. Most everything we grow to eat here is not from here and we import even more, and still I'm pretty certain in a huge tropical country like Brazil both the number of fruits grown commercially and foraged wild far, far exceeds those grown and available here.

Some would be common in East like black currants, white currants, flowering quince, bush cranberries/vacciniums, lingonberries, bilberries(sometimes called wild blueberries), there are a ton of wild wintergreen species some super endangered.
      Others are lost like trapa nuts, medlars, white beans(cornus fruit), the great giant stone brambles(giant tart raspberry looking things), sea berries are grown in Russia but wild in Scandinavia on coast, same with Russian olives, aronia(eastern Europe popular), fruiting Rosa’s like black hipped rosas, then you have the really cool super rare stuff like Nitraria siberica that lives on salt flats of Siberia and has fruits like salty grapes.

    Sounds like you need to go to Mexico if you have not been already and taste more of the fruits there

    I haven't had cap n crunch in decades so I don't know what that tastes like anymore, although now I'm having flashbacks of a mouth full of blood after being maimed by cereal.

    @weirdexplorer I want to formally invite you to come to Australia. We have a SUPER unique environment and countless fruits for you to try. My advice is to link with the Aboriginal communities and other rare fruit growers of Australia. You will have an amazing time here.
