exotic fruit
Mango or dragonfruit
Exotic fruit refers to fruit unfamiliar to a given region, typically imported from tropical or distant climates.
What counts as exotic depends on where you are—mangoes and papayas are exotic in Minnesota but ordinary in Manila.
The term often carries connotations of luxury or novelty: The hotel breakfast featured exotic fruits I'd never seen before.
Marketing sometimes applies the label loosely to make ordinary produce sound more appealing.
