Papaya or guava
Tropical fruit is fruit that grows in warm, humid climates near the equator—mangoes, papayas, pineapples, bananas, coconuts, and the like.
The term distinguishes these from temperate fruits like apples and pears.
Tropical fruits often have bright colors, intense flavors, and don't tolerate cold storage well: The tropical fruit platter included starfruit and passion fruit.
