What specific kinds of fruit don't ship well or are hard to find?

Question

I live in Oregon. I know that Charentais Melons are very delicious, but are hard to find because they are hard to ship to places because of their high sugar content and skin. Instead, I grow them to enjoy. Is there any fruits that are sweet and delicious, but are hard to find or don't ship well? I have a large greenhouse with variable temperature so climate is not a huge issue. I'm open to anything I can grow, as long as its a fruit or very sweet. Thanks.

Answer 1

Figs are a very sweet fruit that is difficult to ship. The trees may be too big for your greenhouse however. A new "fruit" the Miracle Berry from Africa is a cutting edge novelty item that is fast becoming a food fad in NYC. It grows on a shrub type bush and the berries are very difficult to ship, so it is a very expensive party item. The berry numbs receptors on the tongue and makes sour or tart foods taste sweet. A bush will take several years to produce fruit.
