\nJackfruit looks a bit like Durian on the outside, so I didn’t want to eat it. But when a friend asked me to taste it, I found it very sweet and easy to eat.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Ms. Lan<\/td>\nV\u1eady \u00e0. Em c\u0169ng th\u00edch m\u00edt. Ngo\u00e0i ra c\u00f2n qu\u1ea3 g\u00ec n\u1eefa kh\u00f4ng anh ?<\/span>

\nThat’s right. Recently, Lychee is sold a lot in the US. I hope Longan and Rambutan will be exported to the US soon.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
