Grapefruits are seasonal fruits in February, but they are not as common as you think–simply because they’re not popular with the locals. The Indian people prefer other fruits, so the vendors don’t grow them in abundance. They are tart, tangy, and have a zingy punch in the taste. Plus, they’re rich in vitamin C and antioxidants.

5. Indian Gooseberry (आंवला)
