I don't see it mentioned so maybe it's not lesser known, but jackfruit is amazing. SEA like most amazing fruit but have seen it more often in North America. Fresh, not the prepped and sauced vegan style.

I'd also like to mention Sapota.
Honorary mention to Grewia asiatica and Syzygium.
Dwarf raspberry/dewberry. My pop used to call it 'gumbo' for some reason.
Its a tiny little raspberry plant that produces one berry per plant, so its hard to get it in any quantity.
The fruit itself is more juicy than a regular raspberry, and tastes more like fake raspberry flavored candy. Its always a treat to find these while hiking.
Maypops, which are a north american species of passionfruit. Obviously not a great hand fruit.
0: I have never heard of these! Do they taste the same or?
I wouldn't say exactly, but a similar profile. Like two different varieties of apple taste the same but different.
Jujubes. They're like a dryer sweeter small apple. They don't need a lot to grow where I am and there's hundreds per tree.

Persimmons. Have a full size tree about to drop maybe 40 pounds of them. And I have no idea what to do with that many.
So not in my area, but I recently discovered cloudberry jam, which is absolutely delicious. It's like a mix of citrus and strawberry.
Arum is an incredbibly underrated veg too, with an amazing texture.
Marian plum. A bit too sour to eat on it's own but a spiced and preserved ones taste pretty damn good.
Loquats! Its like eating a giant sweet grape
Gooseberries are found in several traditional recipes from southern Netherlands, but most supermarkets no longer carry the fruit.
