Besides there being different fruits all together, even the fruits that we're used to are different.  The two that seem to have to most differences that come to mind right off the bat are Bananas and Pineapples.

There are many different types of bananas, unlike in the US where we just have one type.  The bananas are smaller here.  The type we've been getting are Prata bananas, they also have an apple banana variety and some others that we haven't tried.  We have to make sure we buy them completely green because in a day, maybe two, they are all ripe.  Everything spoils so much quicker here.

Pineapples are more cone shaped, not cylindrical like we get in the US.  They are also smaller and not as sweet.  They have a paler flesh, more white than the golden yellow color.  The cost is $R1.50, which equals US$1.00
