The Rainbow Fruit (
Description[]
Appearance[]
Taste[]
The fruit received its name not just from its colorful appearance, but from the way its juice, when evaporating into the air, gives off a rainbow. When placed in one's mouth, its flavor shifts seven times, making the eater taste a wide assortment of delicious flavors. Also of note is that the color and taste of the fruit depends on the humidity and temperature of the air. It's so delicious that most beasts want to eat it by instinct and try to eat it even while being eaten themselves. Because of its intensity, people are cautioned against eating too much of it.
Uses[]
The nectar of the fruit is so concentrated that just a single drop could turn a whole 25-meter pool into a huge bowl of fruit juice. Combined with alcohol, Rainbow Fruit juice is called "Rainbow Cocktail", and it is widely revered and sought after by bartenders far and wide. It can also be made into the strong alcoholic wine simply called "Rainbow Fruit Wine", which has a very high 85% alcohol content.

Rainbow Fruit Arc[]
Johannes, under orders from the IGO, requested Toriko's services in capturing the Rainbow Fruit growing in the 8th Biotope as the IGO was unable to acquire it using their tanks. Toriko agreed, and he and Komatsu were taken to the 8th Biotope by Johannes where after surviving several traps and a horde of Troll Kongs, they were able to finally acquire the Rainbow Fruit, however Toriko only took one fruit as to not upset the Troll Kongs' hunting methods and their way of life.

When the Gourmet Corp. invaded the 8th Biotope, they took each and every Rainbow Fruit and nearly killed every Troll Kong in their way. Luckily the plant was still intact.
