Have you ever went to Brazil and had jabuticaba? Its a sweet little black berry with a seed in the middle, the entire thing is edible but you can remove the skin or seed if you feel like it.
Would you please make the video of such fruits world-over who's seed locates outside of the fruit. e.g. cashew (India, mostly available in coastal part of Maharashtra).
Seriously. This is the most incredible resource out there for rare fruit and his amazing ability to describe the flavors he’s tasting in such relatable terms is priceless! I’m constantly going back and referring to old videos when I’m debating whether or not I should make the effort to track down a fruiting plant for my collection!
Baobab is so "addictive" because it's one of the only things in nature containing both fat and carbs in significant amounts. That combination is just too hard to beat. It's been said that sugar alone is more addictive than cocaine, and the combo is on another level still.
Baobab is identical to a native brazilian fruit called Cupuaçu, it's sour and kind of creamy too, very hard to separed the "meat" from the seed, but it's incredible as a icecream or juice
@@dmanzawsome first of all which nuts (because theres so many, that to make a generalization like you did and as I will isnt very smart) but most nuts --atleast the most common nuts consumed in the west-- dont contain too much carbs actually being mosty a fatty choice, that's why theres plenty of cooking oils that are made from nuts.
If you said that Bull's Heart tastes like yogurt, and just a little stirring turned it into a yogurt consistency, I would have to wonder if there could be a market for for it as the base of a vegan yogurt.
Big Blue Weeaboo yogurt has dairy in it, vegans do not eat or wear anything from animals. Including milk, cheese, honey, and some things with food coloring contain beetles.
Thank you for showcasing thimbleberry! I've eaten these as a kid and never knew their name, you've solved a decade old problem of mine, childhood me and current me thank you.
Gosh maybe I overlooked the thimbleberry's. I ate them a couple of times when I lived up in Redmond Washington but I wasn't very impressed by them compared with the blackberries.
That is a very ignorant view. They are far from the primary colors. Try eating a natural strawberry. Hardly any flavor at all. The cultivars we consume have been bred to have tons of intricate and deep flavor profiles. The issue is you are used to them so they seem regular and ordinary to you, meanwhile fruits not sold here have the allure of being exotic. If you lived in the countries where they grow it would be normal to you and some of our ordinary supermarket fruits would be exotic.
@@klicer3068 What you believe a strawberry is is actually a cross between two wild varieties that are as small as peas and flavorless in comparison to their hybrid.
@@klicer3068 So you are replying to an American channel talking about American fruit but think your wild strawberry is relevant? Yikes. Even still I would highly doubt that your wild equivalent is better than the cross varieties that can be made with it.
@@Luckingsworth "I'm not wrong! You're wrong! Are you even American? This is an AMERICAN channel talking about AMERICAN fruit, like... thimbleberries... and... oh crap, that's the only one in this video."
I only tried rose apple,actually we had a tree of this fruit in the backyard but had to remove it due to neighbors getting mad about leaves falling in their terrain but I still remember being a kid waking up 2am cause I really needed to eat rose apple dessert with table cream
If you're in Europe, you can find them only in the largest wholesale markets - Rungis of Paris, Ortomercato of Milan and Covent Garden of London. All they are open for public on Saturdays. Also in some companies in Barendrecht (Holland) specialized in importing of exotic fruits As a rule, the best varieties of fruits never appear in supermarkets
Get a little plot of land or use a Terrasse. There is no reason you cannot grow indoors. There are plenty of things you could grow in a sufficiently big pot and most Appartments Happen ton have windows. An led can support growth. Start with easy stuff that grows allmost everywhere like marakujas. Bananas also grow in a lot of dif climates. Growing some easy crops like salad and onion, sweet potatoes, basil and other herbs can go a long way in reducing expenses for food and increase variety. Like any other plant most root plants can be grown in pots. Best fertilizer is piss btw, 10% mix. A human can provide enough fertilizer for him/herself through urine alone so it is another thing to save money on. In a ln Appartments I would suggest a bukashi compost. You do not need to travel abroad to get fruits from all over the world, they can come to you as clones, seeds, fruits. Sometimes it takes time. Like trying blueberry cactus. 7 years from seed to fruit for example. Other things go much faster. I have just ordered around 20 different marakujas. Some almost extinct some extinct in wildlife and seldom cultivated. Fruits you cannot even buy if you travel abroad unless extremely lucky. Oh and purple bananas
You know, I wake up everyday, and scrub-up, and start my day. Then I trudge, trudge, trudge until the clock tells me I have to go home. I do this year, after year. To you it seems like a long seven years, and you may think, "Where am I going with this?", but hell, what do you want out of life? Sure, more money would be good. Look, all of us are going run down our time. I think you are spending your time much more wisely than most. In fact, most people would love to spend their last seven years doing what you have done in your last seven.

oh god, rose apple just bringing back so much memories to my childhood. i spent the early part of my childhood in the southern china guangxi province. me and my friends would go into the bush of my neighborhood's park and climb the trees to get some rose apples for snacks. they're so good that i surprise no country that i been to sell them as produce. and by the way, this is the first time i heard they called rose apple in english, back then i heard people called them "water grape" in chinese, but we just thought they're some sweet fruit grows in the park lol
It is sold in the supermarket near my house, but they are very expensive. I had a tree in my office, we used to pluck and eat from. Hence never felt like buying it.
Yay thimbleberry! :) they're lovely I missed eating them this year due to timing. Thanks for mentioning a wonderful woodland treat lol They grow all over the East Kootenays in Canada. We have a lot of berries in our area :)
You should've come to Bangladesh, there's a mango called "lakfajli" in Rajshahi. I feel like it comes straight from heaven. It is the best mango, the best fruit I've ever had. I can't describe how good it is.
I'm about to start a mango turf war here, as is my desi birthright. Fajlis are good, but nothing beats a good Amrapali. Those things taste like something from a dream you've had on a sweltering summer afternoon before the storm, under the boughs of a mango tree in bloom.
@@gomboc5146 It's been two years, and now I agree with you too. My opinion of Lakfajli being the best mango ever has changed. Finding a good Lakfajli is a game of luck. You have to have a good fruit-finding nose like me as well as good luck. But Amropalis are ALWAYS good. They taste and look like somebody imagined them while tripping on some heavy drugs and their imagination came to life. I skip regular meals in summer just so I can eat Amropalis to my hearts content. My stomach fills up but my tastebuds want more.
About timbleberries: I think wild raspberries might taste quite similar. I highly recommend trying it. You can find it for sure in Carpathian mountains, but they are probably common in many places. they're small but have super concentrated flavour and are sweeter than store-bought.
Your videos make me miss Bolivia so much!! Your #1 is great, but Bolivian Ice cream bean fruit (Or as I know it: Pacay) will forever be MY #1. Thanks for also making a video about that fruit- I got to share it with friends who don’t have the opportunity to try my favourite fruit here in Canada. If you ever go back to Bolivia, I suggest comparing our mandarins and other citrus fruits to the one’s you might have already tried. The ones you’ll find at fruit-vendor stands won’t look as pretty as the ones in North American supermarkets, but imo they taste so much better!
great video man, keep pumping them out. really enjoyed meeting you in NYC and thanks so much for the fruit tasting. Got to try cacao and tamarillo for the first time and i loved both, and your coco de mer documentary was extremely well made. You should enter it into a film festival, it is that good...
The rubus illecebrosus ( balloon berry) is a amazing looking fruit like a raspberry a size of a large strawberry, it's popular in Lithuania. There are a lot of rare syzygium's in australia like the Syzygium luehmannii and the really rare native water cherry ( syzygium aqueum )
Hi, the number one fruit in Brazil is named BACUPARI, is a Garcinia gardneriana / Garcinia Macrophylla. And there lots of different varieties of them in the country. And the correct name of the Achacha is Achachairu , is a south american indian name (as the bacupari). Very difficult to pronunce in some languages.
Mangosteens are my favorite fruit. You have no idea how stoked I was to hear Garcinia was at the top of your list. I was literally fist-pumping like my team won the Super Bowl. Now I need to get my hands on Garcinia Intermedia!
By the way, that fruit was not Garcinia intermedia. I think it was a Platonia insignis, but it was not a Garcinia intermedia. Intermedia is sour and has a small amount of flesh.
Thank you for showing the hamam mangoes. Never knew what they were called, but I called them unripe mangoes and hated them so much as a kid. Maybe I'll try some this summer 😀
For me, it's everything in peak season ripeness: Summer Indian alphonso mango! June German freshly harvested strawberries. A simple crisp juicy sweet and sour apple in fall. A fresh date of unbelievable sweetness and creamyness. A ripe cherimoya. A pineapple. Blackberries in my childhood plucked from my grandmas garden. Cherries fresh from the trea.
Agreed on the mamee apple, they're delicious. We were always told you shouldn't eat too much because the flesh contains pyrethrins, you found a live worm in one so there goes that.
Wow, I did not expect to see a fruit I recognized! Thimbleberries grow on my dad's property and I have a lot of happy childhood memories associated with picking and eating them.
They’re one of my favorites too! I was able to track down some seeds and grow them so I’m really looking forward to tasing my own fruit! I was amazed how much they actually taste like a rose!
i have had sabote since i was young(i am a Vietnamese so there are lots of those) and it is honestly one of the best fruits out there, and it makes a great smoothie too.
11:27 I think it is a Bacuri(Platonia insignis), the taste you have described match with the taste of Bacuri. On top of that, Bacuri grow in the amazon forest.
I had Durian in Thailand this spring. I tried it twice because the first time I wasn't sure if I had actually gotten Durian because the flavor was mild and it didn't smell bad. The first time Im guessing it wasnt fully ripe. I would say an under ripe Durian is good but fully ripe tastes like the smell which is like death and rotten onions.
Lol! I was able to find a fresh durian here in San Diego and I was SO excited! When it was uncut I thought it smelled good and considering I’m all for trying every fruit I can get my hands on I was down for an experience! Then I cut into it. It was HORRENDOUS! Like gasoline and rotten onions. I tried to eat some but it was so bad and the awful taste lingered and only got worse! My adventurous, fruit collecting ass was shamed that day as I took the rest of it, triple wrapped directly outside to the garbage can. I don’t think I got a bad one either, since then I’ve smelled durian flavored things and it was just about the same. I think it just has to be one of those things like cilantro or broccoli that tastes different to different people. It’s the only way I can rationalize it’s popularity!
Now I’m happy to know that there is something that tastes like my favorite flavor of yogurt, I’m lactose intolerant and after corona is over, I’m heading over to baobab town 😎
very interesting set of videos! while I lived in Malaysia, my favorite fruit was purple mangosteen, but they were only available for a short time per year. Rambutans (translates to “hairy things”) were available more frequently. The best bananas were pisang emas (golden bananas) about 5 inches long with amazing flavor. The best US super market bananas, in comparison, taste like styrofoam. I grew into liking durian (thorny thing) quite a lot. I thought it was like eating raspberry sherbet in an open sewer. Durian had the reputation of being slightly psychoactive and euphorogenic (“Makan badan panas.” = “Makes your body hot.”). Do you have any thoughts about other psycho active fruit?
I came around a thimbleberry bush in BC ans stumble right infront of a big ass brown bear as i was going around it into a very narrow row of thimble berry bushes....He was about 10 feet away from me... He was eating and he looked at.. continued to eat berry as he walked across those bushes to let me the passage... It was a very very precious moment. Those berries were overripe and tasted like rasberry jam. Thanks for sharring!
So happy to see the Achacha-achachairu, oroco get a honorific mention. Im sure 1 deserves its place and makes me want to try it as soon as posible. I just discovered your channel and have been binge watching them. I hope the best for you and Im sorry for the chauvinistic attitude of my countrymen in previous videos.
The rose apples, Mami and custard apples were childhood favs of mine in jamaica...we also had nesberries aka sapodillas in other Caribbean countries that tastes like concentrated sugar with a rose scent.
waiting for the next top 10, i have ordered so many of the top10 fruit trees that it is forcing me to add a sun room on my home, i,have over 60 citrus and all sorts of unusal friut trees it is additive.
Wow, what an amazing and beautiful life you lead. Please , please no matter how comfortable you are with traveling, be on guard and protect yourself. Ok, down to what I want to say😘... Thank you so much for sharing your life and travels with us. I get so excited to see your videos.... I've looked on Amazon and did find a few of these fruits... Very pricey as you can imagine..
Just discovered your channel its awesome, thanks! I want to grow my own tropical food forest one day. My favorite fruit right now is papaya and I'm trying to grow them in southern Missouri. Overwinter indoors in containers obviously. Thanks again
I have actually found a Thimbleberry plant in the forest. I ate them and thought it was a wild raspberry until i found out otherwise by seeing an article online. They are amazing and go to my secret spot all the time to eat tem.
custard apple is also very common here in the philippines, But for me, custard apple tastes like sugar apple. I love your show, I am amazed by the fruits that are very unfamiliar.
This the second of your "Top 10" lists of which I am growing three of species. From this video, I am growing Casimiroa edulis (white sapote), Annona reticulata (bulls heart) and Garcinia intermedia (lemmondrop mangosteen)
Some of my family live in Vietnam and have a big rose apple tree in their front yard. When I went to visit, I would always pick them off the tree and eat them. They are so delicious! Sweet, juicy, floral, crunchy, hydrating. A lot of the rose apples I've found at Asian supermarkets in North America taste bland and watery. I guess my family's tree produces nice and sweet ones!

Got to try cacao and tamarillo for the first time and i loved both, and your coco de mer documentary was extremely well made. You should enter it into a film festival, it is that good...
Thanks so much ken! thanks for the peppers , going to review those babies later today.
@@WeirdExplorer you are going to be pleasantly surprised. they arent that hot and really tasty...
Thank you fruit man I enjoyed this
Nice video, Greets from Bolivia, now starts the achachairú season🤩 but i want to prove a timbleberry looks great
The rubus illecebrosus ( balloon berry) is a amazing looking fruit like a raspberry a size of a large strawberry, it's popular in Lithuania.
There are a lot of rare syzygium's in australia like the Syzygium luehmannii and the really rare native water cherry ( syzygium aqueum )
Hi, the number one fruit in Brazil is named BACUPARI, is a Garcinia gardneriana / Garcinia Macrophylla. And there lots of different varieties of them in the country. And the correct name of the Achacha is Achachairu , is a south american indian name (as the bacupari). Very difficult to pronunce in some languages.
Mangosteens are my favorite fruit. You have no idea how stoked I was to hear Garcinia was at the top of your list. I was literally fist-pumping like my team won the Super Bowl. Now I need to get my hands on Garcinia Intermedia!
By the way, that fruit was not Garcinia intermedia. I think it was a Platonia insignis, but it was not a Garcinia intermedia. Intermedia is sour and has a small amount of flesh.
I wish you and Miami fruit could somehow get some of these into supermarkets.
Surely you have a field guide book to accompany your wonderful work. Loved this.
Thank you for showing the hamam mangoes. Never knew what they were called, but I called them unripe mangoes and hated them so much as a kid. Maybe I'll try some this summer 😀
For me, it's everything in peak season ripeness: Summer Indian alphonso mango! June German freshly harvested strawberries. A simple crisp juicy sweet and sour apple in fall. A fresh date of unbelievable sweetness and creamyness. A ripe cherimoya. A pineapple. Blackberries in my childhood plucked from my grandmas garden. Cherries fresh from the trea.
I really like that rose apple. Its soo good
Omg, I knew it'd be something related to achacha. Was blown away when I tried it in Sydney, insane. Great pick.
Congratulations on passing the 400 video milestone! 🍒🍑🥭
Thank you!
I love fruits and because of your videos I have learned so much thank you thank you
When you talked about Baobab it reminded me of a fruit native to Brazil's savannah (cerrado) called Jatobá, it's powdery and sweet.
I always enjoy your top 10 videos. But then again I enjoy all your videos. Thanks for all you do.
You are genuinely doing good research, sir.
Agreed on the mamee apple, they're delicious. We were always told you shouldn't eat too much because the flesh contains pyrethrins, you found a live worm in one so there goes that.
Got both Bull' heart and Hamam mango trees in garden😋
I'm Indian btw❤
Wow, I did not expect to see a fruit I recognized! Thimbleberries grow on my dad's property and I have a lot of happy childhood memories associated with picking and eating them.
Lucky! I want to try them. They sound really good
I love the rose apple i eat so many every time i go back to Thailand but so expensive in the uk
They’re one of my favorites too! I was able to track down some seeds and grow them so I’m really looking forward to tasing my own fruit! I was amazed how much they actually taste like a rose!
Bro at end of 500 episode make an overall top 10 or top 15. Thank you
i have had sabote since i was young(i am a Vietnamese so there are lots of those) and it is honestly one of the best fruits out there, and it makes a great smoothie too.
Those all look delicious... wish i could travel and try them all!
So....i saw this then raced off to order thimbleberry plants fr my garden. Thanks!
11:27 I think it is a Bacuri(Platonia insignis), the taste you have described match with the taste of Bacuri. On top of that, Bacuri grow in the amazon forest.
Wow! Didn’t expect to see a fruit that grows in my backyard (literally) to be in this video! Thimbleberries must be better than I remember lol
Wow this is awesome. Thanks for sharing. See you always.
I had Durian in Thailand this spring. I tried it twice because the first time I wasn't sure if I had actually gotten Durian because the flavor was mild and it didn't smell bad. The first time Im guessing it wasnt fully ripe. I would say an under ripe Durian is good but fully ripe tastes like the smell which is like death and rotten onions.
Lol! I was able to find a fresh durian here in San Diego and I was SO excited! When it was uncut I thought it smelled good and considering I’m all for trying every fruit I can get my hands on I was down for an experience! Then I cut into it. It was HORRENDOUS! Like gasoline and rotten onions. I tried to eat some but it was so bad and the awful taste lingered and only got worse! My adventurous, fruit collecting ass was shamed that day as I took the rest of it, triple wrapped directly outside to the garbage can. I don’t think I got a bad one either, since then I’ve smelled durian flavored things and it was just about the same. I think it just has to be one of those things like cilantro or broccoli that tastes different to different people. It’s the only way I can rationalize it’s popularity!
congratz my man 400 episodes of genuinly interesting content
Now I’m happy to know that there is something that tastes like my favorite flavor of yogurt, I’m lactose intolerant and after corona is over, I’m heading over to baobab town 😎
thimbleberry grow like absolute weeds here in the PNW and are absolutely everywhere in infinite amounts. so good.
very interesting set of videos! while I lived in Malaysia, my favorite fruit was purple mangosteen, but they were only available for a short time per year. Rambutans (translates to “hairy things”) were available more frequently. The best bananas were pisang emas (golden bananas) about 5 inches long with amazing flavor. The best US super market bananas, in comparison, taste like styrofoam. I grew into liking durian (thorny thing) quite a lot. I thought it was like eating raspberry sherbet in an open sewer. Durian had the reputation of being slightly psychoactive and euphorogenic (“Makan badan panas.” = “Makes your body hot.”). Do you have any thoughts about other psycho active fruit?
Raspberry sherbet in an open sewer. I'm sold! 🤣
You can find rambutans in Asian markets in America easily.
Weird Explorer is strangely one of the best RUclipsrs I watch when I have nothing else to watch
I used to love to make and eat thimbleberry pie!
I love thimbleberries. They are amazing.
Mamey apples are amazing.
I came around a thimbleberry bush in BC ans stumble right infront of a big ass brown bear as i was going around it into a very narrow row of thimble berry bushes....He was about 10 feet away from me... He was eating and he looked at.. continued to eat berry as he walked across those bushes to let me the passage... It was a very very precious moment. Those berries were overripe and tasted like rasberry jam. Thanks for sharring!
psilocybe cubensis... best fruit ever...
also kiwanao
It's in fungus family...
Yeah the seeds are so annoying though right😒
YOU must have an awesome seed collection after all these years!!!!!
For a second I thought you were going to put Water Apple at #6 and I almost cancelled my Patreon support ;)
Haha that would have been totally justified.
So happy to see the Achacha-achachairu, oroco get a honorific mention. Im sure 1 deserves its place and makes me want to try it as soon as posible.
I just discovered your channel and have been binge watching them.
I hope the best for you and Im sorry for the chauvinistic attitude of my countrymen in previous videos.
Hey guy, would you make a video about your top favorite: sweet, sour, and savory fruits separately...? I'm curious what be at the top of each category
Maybe sometime! too many reviews to get through at the moment to do more top tens
That’s a really good idea
Excellent video
Who else here remembers the first 'top 10' 100 episode special he did?
Peperidge farms remembers...
I hardly remember, thank god for pepperidge farms.
@@WeirdExplorer Peperidge farms ALWAYS remembers...
please make another top 10!! but this time, a top 10 of all time!!
I dream of durian
You just made me walk to my local supermarket and pick up a bunch of weird fruits
I haven't tasted most of these fruits, but my favorite one so far is not in this list, it is jabuticaba
sapote is amazing. I waited so long to eat one and it was so worth it.
Rose apple???? It’s called rose myrtle in Vietnam
The rose apples, Mami and custard apples were childhood favs of mine in jamaica...we also had nesberries aka sapodillas in other Caribbean countries that tastes like concentrated sugar with a rose scent.
Durian, mangosteen, soursop, lychee, rambutan, and longan are the best fruits in the world.
I could have trusted your list but then I saw the name "Durian"
Thoppilorchards
no need to put lychee and rambutan together, rambutan is the superior version of lychee xD
Super fun! I had Mangosteens in Bali. Loved them. Great to discover all these other fruits with you. Look forward to more!
waiting for the next top 10, i have ordered so many of the top10 fruit trees that it is forcing me to add a sun room on my home, i,have over 60 citrus and all sorts of unusal friut trees it is additive.
So glad to hear that!
i honestly want to do that
@@ashaler__ i now have 81 citrus and my second greenhouse will be set up next month 20x40 (my addiction is bad)
@@diannaodman2847 i need like 10 greenhouses in my life, need to cultivate sweetsop haha
Thimbleberries are so good! I love foraging for them in the summer.
4:38 SPOILER ALERT!!!
for future episode 421
Wow, what an amazing and beautiful life you lead. Please , please no matter how comfortable you are with traveling, be on guard and protect yourself. Ok, down to what I want to say😘... Thank you so much for sharing your life and travels with us. I get so excited to see your videos.... I've looked on Amazon and did find a few of these fruits... Very pricey as you can imagine..
You're so damn underrated dude! I love your channel, and look forward to every video!
Greatest list on your channel
Just discovered your channel its awesome, thanks! I want to grow my own tropical food forest one day. My favorite fruit right now is papaya and I'm trying to grow them in southern Missouri. Overwinter indoors in containers obviously. Thanks again
Thanks! I was just in Missouri, very cool that you can grow papayas there.
I have actually found a Thimbleberry plant in the forest. I ate them and thought it was a wild raspberry until i found out otherwise by seeing an article online. They are amazing and go to my secret spot all the time to eat tem.
Congratulations on 400 reviews, Jared! I always look forward to your videos!
custard apple is also very common here in the philippines, But for me, custard apple tastes like sugar apple. I love your show, I am amazed by the fruits that are very unfamiliar.
I love fruit. Glad I found your channel
Welcome!
@@WeirdExplorer thanks my dude
This the second of your "Top 10" lists of which I am growing three of species. From this video, I am growing Casimiroa edulis (white sapote), Annona reticulata (bulls heart) and Garcinia intermedia (lemmondrop mangosteen)
That was brilliant ! Well done
As you went through the list and I didn't see mangosteen I started thinking it was BS, but then you got to number 1 and my confidence was restored.
Some of my family live in Vietnam and have a big rose apple tree in their front yard. When I went to visit, I would always pick them off the tree and eat them. They are so delicious! Sweet, juicy, floral, crunchy, hydrating. A lot of the rose apples I've found at Asian supermarkets in North America taste bland and watery. I guess my family's tree produces nice and sweet ones!
I think I love this guy.
Thanks for making this.
It would be interesting to see ranking videos by genus aka ranking every Rubus species you've tried or Annona species.
Great list!
I want the antique clock (I think) in your thimbleberry video. Gorgeous colors on it.
