I could totally see you having a show on the food network or travel channel, going to these destinations & getting into the cultural history & significance of the different fruits, getting into the different properties/health benefits of each fruit, science vs folk remedy.... All things you touch on now, but it would be cool to see how far you could take it with a network budget!
That's the dream, here's hoping one day that call comes in.
Mmmm i love the orange ones. Everything tastes better when it's been ripened on the plant.
You are right! A lot of fruits we found are not correctly ripened and the flavor is not the ideal!
I love your vids! Ur channel is like the only good exotic fruit channel!
Next time, search for the green variety (tuna verde), it has green skin and white pulp, with the flavour of mint milk. It's the best.
Ooh yeah that does sound pretty great
For me is orange > green > red
Whooooaaa mint flavor?? I need me one of those
I wonder how these fruit aren't as popularized as dragonfruit.
Oh, and I am excited with your next Garcinia video. Keep it up!
They're pretty common here in NYC, not sure which is more easily found, but lots of markets them.
*globally
They are kind of seedy -- right? They grow wild next to our home and I like them, but I don't care much for the big seeds.
be careful handling prickly pears. Even if the large spines are brushed off, their can be tinny thorns still left over that can give pretty annoying splinters.
The prickly pear plant (Opuntia) beside the fruit, tunas, also have edible pads that can be eaten as a vegetable. Once the skins including the spines and glochids are removed the pads can be cut up into strips and cooked. The nopales taste like tart green beans. Opuntias can have wicked spines. I recommend growing spineless varieties of Opuntias for that reason. You still have to deal with the glochids which are fine hairs that can burrow into the skin when preparing the nopales and tunas for eating.
The tropical fruits we get in the grocery stores here in Michigan are either under ripe or have passed it by. I started growing white strawberries(pineberries) last year and until this year, I would have agreed with you that they weren't that special. At most the few I had last year tasted like strawberries. This year I had some that did have hints of pineapple flavor. Store bought fruit usually tastes like it was grown in the store. I look forward to your next video.
Thanks! Interesting to hear that you at least got some hints of pinapple taste in your pineberries
We just pick them all the time where I live (Californians everywhere have these in their yards) yay for edible landscaping!
Prickly pears make great jelly and prickly pear lemonade.
Have you reviewed the yellow dragon fruit yet? The one that has spikes on the fruit itself? If not, I suggest you find one while you're in south america. They are RIDICULOUSLY sweet. I love them so much!
I did a comparison of red, white and yellow dragonfruit a while back, do a search on my channel if you want to check it out. they are delicious!
Weird Explorer woohoo! I'll check it out for sure!!
my family made a sorbet of this growing up, it was so so good.
There's some plants on the vacant lot next door. I am going to have to try them.
glad to see you enjoying your fruits! love your videos!
thanks Vinyl!
You just grabbed it barehanded :O
That's gonna itch and sting for a long time :I
I avoided touching the prickly bits on this one, those things are the worst
I love prickly pears
I remember eating a prickly pear and getting some of those microscopic needles of death on my tongue, it didn't feel good
Those things are the worst, I wonder if the wheelbarrow fruit ladies are immune to that pain from dealing with the prickers all day or have a special technique
Jared buddy you gotta try Gummy Bear fruit!
I know! Its grown in Bolivia as well, but it wasn't in season when I was there. Hopefully I'll get my hands on some soon.
2:00 rokakaka fruit
I really love prickly pear. Are orange ones better than the green ones? I feel like the red ones don't taste that great.
I thought so. I've had the green ones a few times and I found them bland. Could just be how ripe they were compared to this one though.
By the way, can you try wild grape leaves? You will find them in the wild. I tried them and they taste very tangy and good. It has a tiny taste of grape. It's so nice! It's nice to have it once in a while!
Also, love your vids!
Thanks. will try and track some down :)
Also, make sure you are sure they are grape leaves
Can you try also the smaller ones.....the fruits of the Nopalea cochenillifera. Give us more details. Just a request. Thanks
did you eat just fresh fruit?? or do you eat juice fruit?? in my country a lot of fruits must be eaten as juice to taste good, sure, you can eat "out of the tree" but are better as juice, for example, have you ever tried guayaba? Curuba? nispero? (the last one is hideous when is "fruit", it's much better as juice), borojó, and so on.
I am after all fruits! If its something intended to be enjoyed as a juice, I'll try and track the juice down as well. I have had those except for borojo.
I have these out front and only realized now! Dang im lucky.
hmm what a fruitful information today i hope you can find all kind of fruit in this world (fruit with spikes really a wild card sometimes you get good one or interesting one like durian XD)
There are thousands of varieties of fruit out there, but I'm working on it :)
We get the red ones commonly here in like fruit and veg stores but they are seasonal
Like the ones youv had
Also first i guess 😂😂 didnt notice
These are my favorite fruit ever
I didn't know that there was an orange variety of those. Please do a review on Thimble Berries.
Haven't had thimble berries yet, they're on the list though :)
super great channel
thanks!
Hi Jared,
Any chance of seed of the orange, tasty variety? I have benches and benches of cactus seedlings.
Also, my heirloom grapes are coming ripe.
Delicatessen, Triumph, Golden Muscat, Muscat Hamburg, etc.
Let me know if you want to try.
(Unless you're out of the country.)
Hey Mark, I've been back in the US for ages so I don't have seeds for this one unfortunately. I'm always down for trying some new fruits, send me an email and we can work out details: contortionjared@hotmail.com
Thanks!
You should try coyol! It's a very interesting but fruit that tastes like coconut but way smaller!
I had to look that one up, so interesting! Looks like if I want that fruit, I need to go to Paraguay... hmm... maybe next time I go to South America.
Tunnaaaaa
This has nothing to do with this video but I finally tried the mangosteen and it was delicious! 😭🔥
Nice! Yeah mangosteens are the best
Weird Explorer hell yea they are I totally agree with you!!
Hey!
yo!
How's it going W.E
good!
