Recently I tasted an unknown berry like fruit In southern part of India which was sweet in texture after consuming I felt like all of my blood are getting warm. Which fruit it could be ?
I know lots of haition fruits in the swap shop in florida, theres so many exotic fruits. I'm also half haition. Things like these little berries that taste like mango and berries that taste like coconut. The mango berries are green and they are pronounces ken-nent I think or key-nt? I also have a tea plant my grandma gave me. Its a haition plant you can grow and use the leaves as tea. Also dont be suprised if your arm itches for a split second when you touch the leaves, also the flowers are pink with green buds at the bottom. When adult they have a woody trunk. They are kinda like a tree but a plant. Haition mangoes are also HUGE. SO good. Theres also these plants near the beaches in southern florida that grow berries that taste and look like grapes. They arent grapes though.
how you comented 5 days before today?
Hey, you still got a big black purpley booger seed thing from that fruit on your lip.
@@isaquedopao6667 that's what i thought
“The seeds can be used to make a flower”.
Me:” no shit it’s a seed”.
…
Also me:”oh flour”
Lmao, no shit sherlock
DUDE! I thought the same thing and didn't realize what he meant until half way through the video 🤣🤣
😆🤣🥰
The problem with that fruit is finding it. Animals are usually all over them when they ripen. I bet they gotta REALLY PROTECT those in their garden.
Yeah, everytime i go out to see if i can forrage some, they are gone as soon as they rippen. Bugs, birds, rodents, everyone wants it
Yeah I feel like lots of desert fruits/veggies would be a hot commodity for any life there.
That may be why it's not really something anybody talks about out here; this species is everywhere where I live, but I never even knew it had a fruit that people could eat, let alone a delicious one. I'm very interested to eat it, but it's such an arid environment I actually do feel bad taking something from the animals who rely on it when I can simply eat something else. I will keep on the lookout, though, and perhaps make a trade with some other fruit if I find a good pod. I think I will also grow some in my back yard; apparently they must be cross-pollinated in order to produce fruit, but they grow fairly quickly. Maybe by next year I can have my own stash of this fruit.
@@radium_habit6869 Prickly Pear is avoided by some critters, but others try their best to get it lol.
Ive got lots of yucca plants, theyre very protected and they dont even want to fruit :(
I imagine oven roasting would be better at caramelizing the sugars, the microwave is more akin to steaming.
It seems unlikely but the microwave absolutely can brown and caramelize things. I know it's counterintuitive but it can keep adding heat past boiling point - steaming can't. (Unless you superheat the steam)
Flowers are pretty good stuffed with cheese, seasoned, and fried
Sounds like stuffed squash blossoms bet it takes good,cool. 🤤
Doesn't every thing lol
Yup! My favorite is breaded zucchini flower stuffed with goat cheese. Nothing like it!
the immature flower stalk is also really delicious sautéed with butter, onions, and peppers!
Yucca flowers add a "ranch dressing" hint to salad.
0:50 “after several noise complaints, they’ve stopped being annoying”.
Impossible
I think they might have been kicked out. They are undoubtably still being annoying somewhere.
@@WeirdExplorer *undoubtedly
Glad to hear it, my ex had horrible neighbours that I ended up having to deal with, and I'm horrible with confrontation :/
@@thexbigxgreen bro are you really out here correcting peoples spelling in a comment section. You are assuredly as annoying as Jared's neighbors.
@@WeirdExplorer Do you still have neighbors that kick out their kid into the hallways to scream and cry?
@@-jank-willson those neighbors moved out! they left and then these new mofos moved in.
a sweet and delicious fruit that has the consistency of jam and the prettiest royal purple color? wow, nature is so incredible!
Was so happy to see that 'contains paid promotion' badge- and like the sponsor too! Really glad to see you getting opportunities like this 🙌
Thanks! Since passing 100k subscribers, I've been getting a lot of offers from sponsors. However I only accept ads for things that people that watch my channel would be interested in. Wren was a good fit and for a good cause too!
Brilliant to hear! I've just been onto the link, had a look around and signed up to offset 50% (nice to have that option as it's a bit more affordable for me right now!) I've been sceptical of a lot of these kinds of carbon offset schemes but I'm pretty impressed and encouraged by what I see. I do a lot of work on our company's sustainability too so I've emailed myself the link to check out their business scheme....interesting!
@@WeirdExplorer Dang, I was hoping for some Raid Shadow Legends excitement.
@@EvanBoyar 😆🤣😂
I audibly laughed when you put a "safe" pointer showing the giant knife.
I find a lot of these a few miles outside Goodsprings. Just have to get to them before the Fire Geckos and Radscorpions do.
For snacking, they beat honey mesquite pods and mutfruit, that's for sure.
... Just gotta check to make sure there ain't any bloat fly maggots in it unless ya want a chest bursting surprise, eh? >)':^/
Can always make some bloat fly sliders if you're desperate. Benny isn't gonna shoot himself.
Bruh the only necessary food for me is stimpak, and copious amount of chems
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for... some delicious yucca fruit??
I’m stuck in a desert called New Mexico where we have yuccas EVERYWHERE. I had no idea any of it was edible.
depends on the species
Better watch out for that nasty UV radiation.
@@Pseudoplasmagore And the killer bees and the rattlesnakes and the lack of water and the history-making heat (will make you history). But the skies are BLUE there. Worth seeing. Carefully!
@@-jank-willsonI’d love to propagate this 🥺
Came here to say the same. Totally gonna look for it in my neighbor's yard yuccas.
Planning a permaculture food forest type thing in my predominantly-desert home state, when I eventually settle down, and this is something I’ll definitely have to propagate!
We LOVE to eat yucca flowers but had no idea they made fruit. Always learning something new here.
A very important plant out here in Arizona, highly recommend coming out here to rural AZ. We have saguaro, prickly pear, barrel cactus fruits, berries, tons of edible plants, and I've even seen wild chiltepin plants around.
Saguaro is very good :)
What about peyote?
A lot of cactus fruit can give you diarrhea if you eat too much, but yeah it would be cool if Jared could do a whole series on various cactus fruits
@@mhm6 duuuuuude
@@mhm6 I've heard peyote fruits are nice but they don't grow wild in AZ, Texas yes. Peyote and saguaros are both legally protected from wild harvesting though, private property with permission is okay
I’ve been watching for about 2 years now and I love that you have ads now. I’m glad to see you move up in the RUclips world and make money off these amazing reviews. Thanks for always making good relaxing content!
My grandma grew a yucca plant and she usually couldn't get much fruit off of it before the squirrels/chipmunks/various rodents got to it. On the rare occasion she could, the jam she made with it was amazing.
The root vegetable Yuca is the common name in Spanish speaking countries. In English its called Cassava. Its used to make tapioca among many other dishes.
And funnily the cassava name comes from the Arawak word "cazabe" or "casabe" a native flatbread made with the flour of the yuca root. Cazabe is still prepared in many parts of South America and the Caribbean.
I, for a change know it both as cassava and manioc.
Yep in the carribean is also called Casabe but I mainly know it as yuca, had Casabe bread once as a kid and it was good.
But the plant this fruit comes from is NOT cassaba, if im correct?
@@drakonanta you are CORRECT.In spanish cassava is yuca,these fruit is yucca
The only time since the birth of ad-reads on RUclips that I have actually clicked the link and looked into it. Thanks for taking such a worthwhile sponsor
Chance and Jack are very good boys. Cool fruit, can't wait to try.
The weirdos on that show Naked and Afraid seem to like finding yucca plants, they eat it but I imagine they also use it to wash up after pooping in the woods for a month with no TP.
Meanwhile I have learned to predict your ratings like 75% of the time, just your reaction is so telling. That's why I love this channel.
Love from Germany.
Just signed up to Wren under your affiliate link. First time I've ever actually signed up for something because of a RUclips ad
I'm watching this and I can't stop thinking of that one cyanide and happiness bit. It's a naturally occurring a sac full of jam. Ted Bear would approve.
I've lived in AZ my whole life and never knew those plants have sweet fruit.
I've honestly never seen a fruiting yucca myself
Animals absolutely destroy them. The couple times I’ve been on foraging trips while out there the fruits had already been bitten and torn asunder by birds and such. 🤷♂️
This looks like it would be fun to make a wine out of!
Oooh yeah ✌🏻
Probably more like a mead since it has a high sugar content 😉
BEWARE! Yucca aloifolia is unique in this genus of about 150 species in being bee pollinated and having fleshy fruit. It’s also unusual for being native to the Southeastern US. Almost all of the other species are In the western half of the continent, are moth-pollinated, and have dry mature fruit. Most important for the squeamish, the moths lay eggs on the flowers, and their larvae (maggotlike caterpillars) eat half of the developing fruit, leaving their frass (poop) behind. Not quite blackberry jam!
I looked up the study( only a single study that showed honeybees pollinate this?) but i'm not convinced that bees are the main pollinators of the plant, it doesn't make sense for non native european bees to be the only pollinator observed, the main native pollinator could still be the yucca moths, or some other native insect. Where i live there are no yucca moths and i don't believe i've ever seen any Yucca aloifolia set fruit, i'll definitely take a closer look in the future.
The moth larvae would be excellent food
@@quitlife9279 the southwest US has many species of native solitary bees. Most are digger bees that nest underground away from the heat.
the needle point on the leaves and the strings in the leaves can be used as a needle and thread to sew up clothing in a pinch. Our yucca flowered but never mad fruit.
I really like the music in the background your neighbors added for you. Its like being at a dinner party.
Damn man. I don't miss apartment living at all. Sounds like the state fair is happening below you lmao. Best of luck to you.
I bet yucca fruit would make a great tasting wine. Dark purple, sweet, a little bitterness to balance out the sour.
Definitely! I'd love to try that
Ocotillo wine and Yucca wine are absolutely on my list. Tried prickly pear wine and it was... underwhelming despite the overwhelming thorns.
We have either Yucca Glauca or Yucca Baccata and it's just setting fruits now. The sheep LOVE THEM, flowers and fruits both.
when we took the sunset tour at White Sands National Park our guide was a retired entomologist. He showed us that there are actually several species of yucca plants and that each one has a different species of moth that lives with it, pollinating it.
I only knew this existed before this video because its in a game I play(7daystodie). In the game you can eat it raw, cooked, or make a smoothie.
And it is satisfyingly squishy! Thanks for squishing it at the exact moment I really wanted you to! Fantastic 😊! 🍠
I love seeds in my jam! Thanks for showing us!!!
Just this past weekend, I tried to explain to someone the difference between a yucca and a yuca. They are completely unrelated. Ironically, the person who didn’t know lives on Yucca Street.
This is the good thing about making a fruit channel random never heard of Fruits can appear from time to time.
have you reviewed the assyrian plum (cordia myxa) also known as the lasura fruit? its really good with a weird texture and has a flavor similar to a persimmon, and when you eat it, it has snotty like goo in the center, from where i live its called Bambar and its really good i highly recommend it.
So that’s the NM state plant and in this area they are growing wild everywhere. I have always thought they were ugly. I have never heard about any uses for this plant. I’m going to have see what I can do with it now. Thanks for the great info.
They actually have many uses from soap to rope making to fruit & seeds
They grow here; they were popular as landscaping plants decades ago. Sometimes the only sign a house used to exist will be a yucca plant marking where the driveway once was. However, they produce no fruit because the moths that pollinate them didn't follow them here. I may try to hand pollinate some.
Goth fruit. Also I love that you put "safe" while holding that knife like a serial killer
You can make shoes and even fish hooks and also can eat the blossoms before they fruit, and the stalks have a lot of sugar water in them too before they get too woody. I saw Bob Hansler's channel on your clips & I'm already subbed to him lol, he doesn't post as often these days because of health issues but everyone should still go check out his channel!
Cant wait to watch this video, I can't believe theres yucca fruit
mmm jam fruit. sounds nice :D
Hey, nice video!
Too bad I was late with the chilling to reduce bitterness.
(Unless you had stored it in the fridge)
We should have more fruits you haven't covered yet in the next few months. Will keep you posted.
Thanks for the mention!
Do you know what the species of this yucca is? All of the yucca fruits that I've found go from hard and green to dry and dropping their seeds.
That "New York New York" music whenever neighbors are mentioned lol
I’ve been trying to look this fruit up for a while but I would keep getting results for yuca. Thanks for the clarification!
Its probably better to search the genus name for this one. That extra C is too much for the internet to handle. 😂
@@WeirdExplorer kinda like bergamot, you could definitely do a "not yucca" moment
In google, if you type a "-" before a word, it'll remove all results with that word. In google, type "yucca -yuca". Google may say "did you mean-", or you can click Tools > all results > verbatim
@@sgtluka thanks!
Wow, never even thought! Great video. Now I wanna try this stuff out.
those things are all over the place in Terrell County TX where I used to deer hunt with my dad. I used to pick wild prickly pears but had no idea multiple parts of this plants were/are edible. Now I really want to try.
This is my new totem fruit. Weird but well-rounded and helpful...
Bro I used to watch this channel back when he had like 1,000 subscribers. He would usually only get like 500 or so views on his videos. I haven’t watched his videos in forever but this just randomly popped up on my feed. My man now has 250k subscribers. Congrats on the glow up
Yucca and Yuca, kinda like Yarrow and Tarrow, completely different plants, but have similar names...
Hi! Its sooo satisfactory to watch your videos.
it would be interesting if you could compare more classic berries for example raspberries, they are available as red, yellow, black, purple.
there are many who claim that Rubus arcticus is the tastiest berry in the world.
I would like to hear your opinion on that;)
also, if you want to make flour of the seeds, it is best to harvest dry mature pods.
Yucca flowers are great in salads 👀❤
If your neighbors blast the bass again try applying a Hi-Pass filter (this omits any low frequncies below a certain frequency) with a high Q and turning it up to the highest frequency that doesn't suck all the bass out of your voice. Somewhere between 120 and 240 hz should do it depending on the curve of your EQs Hi-Pass. You can get rid of quite a bit of that bass usually without effecting the voice too much.
You must love your neighbours ;) And could you ferment the fruit, or turn it into alcohol. Being so sugary, I'd bet it would be potent. Whatever you can do with the fruit, have a good rest of the week :)
Awesome video! This one I’ll have to try!
You and your silver spoon🤣✌🏻💜
That's really interesting how that species makes a berry. My Yucca filamentosa just dries and releases dry seeds to the air.
That is exactly what mine does.
Id definitely love to see some other ways of preparing this, really cool fruit
As a jam connoisseur I need to try this 😎
The beast of yucca flats was the best old movie clip I've ever seen ahahaha
man. you passion for fruits will go on forever. love the content
I almost had a heart attack at 3:37
The shoutout made me chuckle. That was adorable.
I loooove the clash of textures in a fruit !!
Unrelated to this video, but I decided to plant cape gooseberries in my garden after seeing your video, just tried my first one and it was delicious! Maybe a little underripe because it was pale yellow rather than orange but I love it. Can't wait to have more, though not sure how much of a yield I'll get.
My mom's yucca just bloomed this year so this is gonna be fun to show her!
This video has great dark aesthetics, I love jam and this fruit seems incredible.
But will it ketchup?? This seems like a really good candidate to concoct clever condiments.
2:10 Bob Hansler!!
I have yucca plants growing like crazy in my yard had no idea you could eat the fruit
Wow! Seems like Yum!
I have yuccas in my front garden as landscape specimens. I haven't seen any fruit yet, but I know what to look out for now. Sometime when travel to Australia is possible again, you ought to come here in our Spring and try red quandongs . They are a native fruit, very high in vitamin C. The fruit is like a loose rind around a round, pitted seed. When ripe, it tastes both sweet and slightly tart and very rich, really delicious. They are hard to get commercially, because the trees are hemiparasitic. You can make excellent pies from fresh or dried quandongs.
You need to slow bake it over many hours as it has inulin like yucca and agave roots, stems and stalks.
It's also not a desert Yucca, it's native to the Southeast!
Oh! Good info - thanks!
This is a pretty interesting fruit. I wish i could grow this plant.
you can use audio processing to remove extraneous noise from your sound recordings via EQs and gates.
I don't know about using a food mill to get the seeds out. I've read about someone trying to mill some baked Banana Yucca (Yucca baccata) and it resulted in the food mill launching the seeds out with great force.
Of course, Yucca aloifolia does seem to have smaller seeds so maybe I'd work.
I love your channel. Interesting stuff. Thanks
love that goth lil seat youve got there, really cool, its my taste
I love it!
Today I grabbed a Vietnamese drink I'd never seen before because it was flavored by a fruit I ALSO never had seen before. Called "Sarsi" or "Sarsaparilla", not sure if you've covered it but it has a very interesting, root-beer-like, cinnamon-like flavor to it. And it originally grows in Mexico and the US
I loved drinking sarsaparilla (soda pop) as a kid - it makes me think of the old west.
Wow looks interesting , thumb up for your "documentary "videos 👍🏻💐
All of his videos are like whole movies, these are amazing!
Looks delicious!
When it comes to survival forage, I've found that there's a difference between edible and "eat-able". Some things are certainly edible... but you really don't want to. I'm looking at you Noni. Thankfully, yucca is both.
2:08 My man Bob Hansler!! He's exactly who I thought of when clicking this video
Seeing your video reminds me heavily, why i chose to move out of the city. Nice weird fruit btw, love your videos!
Looks like you spent all your money on that fruit and now you're having to use a hamburger bun for toast LOL
"Clash of textures". Thats a good one.
I love that wren. I'm gonna check it out.
Yucca filamentosa was a common ornamental in the middle of Illinois when I was growing up. I don’t know if its fruit is edible or barely more than seed capsules…
Anole, the lizard at least, is three syllables… I’ve heard uh no lay and uh no lee as pronunciations and I’m not sure which is usual.
ive only heard it read as "uh-no-L"
I've only ever heard it as AN-ol, which could get pretty embarrassing to someone with a heavy accent.
Seem like the eastern ones are dry.
filamentosa can be eaten when green, but isn’t much good. pretty bitter.
ive heard it as Ah - No - Li, but thats my Irish view 😂
Freaking heck, this fruit seems perfect for me. You describe literally some of my favorite flavors here. Bitter, molasses, blueberry, not sour... where the heck can I get some??
Worth noting, I don't use the book of faces, because they are way too manipulative and creepy.
Plant it on well drained soil, particularly where you need a rosette of daggers on which to impale your enemies (seriously, Yucca leaves are dangerous). Yucca baccata (datil or banana yucca) has a reputation for good fruit, though Jared apparently has Y. aloifolia.
You have to murder half the wildlife in the Sonoran and Mojave deserts just to glimpse the Yucca fruit. They vanish in a blink.
Wait what's the book of faces? I looked it up but I'm confused how the thing I found relates to your comment. I'll shut up now.
@@baumi8125 probably a joke on facebook
@@BrandanLee bet
I got a yucca plant off the side of the road a few months ago and forgot about it, but i went outside yesterday to mow the lawn and saw that it now has a 4 foot stem, which surprised me because i didnt know what it was and i thought it was just the ground leaves like hasta, im now even more excited for summer
I LOVE bittersweet foods. I'd probably love this.
If we have to listen to the neighbors somebody needs to talk to them about their taste in music.😂😂
I have yucca growing all around my parent's house. Never would have though of eating it :)
It looks just like the old fashioned (no added pectin) blueberry jam I make, and similar consistency. Black until you spread it on something.
Jared I gotta stop watching your stuff I’m running out of space in my garden 😭
Yucca grows wild where I live. Now I have to go find some of the fruit.
