I tried these in my neighborhood after watching this video... Raisin like, with a pinch of savory herbs and just a wee bit of musky funk.
I have lantana in my yard. I’ll have to start paying attention to the fruits.
me too
These grow outside my old work place! Everyone told me that they were poisonous and not to touch them!
Will you be tasting them now Haruko?, the flowers grow here but are used for landscaping more than anything..
Same here , my mom used to have it on her backyard
Considering the pesticides that may be on them, there's a decent chance of it being poisonous.
The flowers and leaves are highly toxic to humans. That might be why people assume the berries are poisonous too.
I would not try. Although video shows it does not kill immediately!
I have a huge lantana growing in my yard, and was told the berries are poisonous, yet the bird love them. Now, after your video, not so sure, and next year will be a brave explorer and try some! Would send you a picture of the plant as it is probably 5 feet in circumference, but, alas, no way to do this here.
In Haiti we use the leafs for medicine. We make tea with it, it's good for high blood pressure . You can add sugar
Thank you I didn't know that.
how do you make the tea... from dried leaves ?
I wouldn't recommend it. Parts of this plant are poisonous
Thank You!!! Mercí. I Have High Blood Pressure.
@@troyesivan4416 I thought all of it was!
I grew up with these growing as ornamentals around my house and I used to eat them at the dismay of my friends. lmao.
the flowers are beautiful and the second fruit too oh this is so amazing and great channel
The flavor that always comes up for me with Lantana is like sweet iced tea.
I like questionable fruits
I ate that lil black fruit back then when I still a kid 40 yrs ago. it's sweet and grow at the bush around the village. nowdays it's hard to find one. cheers from Malaysia
come to australia and make a Lantana business!
Had no idea, used to work with these (Lantana) in a plant nursery, of course they were being sold strictly as an ornamental mostly for landscaping. Had no idea, much like with eleagnus pungens that these were edible.
I used to eat these as a kid. I just found your channel and I love it! Several of the fruits are reminding me to my childhood.
is there a limit on how much you could eat?
like how i can only eat so many pounds of guavas
My goodness, a bonus fruit review!
Hold on to your seats!
Planted decoratively all over Shenzhen. Lived here 7 years and they always seem to be flowering; just today for the first time saw one fruiting and immediately thought I had to see if Jared has reviewed them.
You survived eating them, so tomorrow I'll have to pick a few to bring home.
yeah it's still questionable on its edibility, so I'd be cautious trying it just in case
@@WeirdExplorer Oh absolutely, and I appreciate the reply.
I ended up only eating a few of them; less than you did even. Got a good idea how they tasted, which is very similar to the scent of the flowers, and I was satisfied. The berries don't exactly present themselves to eating very many as the seed is sizable and surprisingly hard.
Some day you'll have to find your way to Missouri around April to try a few varieties of mulberries I've stumbled upon, with one tasting comparable to watermelon, and another like bananas and green grapes!
I forage wild fruits as a hobby, and stumbled upon many notible things including white raspberries that taste like brisk lemon tea, maypops, pawpaws, saskatoons, native plums and many other fruits!
They grow like crazy where i live, had no idea you could eat that
d a r k n e s s fuck ive been eating green fruit and leaves for a week now, no wonder i haven't been shitting right and my vision is fading
We used to eat them when we were kids. They are not very good.
Us children, we loved this plant because beautiful flowers and all the insects you could find there.
I didn't know it's poisonous, you would really have to eat a lot.
I've been eating this with my friends since we were kids and I still eat it when I see the riped one ....
Jared- You still need to try Thimbleberries, watermelonberries, huckleberries. Maybe a trip to the Intermountain West/Pacific Northwest is in order this summer? All of those berries are found here in Utah but they're more plentiful in states like Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington.
Chigi!, what do thimble berries and watermelon berries look like?..I've never heard of them.
chigimonky salal berries and Oregon grapes too. Salal berries are good. Almost blueberryish
I thought he already tasted oregon grapes in some video a while back? He said they were very tart if I recall.
Huckleberries are delightful, I've tasted them in forests of Wyoming, Oregon, and Washington state. I think the best ones were the ones from Oregon. I was working at Crater Lake National Park. Head out of the park going South West towards Medford. There's a large pull out on the south side of the road labeled something like "Sno Park". There are some little roads that go off into the forest from the right pull out. I think one of them is labeled "Huckleberry Trail". It's a dirt road. I found a huge number of huckleberry bushes along that road. Mid June to early July is about the time of year to find ripe huckleberries if I recall correctly. Watch out for bears, they want to eat huckleberries just as much as we do.
In Wyoming, inside the Grand Teton National Park, there's a trail heading north from the Jenny Lake area that has huckleberry bushes along the way (emerald lake trail? i can't remember). But there is too much shade from all the trees so the berries were not as tasty as the ones in Oregon.
I'd love to try those! Foraged regional fruits are some of the trickiest things to find. Hopefully I'll get to track them down soon.
chigimonky Are watermelon berries the same as green gooseberries? They do look similar.
Lantana is an invasive weed in Australia.
Jen Higgins I remember the Australian by the name.
Then again, what ISNT an invasive species in Australia?
@@Bullboy_Adventures marsupials reptiles and birds, hahah
This is so informative and lowkey mind blowing. Like everyone else in the comments, this grows in abundance around me. The benefits on the herbal side of life is superb. Will be making salves and teas with this.
You've got to try Leycesteria formosa. Pheasant berry. I'll do a video on them when they are back in season here.
i use to eat when i was child,i like its test:)
Imagine that, you can eat the berries. As most people say, they grow all over the place, some places use them as hedging. Never ever thought of eating them, always considered them to be poisonous...and the plant itself has a very strong "bushy" smell.
We have these growing wild where I park at work. I Googled it and read they were poisonous. I might muster up the courage to try it.
Speaking of pouteria, I was fortunate enough to have eggfruit for the first time on Maui a couple of weeks ago. I found two differently shaped ones at a market, there was the classic big heart shaped one, then ones that looked like miniature honey mangoes, with a more pink color skin. The smaller ones were fantastic and are definitely one of my favorite exotic fruits I’ve had!
Nice! Egg fruits are great, but yeah a lot of variation between trees. Glad you got to try a good one.
lantanas smell so funky i love it
Lol my little brother had to get his stomach pumped after eating those as a kid when he saw me foraging for blackberries. Doctors thought it was going to kill him XD if they were wrong my parents are probably gonna be pissed
Lantana is all over the place here in Florida. I've never thought to try the berries. I'm all about the Sea Grapes though!
Ooh, I haven't had sea grapes yet. I'll have to take a look next time I'm out that way.
That bonus fruit looked good!, custardy..lol
I love your friends laugh. So funny.
I grew up in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe. It was illegal to grow Lantana because it is poisonous to cattle. When I was a kid I did eat the fruit without any adverse effects. Maybe it's only the leaves that are poisonous.
From this channel I’ve learned all my moms ornamental plants have edible fruit. All my life I thought Oregon grapes were highly toxic! Now I put them on my cereal. With tons of sugar of course.
ɪ've had these growing in my garden for years now and always thought about eating the little berries but everyone says they're poisonous.
Great video as always. :) Never knew lantana produced edible fruits!
Have you ever tried Black Hog berries from Mississippi? They grow on the outer limbs of a grayish colored tree.
I haven't!
Lantana...the bane of my existence.
We have that in growing at the back of my former school during my grade school. I thought they were weeds. I even laugh at my cousin because he included it in his front yard landscape cause I was thinking they were just weeds with cute flowers. We even play with the seeds because you can use it like chalk and write on boards or the floor. I was even told they where flowers for the dead. Hahaha
Lantana, a flowering plant that also gives you berries. What more could you want?
I thought the fruit was poisonous when I was a child as were warn not to eat it. Well I actually propagate the plant. But am learning on your video it can be eaten.
🤔🤔🤔
In Jamaica it is considered a weed. However I noticed that many nursery is now growing and selling it which is a great move .
I used to eat them when I was a kid I don't see them these days I also used to suck on the flower which tastes like honey
Lantana Fruit. Wow. Like The Musician...Santana...Lol.
Hey there!
I am from India ❤️
And I want to tell you a story regarding that plant. Their was one lantana tree/plant in my backyard and we (I and my friends) used to throw this ripen fruit at each other as it leave a stain mark on the cloth 🤣
And literally we loved it or we just break the fruit and drop it on the floor and just crushing it with our feet. 🤣
And now I came to know that we can eat this!
yeah, i remember i use to eat those as a kid. i just walk past them now.
Interesting. I have never ending Lantana plants growing in my yard in Arizona. Always wondered about eating the fruit. They look kind of like really shiny blackberries. I see birds eating the fruit and spreading the seeds around everywhere. The plants' stems are very scratchy and irritating, so I'm constantly trying to kill these plants.
With lucuma you can eat the skin too.
You can also eat berries from the fire bush
Pretty cool
have you tried miracle berry? it's supposed to make sour foods sweet!
yep! search my channel, I did that one a while ago
I never thought you could eat them. they're everywhere in Vegas. I just steer away from them since lantanas smell so strong.
Loving your videos, found your like 2 months or less and just think you'd doing things right :) If you wanna make more money get companies to let you affiliate in the UK these fruit
Had one of these come up as a weed this year
I don't know if this is edible, hahaa.. we had ton of this out there in wildwood
Very excellent!! Hey me weird have you had dolls eye since you’re doing poison berries now give it a shot but spit it out!
Those look pretty cool, but no thank you haha.
Weird Explorer they apparently taste good too
Is this for real? In the Philippines we have this flowers too, but I dont know if you could eat the fruits of it... Is it safe?
Lantana irritates my skin, I eat wild foods and would not have considered this food. It is not a nice smelling plants but it does attract butterflies.
These look like myrtle fruit. Have you tried those? I just read an ancient text saying people would eat them
Where was this filmed?
i did some further research and a LOT of people maintain that these are toxic to humans. It may depend on speceis? Anyway, it's still too concerning for me. Theyre everywhere in tucson.
Wait weren't like lantanas supposed to be poisonous????
You can eat those?
I have smelled Lantana berries and they smelled good.
I've eaten lantana fruit before and I'm not dead... Strange how you guys didn't eat the Lucuma skin I always eat the skin I don't find it to be off putting.
Donovan Vasta nah its more like it's to small and too suspicious plus not many people had high curiosity level to randomly pick a fruit and eat it...
haha I should clarify what I meant by my comment. I actually have eaten the fruit and haven't died. I eat them every time I walk past a lantana.
When you eat the lantana fruits, did you eat the seeds too? Or did you spit out the seeds?
F P actually not sure I haven't eaten them in a while. I don't remember paying any attention to the seed so I probably ate it.
Have you done a tonka bean video? Is a bean even a fruit?
Nope. I've had them dried before. Technically they're seeds not fruit, but maybe if I find a fresh one I can do a video about it.
I always thought the berries were poisonous
Aren’t lantana poisonous
Rosanna Rosanna D'Lantana.
I gotta make it relevant to us OLD people!
Similar to juniper?
Poisonous or not, lantana berries aren’t that tasty. You’re right that they taste kind of like raisins or dates. They’re great plants to be utilized for hummingbird and butterfly gardens, but I’d much rather eat something that’s actually delicious.
I thought they were alright. On their own they left a lot to be desired, but if I had them in my yard I'd make jam or something.
The greed puds poison
Tomorrow. Good Lord Willing...I Will Go looking for Different Fruits and Vegetables to Try.
I think I've heard it referred to as "chicken droppings flower" in the Hokkien dialect, here in Singapore. They smell bad.
really? haha. I honestly didn't notice.
Pretty faint until you really stick your nose into them and whiff. The leaves are the source of a citrusy smell they say?
Like
Its a invasive species in India.
are you still alive bro ?
ginger has a toe thumb
people are so afraid of a lil poison in their fruit... its good for you!
Many of the fruits people claim are poisonous are only poisonous in large amounts, even in medium quantities won't do much other than give you mild stomach issues.
Diminish the copetition of fruit hunters? Funny, fruit hunting is either a community, or exclusive club. Go figure?
It is all over here, but never eat. We think its poisonous.
Keep away from pets and children ... Lantana.
Mine looks great and today saw couple berries.
This kind of flower just stinks and hence we call it toilet flower and really will stay away from it and will never dream of eating its fruit.
Hey this plant is toxic.
