I am currently living in Minas Gerais, Brazil, where they are native. In November, when it is the Jabuticaba season, they have festivals dedicated to this fruit. I love them. You can eat the skin too, very healthy, full of anti-oxidants. Here they make everything out of Jabuticaba, licor, jam, mustard and other condiments. Very tasty. It really is such a shame that they are not more widely available. If you want to grow them though, be prepared to wait 10-15 years before the tree starts producing fruit... 😅
I'm from Brazil and I grew up eating jabuticaba, we used to eat them directly from the tree, that is if the birds didn't eat them first lol, and they do go bad very easily, so the best way to preserve them is by making jam, and to be honest the jam is even better than the fruit, the peel adds a tiny bit of astringency and acidity and so many interesting flavors that balance out the sweetness, it becomes a beautiful magenta color and is the best jam possible, me and my dad always make many jars of it when it is in season.
I have to tell you I have never heard of the other varieties, I am only used to the red ones, but I would love to try them someday.
I don't know if you are going to see this since this is an older video but I gotta tell you that your channel is truly one of my favorites on RUclips, fruit has always fascinated me, i am a very curious guy and seeing all these flavors that have influenced so many cultures and peoples memories, the way same way some did to mine, is truly beautiful, and it makes me eager to experience as much stuff as the world can offer, keep up the amazing work.
thanks for making this wonderful review! I need to send you more rare fruits asap! Annona globiflora? Garcinia gardneriana? Myrciaria trunciflora? Myrciaria glazioviana? Myrciaria strigipes? Eugenia candolleana? Eugenia reinwardtiana? so many fruits...such little shelf life!
Thank you for the amazing fruit! Sure I'd love anything you can send. Just email me first so I know I'll be in town.
Thank you for sharing your interesting, rare fruits!
I'm Brazilian my self
in Brazil Jabuticaba is very popular and many people have in there back yard...I'm a big fan of this fruit is so good and yummy. ...
Thanks dear,
I'm also Jaboticaba fans.
If u can collected some seeds?
I tried a variety of jaboticaba with small fruits, like blueberry size. They were growing in Bradenton FL and I saved a bunch of seeds to plant.
To me they taste like a cross between a muscadine grape and a rambutan, i love these fruits!
Jabuticaba! We have these everywhere! Never been a huge fan of them, but it's kinda interesting to see it being labeled as "rare" lol
Nice review as always!!
I am brazilian , and even in Brazil is very hard to find. The big problem is the time that a tree from seed request to get harvest , sometimes over than 18 years .
@@sylvialehman not really, you can make them bear fruit after the 7th year approximately
I have 4 varieties growing in my backyard the Red , Sabara , gigante and Cambuca a rare one 2 of them fruiting the red fruits all year ,Sabara 4 times a year. I’ll be grafting the others to speed up production. They’re very well known lots of nurseries have them here in Tampa bay easy to grow . We love this fruit.thanks for the review
dude I've eaten so many of those here in brazil, is a super reliable fruit, because the tree gives a lot of it, and as long as it is being taken care of well, it gives almost the whole year. 70% of goes to waste.
you're lucky
That is why is very common to make jams and liquors from jaboticaba here in Brazil. My grampa used to have a big jaboticaba tree in his house.
I really want to grow these.
You definitely can! Just make sure the temperatures in your area are warm. If you live in a temperate climate, put them in pots. When it’s cold, bring them in. When it’s warm, put them outside.
That's the nice way to start with basic headlines. ... U improved... Well done
Throwback Thursday over here. Miss that old intro lol
That tune n your footage is atmospheric, evocative, of what I not sure but an impression is defo made!! Luv n wotnot from Tottenham London mkynorth
My Jabuticaba is flowering for the first time, Iam in Uruguay , very near of its native environment. You should try Rio grande cherry, also Uruguayan native. Great videos :)
I'd love to try that, I'll hopefully come across it sometime soon!
Hey, I grow many jaboticabas and some of them are near to fruit. Would you exchange some seeds?
Cool, what variety are you growing? I don't grow unfortunately, so I don't have any seeds unless I get fruit from a friend or market.
Mauricio Kolenc very nice! I remember when my Jabuticabeira flowered for the first time, it was a family celebration lol. But only took 5 years.
I have 3 trees grown from small shrubs. Haven’t gotten a fruit yet. Can’t wait!!
Also, even buying a tree will take years to fruit and they are cold sensitive.
Brazil Fruit!
So glad I’m not the only fruit nerd! I have to try these!
Jared, again another interesting and informative video. Can I make a suggestion to review Starfruit (Carambola) Thanks.
+David Graham Thanks for the suggestion. Starfruit is common enough that I would rather hold off until I have a few varieties to compare, but its certainly on the list for a future episode.
You can get them as bonsai. I plan to add one to my collection.
I didnt know that!
Their jam are by far the best over all others fruits.
I never tease them before. I would love to try some
Very cool.You got yourself a fruit connection friend ! Uh...do you know any gem cutters in NYC? It's not fruit but would help me to aquire some. Lol. And the fruit truck itself if these stones are as nice as I think they might be. ( My picture is one)
Hi There! This is the first review with multiple varieties of jaboticaba I have seen. Good Job! I am curious to know if you tried the skin? Were any acceptable?Thanks, I am subscribing, so I can visit you againP J the DivingTemptress
How nice! I do have two of those in trees atm at home. The myrciaria cauliflora and the vexator (blue Jaboticaba). Also have another one that's related.....yellow Jabotocaba called Cabelluda. Only one of them is fruiting atm. Fruit fan! Thanks for your vids
Very cool. I didn't know about the yellow Jaboticaba, I'll have to try and hunt that one down. :)
+Jared Rydelek. Yes! Know this guy which even has a special cultivar which is three times larger than the common variety. Fruit trees un my house baring fruits atm are: peanut butter fruit tree, Jaboticaba, lemondrop mangosteens, mulberries, starfruits, suriname cherry, coconuts, papayas, bananas "three var. atm", dragonfruits, Strawberry Guavas, Guavas, arac boi, ketemmbilla, chrysobalamis icaco, lemons, and had a small bunch of Gondo berries last week (first time the tree have fruit). Hopefully you get some new ideas from some of those. Do have many more fruits which have different seasons of course
Thats a fantastic collection. A few I haven't yet gotten to try too, I'll check them out online. Thanks for sharing.
I love Jaboticaba. I've only had the purple variety though.
you need to try matoa fruit ( from papua ,Indonesia ) one of my favorite fruit :)
Fucking love jaboticabas. They are so delicious, i used to eat them a lot as a kid but they arn't very readily available commercially.
Jared, me and my pinay wife love the videos you took eating philippine fruits. And she suggest that if you gonna go back to the philiippines you should try DATILES and MACOPA fruits. Thanks for your very informative educational vids about fruits around the world. Happy Holidays and prosperous New Year. And many more success in your exploration of weird fruits...
+Chuck Rich Thanks! Glad to hear you and your wife are enjoying the videos. I searched Datiles and dates came up, is that the same as what she means? If so: ruclips.net/video/ZX_YRHBayNo/видео.html
I haven't had the Philippine Macopa they weren't in season when I was there (I saw some rotten ones for sale though). I have however reviewed the rose apple, which is very closely related: ruclips.net/video/IwxkXAguZfE/видео.html
Thanks again!
+Jared Rydelek " DATELES" -- she said it's rounded and smaller about 1/3 the size of the grape. When ripe she said it's color is red-purple-brown, and it's very sugary sweet. It's a tree bearing on a branch fruit, it's fruit are not bunch together like grapes but individual. It's a very prolific and very common fruit tree which are grown all ever the phillipines. Jared thanks for your reply...
That is such an enjoyable word. Jaboticaba :3
I have had jaboticaba jam once in my life, I was probably 5 to 7 years of age. I still get cravings for it to this day.
Andrew Redican I had some earlier this year for the first time at the cabin stay farm I was at it was interesting, tried to have as much as I could.
Great channel. Congrats.
The jaboticaba fruits flavor is all in the skin
I dig your videos, thanks for making them. If you ever need/want a co-host or a cool chick with a weird name that eats weird fruit with you off camera, I'm your gal. ;)
Jared,
It is amazing how many different fruits, vegetables are on the earth. The variety and the bounty is so great, not many of us lucky to know by the name more than a small fraction and the opportunity to taste it.... But if they would watch your program, they would at least have an idea. Recently, I started to substitute teaching and when it turns to fruits or vegetables, I use some of your episodes. Here in Wasilla, we have a great diversity from all around the world, and some children recognize some fruits and veggies from their home cooking.
Nevertheless, the Plinia cauliflora grows here n the US too. Beside Florida, they try to cultivate them also in California, where I eat some years ago. I did not tolerate fresh grapefruit, after having about 20 in a row from the tree I had to switch and had been introduced to this absolutely fascinating creature of flora. First, I thought the poor tree is full with blisters, mind me I seen the results of the radiation after Chernobyl in 1986, so I was terrified for the plant. S.California, strange tree with pimples, and my head started to spin back to the morning when the air was "cold and sharp". Then, learned it i is healthy with fruits naturally grow on the trunk, and cover the entire tree. That is the second in the binominal name "caluliflora" the flowers are covering the trunk or stem, and so do the fruits. The first section in the Scientific name Plinia relates for one of the Pliny if I am right, but since plants are bearing female name so it is Plinia cauliflora. I loved it from the moment I tried, and wonder why do not produce more and make it a valuable trade crop. It is related to Myrciaria dubia, the camu-camu berry that are high in vitamin C, and other vitamins. Additionally these fruits are grow and get ripe and fresh in the south hemisphere when we have the SAD issues on north. I might be a dreamer or idealist, but would not be a better trade along the coast line to bring fresh fruits, vegetables than to have all those artificial poisons?
Thanks so much. It really makes my day to hear that you are using my videos as an instructional tool! And I agree, the way these fruits grow is such a site to see. I think very slowly exotic fruits are becoming more common, but still there is a long way to go.
+Jared Rydelek Yes our supermarket here in Illinois is selling passion fruit, mangosteen, kiwano, and prickly pear now. I have only gotten passion fruit so far and it was my second time having it. It was a different species from the first one I had so it tasted different.
+Chet Dietmeier Nice selection! Definitely pick up some mangosteen if you haven't tried it. They are amazing.
+Chet Dietmeier Try prickly pear too, it shall be a national fruit of the deserts of USA, has a great history for the natives, and a very sad ending. But it coming back, and it is thriving well in the dry and parched lands. In Germany cultivated for salad, and medical purposes, one can start a collection from Home Depot or Lowes,; in the arid Nevada and Arizona wilderness, this cactus grow wild, and very pretty. It is very productive, the fresh leaves are known as Nopal. Eating prickly pear easier than pineapple and less messy, though I like pineapples too. They are also great example of the great bounty of food on the planet. Easy to grew them in the window if they have no good climate;. and as Jared said, mangosteen are also very tasty.
+Jared Rydelek Definitely will! I will try the prickly pear too.
I miss the starting music. Feels like I am watching an old movie.
thanks for the vid.
I'd like to buy a jaboticaba tree. I imagine since the blue is more bitter on the outside, it might be less bothered by squirrels.
You need to try ramkand fruit which we locally find in India which is one of the rare species
Try common Greenbriar berries!! I have eaten them before and they Taste kinda like walnuts
you stopped mentioning the texture of fruits, only concentrating on flavor
They look like muscadines, have you reviewed those?
It would have been nice to see up close what they look like when opened or cut inside
I love jabuticabas
what is that peaceful intro track?
i have a jaboticaba tree in my backyard, didnt know there was a white variety
One of the few things I have gotten to try, one of my favorite fruits and only ever got to have it once... Tragic
You should look for cecropia.
Dude I had no idea you were a contortionist, saw a vid of your performance, and that was some funny and impressive shit-.
Thanks man
7:10 Holds up two obviously blue fruits, but calls one blue and the other red.......🤔🙄
hahah the ending was funny
jared, did you ever tried jaca or cupuacu? you also can find those fruits in Brazil. ...how about caju fruit? have you ever tried them?
There is a review of jaca, I used the name jackfruit in the episode. The other two I haven't had yet, but would really love to try. :)
Hi, Jared. You should enjoy visiting Sítio E-jardim (www.e-jardim.com) in September-October, when we have about 30 to 40 different varieties of jaboticabas fruiting in our jaboticaba orchard, with nearly 60 to 70 different types. You may ask our old friend Adam about us. It would be a pleasure to have you here sampling them.
Jabuticaba is delicious, I grow them my self down under.
Ahmad AlMasarani do you grow Jabuticabeira in Aus too?
Have you tried medlar fruit? The only taste sweet after frost
Nope! I know where to get them in my area, but for the past few years I've been away when they were in season. Maybe next year!

You must be doing something right because these old episodes keep showing up in my recommendations!
good to know!
Um alo do Brasil
What in the 🌎 is going on in that picture 🖼️ over your left shoulder 🙈🙈😜😜🥰
Sounds like these should be used to make wine.
In the USVI it's pronounced "guh-nip"
Sorry bud, those aren't red
Algorithm comment
Jabuticaba not Jaboticaba ;)
It has more than one spelling
+ingula akhvlediani Also can pronounce it with the J like Jared does. I have the habit of pronouncing it with the J sounding like a hard H the way they do in Latin America, Brazilians have a different way to pronounce the Ja, sounds almost like Jcha-boo-tee-caa-baa
+Jared Rydelek Actually, ingula is right... It's jabuticaba - if you want to use the Brazilian word for the fruit. You could say "jabooticaba" to sound like we say here in Brazil... :)
Love that fruit and its beautiful tree...
Hugs from Brazil!
In Portuguese, best graphy is jabuticaba, with the "u". But in English, the word jaboticaba with "o" is already stablished. As you (Jared) is writing in English (and not in Portuguese), you are right, sir!
