Weird Explorer when are you going to stop reviewing seeds from fruits and go back to reviewing fruits on your weird fruit explorer episodes
As much as I love watching your videos, I cringe at your knife safety..
Take care of yourself!
Again, love each video
Seed month is all of April. next up Madagascar.
Did you ever felt sick after?
Is this fruit related to any kind of mango
You: "This seed contains hella cyanide"
Me: Neat.
now i have a source for me gold
yar
@Angelo River Watch the Video of "NileRed" he has kind of disproven it. (As a chemistry student i can confirm his statement)
I know you're no chef, but your cleaver usage is terrifying to watch. If you use the spine of the blade instead of the edge, you can achieve the same results without risking your fingers.
Or damage to your knife edge! A good edge is difficult to maintain and smashing hard things with it can literally destroy a good knife...
Oh god just let the guy use the damn knife. He’s big a boy.
If I die from eating mamey seeds, I assure you that I will not be contacting you about it afterwards.
Your the best Gary
Because of the disclaimer
😂😂
You could.
I just ate half of one, was processed. Be careful! I got quite sick. Feels like the worst hangover. I got one from the same French co up in Canada. I used it to make hot chocolate and a creamy drink. I couldnt find ANY info on what is safe/whats not. I contacted them and they dont know. I was ok for 3-4 hours then sat on the couch and fell asleep for (2 hours!) sitting upright, thought I just shut my eyes for a second. I got terribly sick after waking. Today, the morning after I still am sensitive to light and feel "jittery". I didnt realize how much I actually used, was grating it on a cheese grater. Heck I got to say it tasted very unique, indeed like a nutty almond/cherry/fruity thing but the amount more than a few shaving is no bueno!! Great video and I was very happy to find someone else using one because the internet seems void of their mention! I wonder if the Chocolate Frother 'Molinillo' (I think) can be used in Coffee?
nutmeg can also be lethal but it's pretty common as a cooking spice.
*sola dosis facit venenum*
Very true adage.
It takes a lot to kill you though.
Itll make you delirious long before itll kill you.
I've tried is as a substance "drug" experiment - it's almost not possible, the taste is truly awful+ you have to eat at least 20-30g to feel something. Don't do it, I can say - it's not worth it anyway
Cherry smell: Benzaldehyde
Almond smell: Ｈｙｄｒｏｇｅｎ ｃｙａｎｉｄｅ
Always remember kids: Prunus is trying to kill you.
veeery interested to hear exactly how you got these things through interdimensional customs
Spices are usually okay. Just no viable seeds.
I bought a few chunks like that in Jamaica. But it was hash.
The only thought I had when he showed that was "nah dude, that's hash, you're so stoned you are making "chocolate" tea with hash and a poisonous seed."
That amaretto/almond/cherry flavor is often associated with various poisons
It's cyanide varieties. Pretty much only the one type. The stone fruit pits all have it, and they use it to make almond extract. The bitter almonds has the most awesome "almond" flavor but the bitterness is insane
I didn't know I was watching Cody'sLab lol
Yea he's the only other person Ive seen on youtube willingly ingest cyanide haha.
Mmm tasty cyanide
You needed to go faster at it with the frother (in Colombia, we call it molinillo, 'little windmill')
The smell of cherry-almond is that of benzaldehyde (a flavorant very chemically similar to vanilla), while cyanide is much more bitter.
Don't rely on that to prevent from poisoning yourself though
cyanide smells and tastes like bitter almonds (prunus species) And if you heat the cyanide it will be rendered harmless.
Cyanide actually doesn't smell like a whole lot of much. The alleged 'smell' of cyanide is actually to do with a breakdown product of Amygdalin (the cyanide containing compound in prunus species seeds), known as Benzaldehyde, which is often used in cherry candies as a flavouring.
Some people can't smell cyanide
The smell is not cyanide , its benzaldehyde . That's a main compound in almond and cherry extract.
@@drjekyllmshyde cyanide doesn't smell like cherries and bitter almonds.
Check nilereds video on bitter almonds
Wonder if adding a pinch of salt might help the flavor.
A pinch of salt in hot chocolate is a good idea
I think I'll stick to cinnamon or nutmeg in my hot chocolate ^-^' I love your stove top kettle by the way, it looks perfect for making chai =)
That's exactly what I use it for! It's a vintage coffee percolator. Even has a built in strainer in the spout.
Weird Explorer Ooh, thank you, now I know what to search for ^-^
Isn't nutmeg mildly poisonous too?
Have you ever tried cardamom in milk tea? You should try it its really yummy😋
the fruit cut open looks too beautiful, the seed what a beauty!
Agreed
Loving this edible seed series 💖
Thanks! There's more on the way!
In this case "edible" lol
I haven't taken French in years, but I'm pretty sure a good approximation for the website's name is "old world spices". At any rate, the pronunciation is "eh-peace deh crew"
@Danni Wouldn't that mean "raw spices"?
ncooty like I said, its been years 🙃
@@ncootyyes and no...
Cru does literally mean raw, but it can also refer to wine vintages, and terroir.
In this case the store name means Spices of the terroir.
I also got some stuff from them, they are legit! I managed to get a tonka bean off them! Also they have an in person store in the Jean-Talon market in Montréal.
But also cool videos. They eat Mamey (mah-may) in my country alot. And they sell them here in NYC around summer now till September
what other rare fruit do they sell in NYC and where can I find said fruits?
@Texas Tangler the thing about fruit here is that people from all over the world live here. Asian markets in Flushing or in other Chinatowns/Koreatowns have amazing fruits that will blow your mind. Honestly I would just Google exotic fruit in said borough.
I mock a mamey shake with pumpkin, papaya, almond extrac, a pinch of cinnamon, vanilla extract, maple syrup and caramel extract or sauce you can add some kind of milk it depends of you. I add protein powder. Delicioso!!
Sounds great!
Condensed milk is used instead of sugar
Good looking out with the warnings! The seeds from the mameys I ate looked so cool I rewatched this video since I remembered some of your reviews contain warnings. If you only used part of one professionally prepared seed I’ll refrain from trying to prepare my own.
blend some mamey with milk (almond milk if you dont drink lactose) and add some sugar and you have something amazing!
I watched the whole video.Well done, and the music caught my attention.
eat the seed maybe,, but id be figuring a way to get that "shell" of the seed off in 2 pieces,(esp if it stays that way after drying) so i could carve it & make jewelry its such a pretty & rich, brown, black color.
Good Idea. I think you could use a dremel on it rather easily. With a little hinge, it would make an interesting pillbox
How that cleaver bit didn't end with your hand in stitches I will never know - and that is speaking from painful experience trying to use a cleaver in a similar fashion and finding myself in the ER getting the webbing of my thumb and forefinger sutured back together - still , always fun and interesting to watch :)
I sometimes wonder if he is trolling us with his knife technique.. I hold my breath every time
@@GigsVT Same here, culinary school ruined me on watching other people handled kitchen knives,
My face when he said that the seed is edible thinking of all the time I trough away the seed 😲
MY face when he says its filled with Cyanide 😨
Can you please stop eating seeds don't want you poisoned ok!!!
I guess running low on new fruits lol poor guy poisoning his self for us now.
Plenty of fruits that he has not tried. He hasn't even scratched the surface of the Brazilian and Australian fruits and even half of the Borneo fruits are not here yet
@@cerverg maybe you can send some his way?
Patience though, I'm sure he will try every single fruit that has ever fruited
Instead of sugar we add condensed milk, a little cinnamon and nutmeg to the Jamaican cocoa.
What is the first or second ingredient in condensed milk? Sugar.
When I was younger in Mexico 🇲🇽 I used to eat it and have it ina milkshake
Tejote and Zapote are two different fruit
I've had tejote also :) I'm talking about tejate
Weird Explorer tecojote. Is another fruit
My all time favorite fruit is mamey
I think in order to froth it you need to use cream. Milk is too watery
Jared: Puts wooden stick into hot liquid
Also Jared: This tastes like you put a stick into it
😜Love your videos, just found that funny
I have never such big mammee. I love it. We were told never to eat mammee and drink alcohol. Guyana mammee is firmer, won't get this soft. I wish to have that seed to plant. Maybe, someone tried eating the seed. 🤦🤣
What plant(s) would you recommend for graceful exit purposes?
I have had a mamey sapote that was almost ripe but not fully ripe, I didn’t love it but it tasted Ok, I’ll have to try a fully ripe mamey sapote
That's perfect because I can't tell the difference between a pumpkin pie and a sweet potato pie anyway so this would be amazing
Thanks for being the best guinea pig,,,lol
Are Date seeds edible?
Yep! People make a coffee substitute out of it. There's a video on my channel about it from years ago
Will have to look that up thank you
After you roast them you can eat
Im still a bit confused if the type of sapote that I had was a different type. The outside texture looks the same, but not wrinkly, and was much small and rounder. But the flesh was lighter off white color, and not orange. But the thing that really made me not like it was that the texture was like eating wet sand. It was unpleasantly gritty. The taste was really good, but the texture just made it unpleasant to eat.
I'm curious if you have had Oregon-Grapes? I foraged some this weekend and was disappointed. They tasted like unripe pomegranate in my opinion but I am hoping to find more and make jelly as others have suggested to me.
I have! there's a video somewhere on my channel. I recall it not being great, but having some serious jam potential
Currently Oregon grape plants are in flower and there's no fruit on the plants. I wonder what you found and ate?
k8eekatt it was in a forest permaculture landscape here in central Alabama Zone 9a. So probably a little further along than it’s native northwest siblings.
@@zsandmann that explains it! The ones here in Oregon get really plump and juicy but they are as sour as lemons. They do make a very therapeutic Jam. The roots are yellow and Native Americans used them to dye clothing yellow. We let ours grow and the robins eat them all!
Is this a whole series now Jared Eats Seeds
Seed month!
You keep eating those seeds Jared and we may not be hearing from you for awhile!..JK..lol
The oil prevented bubbles, or the cocoa butter.
physics thing, not chemistry thing.
I prefer growing mine. They make nice house plants haha
I need to find these I've only had it canned
Taking care of a friends dog and he has a giant sapote tree so I’m doing research cause these look good
Does anybody know any varieties of sapote that are available in the northeast coast?
back in puerto rico we used to make juice out of it
Thankfully I live in Florida, so most of the fruit you show is available in many markets.
You might have noticed that the typical almond extract type of “almond flavoring” really doesn’t taste anything like normal edible almonds. That’s because it’s from bitter almonds, which are full of (did you guess?) cyanide. 16 bitter almonds can kill you but they are also so bitter that you’d have a hard time actually eating them unless you really had a death wish. They’re wonderful as flavoring in cakes and cookies, and the baking gets rid of the dangerous cyanide (it only takes a few to flavor a whole recipe anyway). Cherry seed kernels are also full of cyanide but the kernels of the Wild Cherry Prunus mahleb is widely used as a flavoring for pastries in Greece, Turkey and the E. Mediterranean. It has an almond-like but distinct aroma.
all, or almost all stonefruits/drupes contain cyanide inside the pit.
cherries, apricots, peaches, etc.
The international grocery store near me has these fruit, but they are always nasty. They are gray and charcoal on the inside.
yeah... ive gotten ones like that at the supermarket too. it's tricky to tell you have a good one.
I've had a caramel flan before... it was slimy and I honestly wasn't a big fan. I much prefer making fondant bonnets and black licorice wings with sugar crystals to dress up the pudding and make touhou memes out of it.
Coco tea is the best!
The smoothie is the best out of this fruit.
na i am good but that Mamey sapote looks so good . when i make hot chocolate i use a combination of full fat milk and coconut milk with a bit of sugar.
Do they ship out of the USA
Nutmeg? May add a bit more depth of flavour.
Great video again!
I believe that would be the smell of benzaldehyde, not cyanide
Can you eat the seed of the Rose Apple?
I'm not sure!
@@WeirdExplorer
Okay, thanks.
The smell so much like nutmeg but I can't find anything on them being used. Guess I could try.
Just a heads up, Cyanide can not be cooked out of a food. you still ingested a large amount of Cyanide. which should be fine as long as you don't ingest any other foods with Cyanide in them, as Cyanide builds up in your body.
There's a large Mexican grocery near me where I get mamey sometimes, but I think they get them under-ripe. Inside they're almost completely white and taste and smell really strongly of almonds. Is the pulp dangerous when it's under-ripe too? Also, I don't know how to properly ripen it. I've tried to put it in a bowl with bananas, but they don't turn reddish-orange.
Gotta wait until they're nice and soft.
I love your tshirt. Where's it from? x
Secondly, your sugar tin is adorable.
Does it taste at all like kava? It looks as if it would.
Every time you use a knife you scare the crap out of me.
Been waiting for this
mamey sapote ketchup?
Yeah but no more poisonous than some raw or dried beans. So I mean, you can literally pick your poison. Preparation is key.
Why did you re-upload this video?
The quality was bad on the first one. :/
Weird Explorer ty so much for the response!:)
All plants have some kind of a poison...
interesting, i've seem videos of people using this seed in a horchata-like drink with PURE RAW mamey seed.
Sort of like the hazards around consuming cashews.
what happened earlier?? i went to watch this video( i think it was this one) and it was deleted or removed.
It wasn't in HD for some reason, had to reupload
@@WeirdExplorer oh okay thanks, wasn't sure if it was because of youtube or just a general reason.
I love the so you don’t want that yeah I definitely don’t want to die 😋
You should try black raspberries
I kept a seed from a Mamey I opened a week or so ago...
ShadowTheWolf AJ Please don't eat it =s much better to plant it and see if it grows ^-^
Plant it.
7:26 I was hoping you'd emulate Ukiyo Sugishita-san. #Aibou
That’s not a chocolate frothed that’s a spinning wangjangleler
you couldn't get it to froth well because you're not using skimmed milk, just so ya know :O
Cyanide isn't much to worry about. Small amounts break down and are harmless. A large dose at once is needed to make you sick or dead. Edit; it was pointed out below that low chronic doses are dangerous. I was more thinking just in terms of making this video. Be warned!
this is actually not completely true, small chronic doses of cyanide can cause permanent brain damage
@@nakrul987 Yeah I wasn't thinking about eating it on a regular basis. Good point.
@@GigsVT careful of people who will actually spread misinformation suggesting you take it habitually to cure cancer or whatever nonsense
@@FrancisR420 mm yes of course I am not one of those. I was just thinking about people who freak out over eating an apple core. I didn't even realize such a thing existed but I should not be surprised.
i wanted to know the reaction after taking the drink how was it but because i couldnt wait i made mine from white sapote seeds lovely very calmy i guess am panicky too but because i am monitoring the poison intake reaction from my body okay!
White sapote is NOT related to this. I have never heard of consuming it's seeds, you probably shouldn't. Eating seeds that are not edible is extremely dangerous.
@@WeirdExplorer theres stuff on it but most say its toxic when raw it has cyanide
@@WeirdExplorer you're right
I Love your garcinia fruit reviews as well as the annona fruits the best!
I'm still wondering if you have found or will try to find the Kokum (Garcinia Indica) fruit? (Not trying to be an annoying Indian XD) I don't know if it's just another name for the purple mangosteen or if it's another fruit on its own.
veggiesinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Kokum.jpg
Also I've seen pictures of the Beach Mangosteen (Garcinia Hombroniana) and was curious about it.
plantogram.com/wa-data/public/shop/products/76/06/676/images/900/900.750.jpg
I haven't found them yet :/. Only the dry spice. Where in India would I find them fresh?
@@WeirdExplorer I actually don't know. I came across it when I searched on Google for "red mangosteen", and on Instagram.
According to Wikipedia it says: "Kokum is an indigenous tree of the tropical rain forests of the Western Ghats of South India. This evergreen tree is mainly found along the west coast of the Konkan, Goa, Karnataka and North Malabar. The tree is also found in Jaintia Hills, West Bengal, the Nicobar Islands, and Assam."
Mamey sapote seed is edible, white sapote seed contains cyanide
smells like almond and cherries. yep, that's cyanide.
looks like a giant chico! with a single seed.
They are in the same family 🙂
Welcome to knife safety with Jared Three-fingers
So basically it taste like chocolate but someone took a shit in it
What is the one fruit you truly regret eating
noni
there was a little bit of eduCATional content around the 9:00 mark, need to point camera lower
Thanks for providing this very important time code :)
umm. i think you are too preoccupied with thinking about whether or not you *could* eat something, you didn't stop to think about if you *should* 🤣
Lame
8:41 what you need to put is "Chocolate Abuelita"...lol save yourself your fingers, time and poisoning youself...
better yet plant it
When in doubt, use a big rock.
It is missing something....... more cyanide
Hmmm that lump of "chocolate" looked an awful lot like hash to me! lol It looks like it's full of plant fiber too...
Awesome
Why does a vegetarian need a meat cleaver?
Almand and cyanide smell the same
I know exactly what to do with mamey sapote seeds
PLANT THEM
