They're delicious, but are a pain in the anus to tell when ripe. And if you wait too long, they'll lose flavor. I honestly don't know when they're ready to eat.
I’ve only had them once. We bought a bunch of them from a coffee plantation in Hawaii. They planted them as windbreaks and just sold the fruit to tourists who were touring the coffee plantation. We just left them in the car and they were marvelous they never went brown and they were delicious for the entire week we were there.
Nakrul987 , you are thinking of dwarf Brazilian aka Hawaiian apple which gets a strawberry shortcake flavor, the manzano apple banana is different and taste like green apple jolly rancher and top teir banana flavor! Both are absolutely incredible and I have both! Mysore has a candy tartness aswell and those 3 strains are my favorite bananas that I can grow in zone 8b where no one else is growing bananas!
This is a kids magic trick I learned from a book, you take a toothpick slice the banana and all you leave is a hole where it went in. Edit you did not fool me 6:26 i saw the juice come out, Apirls foooooools
I didn't even notice that you sold the trick so hard, the banana was with all the others, and you were laughing weird, that's the only thing that tipped me off. Watching it a second time your patter is very agreeable.
We have apple bananas here in Maine and they are a favorite of children especially in lunch boxes. We also have red bananas and baby bananas and all of these can be found in the regular grocery store of decent size here.
My parents told me that they used to pull that trick every once in a while when they owned a corner shop. They also had a lot of customers who would squeeze things before buying them, so they got some squeaky veg to hide in the produce.
Pre sliced bread was popularized by the world war because it's saved Housewives time and gave a more consistent cut. So it was that much less work to do at home when they had to get off to the factories to build war materials
COTTON CANDY GRAPES ARE GOD TIER!!! THEY ARE NOT JUST A GIMMICK!!! Haha glad you said you'd buy them again cause they people need to buy more so the growers keep coming out with them!
I had seen a version of the slice the banana trick on the cover of a Ripley's Believe it or Not book back in the 70s. Their version involved needle and thread. As soon as I saw the slices I thought of it. A banana which grew with natural slices should be withered and small, and probably rotten because the fruit is broken and the nutrients aren't going through it.
Unfortunately I've come to be too suspicious about anything on April Fool's Day, so I knew it had to be a joke. BUT you were very convincing in your lie. You presented it exactly as you always do so if I wasn't so cynical, I'd probably have fallen for it. Having said all that, I was trying to figure out if banana #1 and #3 were also fake. :)
I am from brazil , here this variety (apple banana) is kinda more expensive ,about double of the price of a regular one .it's diffidently my favorite kind, you should try letting the peel get some little black spots it's even sweeter that way
It's not necessarily strange or rare, but if you want an apple that has a background banana flavor, try an opal apple. The store-bought organic ones I've had have that quality. Thanks for the video, and congrats on 10k subscribers!
You totally fooled my entire family...me, my 5 yr old AND my engineer husband!!!! Love it esp since we are just this year teaching our 5 yr old about April Fools...now he gets it! Thank you!
yup, you did fool me with the pre-sliced one, because i love scifi and have a bit of idea where genetic research is at, so i imagined splicing a bit of... bean (or ...other sources i don't want to think about), a piece of dna which causes segmentation in these kinds of tubular shapes. you would splice it somewhere to cause the soft white peel to create few-cells thin layers not only between the peel and the meat, but also at regular intervals, how other plants/animals have in their structure. And i'd say that's perfectly doable nowadays, except nobody yet decided that would be a profitable gimmick, probably =D
There is an apple that tastes like a banana. It is an heirloom variety of apple. A side by side comparison would be interesting with the banana that tastes like an apple.
Haha!! I was thinking, "Why would they spend resources developing that? Anybody that can buy bananas surely can also buy a knife. Hell, even a spoon works. How lazy is society going to get?" Nice one. You got me.
Haaaa! Dang it you got me! (in my defense I just drove from VA to WV and spent the day checking out old mines and then drove BACK to VA) I totally went through my house showing that clip to everyone in my family! Happy day lol. Thanks for the laugh 😂❤
Was expecting a horrific blood-curdling scream saying "HELP ME, MY SKIN, MY SKINNN, KILL ME" when you opened that banana up close and talk about it for so long
The banana seems like a trick I did when I was a kid. I used a pin and went through the peel and sliced it with the the pin with only a pinhole showing.
Lady Finger bananas are a South Pacific variety of Musa acuminata. they are much smaller than Cavendish and softer but a big advantage is that they grow in a cooler climate (sub tropical). They are popular in Australia for this reason since many people grow them at home.
Go to Illinois in the third week of June and pick some wild black raspberries... They make the best jelly you ever tasted. Also, IF you can find some, wild strawberries in Illinois in mid to late April are great. One very rare banana variety to try if you can find some is called Paggi. best banana I ever had, and I have tried several.
You kinda got me with your joke. When you first peeled it and revealed the slices, I said WHAT?! out loud and you were very convincing. Then I noticed the video was published on April 1st, so I thought maybe it could be an April fools day prank, but I wasn't sure. lol Good one!
When I was a kid I learned that you can take a threaded needle and cut a banana into slices under the skin from 'corner' to 'corner' reusing the same hole in as out all around as a way to prank people.
'Apple bananas are also sometimes labeled manzana bananas - "manzana" is Spanish for "apple". The ones I get where I live are not quite ripe until the peel splits lengthwise - then they are at their best, sweet and delicious. Much better than a Cavendish. And the self-slicing banana didn't make any sense to me, because there is no internal structure in bananas that could be modified to do that - so I didn't believe it, but I thought Jared believed it.
I saw the Patreon video last night, so I knew what was coming, and the long buildup was killing me. I just wanted to see how it looked. I think you sold it really well, except there was a little bit of banana that squirted out of the pinhole as you were opening it. I'm not sure how that could have been avoided, but it did kind of give away that the peel had been compromised. Although, I don't know if I would have noticed it if I wasn't in on the joke.
Apple bananas have to be reaally ripe to taste well. It sticks on the teeth, if not ripe enough. But they are my favorite ones. Really soft and with a lot of flavor!
That is a kind of loose-knit name for that shape of banana. The ones I was used to in Hawaii. They have a slightly astringent tang with most of them. If you want an interesting kind, try the Cuban Red and let it get ripe. Many of the cavendish variety that you currently get are likely to be genetically modified. Most of them are too sweet, even when they are green. They have been plagued with banana disease and since most of them are clones of the same plant, they are susceptible to mass die-offs. They have added genes from other species. In Hawaii there was a lot of emotion about the pig-genes that were put in papayas.
At first I thought you had just bought a banana that someone had pre-sliced internally. But I did look it up to see if it was a real genetic modification, before watching the end of the video. Science has brought us stranger things.
Apple bananas are better after the peel is half brown. I normally like my bananas all yellow with a green tint on the end, but these are better with some brown. There is also a Hawaiian apple banana (AKA Brazilian) which is much better tasting.
I only saw this video in November 2020. I am well acquainted with the Apple banana. But the "pre-sliced" banana is new for me. So I thought "that's impossible." My hunch proved right: April 1st. The pause ("hesitation") in the video gave it away. Fake. Apple bananas are far from fake. A tip: take a long trip to Surinam. A country in the Guyana's, South America, near the Caribbean's and bordering on Brazil. Many variaties of bananas, among which Apple Bananas (bananas there are called "Bacoven", plural, don't ask for "Banaan" or you get an inedible fruit eaten raw, but delicious when cooked or baked), the " Indgy Bakba" ( - red - Indian bacove , yes, it is deep red outside, orangy pink inside), my favorite or the "Gedang Radja" (King Banana), as long and thick as my arm and extremely flavourful (to my surprise). You can find them in the covered markets or go to the Plantation "Alliance", where they grow them, as well as the plain Cavendish, for export. While there, look for other fruits, like the "Sapotilla", whicj tastes a cooked Apple with Cinnamon. Extremely bad to keep, so very rare outside the tropics. They spoil within days after picking. Surinam, a country worth visiting, but take several weeks or months even!
try cooking them. oddly enough my room mate hates cold bananas and would put her morning banana in the microwave foe a minute. one morning I tried it. and it was an improvement. I was pretty sure you would not eat a GMO anything.
I saw a magic show when I was a kid, over 40 years ago, that demonstrated how to slice a banana in its skin. I expect that is what is really happening here.
The good banana has small dark spots on it. It is because it was ripened naturally, not with steam! Well. Unless you eat banana from the locals of a tropical place... They won't taste natural and really well.
I've seen the slicing the banana in the peel trick with a toothpick. It was clear to me that one was fake, but that got me wondering about the other two, not knowing of those were real reviews or not hahah
You totally tricked my wife and I. We have many bananas growing but still fell for it. Totally forgot it was April Fools day. It seemed totally illogical but with what is happening with GMO these days...maybe. Good job!
People from Latin American countries call the first one you describe manzanos, or plátanos manzanos, which translates to apple banana. Mexicans make fritters out of them...they mash them and mix them with flour, and little salt, and some baking powder. Then fry them in deep fat and then sprinkle with powdered sugar and cinnamon, which produces something akin to an apple fritter.
Watched this on April 9th, not realizing it was published April 1st. When you got to the sliced banana, I watched for a minute or so with great interest, but when you observed how even the slices were, something clicked & I felt an immediate need to check the publishing date...
sounds like apple banana is a good choice if you don't really like the sometimes overbearing banana taste. Ordinary banana can be too sweet and kinda boring frankly. Also, typically it takes over too much in smoothies and such. what do you think?
I have known how to do that for years, 😂. I have learned one thing, though. If he gives the banana a bad review, that means I would like it. Our tastes in bananas are completely opposite. 😂😂
www.ecolandscaping.org/09/invasive-plants/eat-your-invasives/ Interesting article about how early settler of the United States made jelly with barberry fruit. Maybe a episode of you walking the countryside or suburbs and tasting what you find? lmkyt Your Paw-paw episode made me soooo want to taste one badly. I'm obsessed getting my hands on one this year. my favorite fruit from childhood was Loquats, just so loquacious are they. I would spend hours gorging on them as a small boy in Campbell, California, coming down only when I had to RUN to the bathroom. haha! Thank you, thank you keep up the good videos. PS - my wife thinks your cute! haha! 😉
Thank you for giving a name for the variety that looks like what is the most common variety the markets here: apple banana. I never thought it has a hint of apple though, maybe I just haven't paid attention - or maybe there is another variety that looks just like apple bananas. I was hoping you could review a red variety: I've heard they grow in one region in here but I have never seen them in the market - maybe they don't grow very well or they don't taste so good?
I live in Cambodia. There are some fruit I like that I have not seen in a market, like "pring" (phonetic spelling) most likely because it goes off gets damaged too easily. Then there is "Monday fruit" that is edible but they are really used like potpourri.
those apple bananas aren't fully ripe, if you let them ripen more they will taste like strawberries
They're delicious, but are a pain in the anus to tell when ripe. And if you wait too long, they'll lose flavor. I honestly don't know when they're ready to eat.
nakrul987 i love these
banana smells like a pumpkin, tastes like apples if it's more ripened it'll taste like strawberries! Fruit salad banana y'all.
I’ve only had them once. We bought a bunch of them from a coffee plantation in Hawaii. They planted them as windbreaks and just sold the fruit to tourists who were touring the coffee plantation. We just left them in the car and they were marvelous they never went brown and they were delicious for the entire week we were there.
Nakrul987 , you are thinking of dwarf Brazilian aka Hawaiian apple which gets a strawberry shortcake flavor, the manzano apple banana is different and taste like green apple jolly rancher and top teir banana flavor! Both are absolutely incredible and I have both! Mysore has a candy tartness aswell and those 3 strains are my favorite bananas that I can grow in zone 8b where no one else is growing bananas!

Haha yeah I learned it from when I was a kid too. Its surprisingly effective on people though.
I didn't even notice that you sold the trick so hard, the banana was with all the others, and you were laughing weird, that's the only thing that tipped me off. Watching it a second time your patter is very agreeable.
Brian Roberts Thanks! I've been performing a long time making it convincing is more important than the trick itself
Well I believed it 😂 wouldn't surprise me
needle you use a needle not a toothpick
I Think a sign of a great channel is that for about 14+ minutes I watched someone eat a type of fruit I don't even like.
Pre-sliced Banana: the best thing since pre-sliced bread
I've seen pre peeled bananas....
@@onlockmobileskateshop113 That’s ridiculous lol, prepeeled, bananas go brown within a few hours I would think. Maybe it’s different whole.
I like them sliced thin and dehydrated.
This has to be one of the best April Fools I've seen.
Totally fell for it.
I’m dumb. I’ve been sharing this for two days
I love how he also gets to subtly shit on the cavendish banana while we’re all distracted too 😂
Taste like apples and smell like apple.Should be very ripe to taste good.The red banana taste like peach.I have the variety in my yard in Puerto Rico.
damn that segmented banana bit actually got me good, really genuine reaction. nice job
I can never tell when he's lying.
@@vernaute2803 maybe he's always lying🤔
2:20
*smack smack smack smack smack smack smack* " A P P L E S."
got me bro. ive even see somebody do this before but i heard once that bananas are heavily modified so i fell for it
Damn, you're a really good actor, that seemed like a genuine reaction to that segmented banana, you should be in movies
We have apple bananas here in Maine and they are a favorite of children especially in lunch boxes. We also have red bananas and baby bananas and all of these can be found in the regular grocery store of decent size here.
The pre sliced banana probably would’ve gotten me if I wasn’t reading the comments
My parents told me that they used to pull that trick every once in a while when they owned a corner shop. They also had a lot of customers who would squeeze things before buying them, so they got some squeaky veg to hide in the produce.
you got me, I was fooled. I was googling to ry and learn more about that segmented banana. lol
Kelly Richardson that makes me so happy. haha :)
Pre sliced bread was popularized by the world war because it's saved Housewives time and gave a more consistent cut. So it was that much less work to do at home when they had to get off to the factories to build war materials
Man, I was showing everybody that pre-cut banana and only saw it was an April fools joke days later. I got got! Good one!!
Everyone hates on the Cavendish banana. When they are good they are still one of my favorites. I love the texture.
I'm watching a ton of your videos today and I actually fell for this.
You only got me cuz it's not April fool's LOL
COTTON CANDY GRAPES ARE GOD TIER!!! THEY ARE NOT JUST A GIMMICK!!! Haha glad you said you'd buy them again cause they people need to buy more so the growers keep coming out with them!

A banana which grew with natural slices should be withered and small, and probably rotten because the fruit is broken and the nutrients aren't going through it.
Good Ol Ripleys. Yeah that trick is a classic.
I think I first saw it on How 2 in the 90s ^-^ wasn't fooled, but super fun! =) x
You literally convinced me that there are genetically modified, pre-sliced bananas.
Unfortunately I've come to be too suspicious about anything on April Fool's Day, so I knew it had to be a joke. BUT you were very convincing in your lie. You presented it exactly as you always do so if I wasn't so cynical, I'd probably have fallen for it. Having said all that, I was trying to figure out if banana #1 and #3 were also fake. :)
Haha yeah me too. I'm always extra skeptical on April 1st. Yeah I was hoping those other bananas would be good misdirection for the fake one 😂
I am from brazil , here this variety (apple banana) is kinda more expensive ,about double of the price of a regular one .it's diffidently my favorite kind, you should try letting the peel get some little black spots it's even sweeter that way
Wagner Gauer agree
I’m in Brazil now, really enjoying the bananas. I’ve been eating several a day lol.
It's not necessarily strange or rare, but if you want an apple that has a background banana flavor, try an opal apple. The store-bought organic ones I've had have that quality. Thanks for the video, and congrats on 10k subscribers!
Brian Thompson thanks Brian!
I like it when our hero tells us to go to the market and look for interesting things.
You totally fooled my entire family...me, my 5 yr old AND my engineer husband!!!! Love it esp since we are just this year teaching our 5 yr old about April Fools...now he gets it! Thank you!
unless someone shows me otherwise, the sliced banana was modified with the needle trick that I learned on Zoom year and years ago...
yup, you did fool me with the pre-sliced one, because i love scifi and have a bit of idea where genetic research is at, so i imagined splicing a bit of... bean (or ...other sources i don't want to think about), a piece of dna which causes segmentation in these kinds of tubular shapes. you would splice it somewhere to cause the soft white peel to create few-cells thin layers not only between the peel and the meat, but also at regular intervals, how other plants/animals have in their structure.

There is an apple that tastes like a banana. It is an heirloom variety of apple. A side by side comparison would be interesting with the banana that tastes like an apple.
Good episode! You had me debating with myself whether or not to try those self-slicing bananas.
Bananas is often used as potatoes when they are still green and those we (in europe) buy as a fruit (not a fruit I know) are all cloned
Haha!! I was thinking, "Why would they spend resources developing that? Anybody that can buy bananas surely can also buy a knife. Hell, even a spoon works. How lazy is society going to get?"
Nice one. You got me.
I remember an episode of mr wizard where someone did that with a needle and thread
Oh man, I loved Mr Wizard!!
Haaaa! Dang it you got me! (in my defense I just drove from VA to WV and spent the day checking out old mines and then drove BACK to VA) I totally went through my house showing that clip to everyone in my family! Happy day lol. Thanks for the laugh 😂❤
Thanks, glad to hear it :)
I don't know how you ended up in my suggested videos but I'm glad you did I subbed and been watching your videos all day thank you
The uneven knife marks @6:45 gave it away. Pretty neat trick. 😄
Your acting was spot on. Got me good.
The Apple banana would be interesting to use when I make banana bread.
Embarrassed to say that the banana prank got me...good job.
Was expecting a horrific blood-curdling scream saying "HELP ME, MY SKIN, MY SKINNN, KILL ME" when you opened that banana up close and talk about it for so long
They probably stuck a toothpick or sewing needle in the banana and sliced it. It's also a technique used in magic tricks
The way you spoke about the second banana was very convincing! Can't wait to try that one out. Good video as always, and congrats on 10k subs!
thanks!
The banana seems like a trick I did when I was a kid. I used a pin and went through the peel and sliced it with the the pin with only a pinhole showing.
pre-sliced banana is an old trick. to make each slice push a needle through the skin, then move it side to side
the needle marks are visible 6:14
I grow these. The apple hint is green sour apple flavor.
Lady Finger bananas are a South Pacific variety of Musa acuminata. they are much smaller than Cavendish and softer but a big advantage is that they grow in a cooler climate (sub tropical). They are popular in Australia for this reason since many people grow them at home.
you totally got me genetic modifications are only getting crazier
:D
I remember when I was younger my grandparents did that pre sliced banana thing to me and my cousins :)
My dad showed me that trick using a needle when I was little. Even so, you did have me for a moment.
awesome :)
That pre sliced banana was crazy asf!
Go to Illinois in the third week of June and pick some wild black raspberries... They make the best jelly you ever tasted. Also, IF you can find some, wild strawberries in Illinois in mid to late April are great. One very rare banana variety to try if you can find some is called Paggi. best banana I ever had, and I have tried several.
Nice into, that shot of downtown Spokane. I haven't even watched the rest of the video, had to stop and check.
That "Stick" banana is just a giant Cavendesh
Totally got me lol. Good stuff as always!
You kinda got me with your joke. When you first peeled it and revealed the slices, I said WHAT?! out loud and you were very convincing. Then I noticed the video was published on April 1st, so I thought maybe it could be an April fools day prank, but I wasn't sure. lol Good one!
When I was a kid I learned that you can take a threaded needle and cut a banana into slices under the skin from 'corner' to 'corner' reusing the same hole in as out all around as a way to prank people.

Yeah I noticed that too after filming and figured nobody would really notice. So far seems to be true :)
Hi
I'd recommend you going to Papua New Guinea ,the fruit over there is extremely diverse with many varieties not found anywhere else.
Happy Travels.
Apple bananas have to be reaally ripe to taste well. It sticks on the teeth, if not ripe enough. But they are my favorite ones. Really soft and with a lot of flavor!
That is a kind of loose-knit name for that shape of banana. The ones I was used to in Hawaii. They have a slightly astringent tang with most of them. If you want an interesting kind, try the Cuban Red and let it get ripe. Many of the cavendish variety that you currently get are likely to be genetically modified. Most of them are too sweet, even when they are green. They have been plagued with banana disease and since most of them are clones of the same plant, they are susceptible to mass die-offs. They have added genes from other species. In Hawaii there was a lot of emotion about the pig-genes that were put in papayas.
I grew up eating Apple Bananas. These bananas don't look fully ripped. It would taste so much better if it was .
You got me with that one man. Hey, what's the best banana?
Definitely...your acting was good. And since it's an old video, I didn't know what day it was.
I saw it at 6:15, LOL! It wasn't April when I saw it. Thx 4 the fun!
aww you got me with that second banana! lol
There is a local Mexican mercado that has them sometimes. I'm in TN.
At first I thought you had just bought a banana that someone had pre-sliced internally. But I did look it up to see if it was a real genetic modification, before watching the end of the video. Science has brought us stranger things.
They use a needle to cut the meat
I was given a book of magic tricks when I was in elementary school and it showed how to use a needle and thread to cut a banana like this.
This is obviously an april fools joke
Yeah, I remember the magic trick from books I read when I was a kid.
An April fools joke, indeed.
very cool Channel. will be watching other videos later and subscribed. let those bananas ripen up more and you will enjoy them more
Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameran sent me year to see proof of intelligent design. How else could a banana slice itself?
All bananas are genetically modified if they aren't full of marble sized seeds.
You don't know the diffenrce between selective breeding and genetic engineering. Stop talking.
Yup you fooled me 😂😂😂😂 i knew a about the trick but i forgot it was april 1 and i never expect you would be a prankster 😝👍🏽
wonder if it's a stick banana because it's got a straightened part they can put a stick through for choco bananas?
Apple bananas are better after the peel is half brown. I normally like my bananas all yellow with a green tint on the end, but these are better with some brown. There is also a Hawaiian apple banana (AKA Brazilian) which is much better tasting.

haha glad to hear it. Thanks!
HAha! Good one. That ending was bananas.
that stick banana looked amazing.
Ya got me. Not gonna lie, that'd be great for cereal, though I like my bananas sliced a wee bit thinner lol
lol that totally got me. I'm used to you being serious in your videos and I didn't check the date until the end of the video.
I found one of these in my sisters drawer. It smelt really weird and was kind of sticky. why hasn't she eaten it yet?
Wolven Avalanche how old are you; or were you?
Or is this a joke? Cuz I have an idea what it was.
I was 14 when I made this joke, I'm now 37 4 weeks after making it.

Then fry them in deep fat and then sprinkle with powdered sugar and cinnamon, which produces something akin to an apple fritter.
You should make smoothies with rare fruit with flavors that go well together stuff like this
5 years later and you
still fooled me!
I remember Mr. Wizard showed how to slice a banana without peeling it, with a needle and thread.
Hahaha The sewing needle trick
simple but effective haha
It's segmented via toothpick they insert it and move it around
Watched this on April 9th, not realizing it was published April 1st.
When you got to the sliced banana, I watched for a minute or so with great interest, but when you observed how even the slices were, something clicked & I felt an immediate need to check the publishing date...
Haha good to hear
Have you ever tried popoulu bananas from Hawaii?
www.bananas.org/wiki/Musa_Popoulu
I haven't! Those look very interesting though
sounds like apple banana is a good choice if you don't really like the sometimes overbearing banana taste. Ordinary banana can be too sweet and kinda boring frankly. Also, typically it takes over too much in smoothies and such. what do you think?
John Doe agreed
Hahaha you fooled me!! I was waiting for "April fools" from you though because I couldn't believe or understand it
I used to make those pre sliced bananas to impress my friends.
I have known how to do that for years, 😂. I have learned one thing, though. If he gives the banana a bad review, that means I would like it. Our tastes in bananas are completely opposite. 😂😂
Have you tried the red banana? Tastes different and definitely yummy... Available in South India
I have tried it, but have yet to do a review.
Have you reviewed any barberries?
Wolfberry?
I have not watched every episode yet.
Enjoying your insight on all the fruit of the world.

Maybe a episode of you walking the countryside or suburbs and tasting what you find? lmkyt Your Paw-paw episode made me soooo want to taste one badly. I'm obsessed getting my hands on one this year.
my favorite fruit from childhood was Loquats, just so loquacious are they. I would spend hours gorging on them as a small boy in Campbell, California, coming down only when I had to RUN to the bathroom. haha!
Thank you, thank you keep up the good videos.
PS - my wife thinks your cute! haha! 😉
You got me with the mutant banana.
Thank you for giving a name for the variety that looks like what is the most common variety the markets here: apple banana. I never thought it has a hint of apple though, maybe I just haven't paid attention - or maybe there is another variety that looks just like apple bananas.
I was hoping you could review a red variety: I've heard they grow in one region in here but I have never seen them in the market - maybe they don't grow very well or they don't taste so good?
Interesting, what country are you from? I do have a red banana video coming up soon :)
I live in Cambodia. There are some fruit I like that I have not seen in a market, like "pring" (phonetic spelling) most likely because it goes off gets damaged too easily. Then there is "Monday fruit" that is edible but they are really used like potpourri.
