Which size box is this?
@@eyemyth I believe its the Large Box.
Damn they're pricey! Miami Fruit must be mighty damn proud of they're produce! 💲💲💲
Whenever you pronounce something in a foreign language that I speak, you do pronounce it wrong.
This is an easy one to fix though...
Whenever you're reading a Spanish word you can disregard the letter H, unless it's accompanied by a C as in CHavo.
It's silent when spoken, but indicates emphasis on the vowel following.
Nobody will notice the lack of emphasis on the vowel. They'll attribute it to your accent.
The only other things you need to know in order to read Spanish correctly are: J is used as an H would be in English, sound and all.
Lastly, the vowels themselves are pronounced differently by default.
For example, I is pronounced as a long E (as in each), A as in father, E as in echo, O as in over, and U as in fruit.
Any other pronunciation of vowels will either be proceeded with an H, or actually have a punctuation mark above them dictating what sound is made (the dot above the I being switched with the appropriate punctuation mark).
This will likely help with future travels, as most of the Latin based languages follow very similar rules.
Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, and French. Although each language follows a slightly different set of rules (ESPECIALLY FRENCH), they're easy to pick up once you figure out one or two of them.
I think your cat might be sad that you’re not the Weird Fish Explorer.
Haha she is waiting for that day
You win the Internet today.
Good one. I am the weird fish explorer and my cat would have eaten those plastic wraps that Jared throws on the floor ,thinking they are somme soird of grass.He eats all the plastic bags he can find ,especially now in winter when i cant bring real grass from outside because of the snow.
🤣🤣🤣
Find someone who loves you as much as Jared loves fruit.
This is bananas.
by now Jared must be a fruit. you are what you eat, they say.
peachypeach Nobody loves anybody as much as Jared loves weird fruit.
That'd be impossible
The golf ball bananas are $137. Lol
I am imagining jumping into a giant ball-crawl of bananas. With all the freaky bananas. But then I think about the banana spiders and that dream is destroyed.
The one dislike was from the Banana
I’m expecting a *second* box of yellow dragon fruits and a box of sapodilla fruits from Miami Fruits tomorrow! Miami fruits rocks. Great vid, Jared!

🍎 🍌
Sounds like something a paid spokesperson would say🤔
The pitongo bananas look adorable!
I see a kitty I like.
I'm 62. All I could think of while watching was Harry Chapin and his 30,000 pounds of bananas..
Miami Fruit is very expensive
Imagine making the ultimate banana bread with as many banana varieties mixed in as possible
would love one of those as a house plant
3:11 s u b l i m i n a l
6:25 too lol
Ah man, that's new. The file isn't like that, there must have been an error when it uploaded on youtube
@@WeirdExplorer That's weird! Really enjoyed your videos in Montreal by the way! That's where I live :D
@@WeirdExplorer sure that's what you would say.....
6:25 as well
THOSE ARE THE CUTEST BANANAS EVER. 😍
I love these videos, love the traveling and adventures.
As much as I'm grateful for Australias biosecurity laws protecting our existing crops from new pathogens I'm terribly jealous of all the cool things you can try in the US.
Come here I’ll get you some.
Pretty sure Miami fruit grows all their stuff in the US so the plants would be up to US agricultural code anyhow. I can imagine importing from another country is a nightmare still.
I want to try more varieties of bananas but it's such a risk for me. As I've gotten older I've developed a bananas intolerance. Some varieties, like the Cavendish, make it feel like I was chewing on ground glass. My mouth and throat get really itchy and about a half hour later I'm hit with stomach cramps. It's not actually dangerous for me, and I won't go into anaphylactic shock, it just makes me miserable for a couple of hours. Some varieties, like Manzano and Buro, I can eat with no problems. The real problem is I love bananas and hardly ever get to eat them since I can't eat the most common variety.
I haven't heard of that. Do you know what it is in bananas that is giving you a reaction? Maybe there is a variety that won't affect you as much?
@@WeirdExplorer if I remember correctly it's because of one of the compounds in the natural latex. Some varieties have a greater amount of that compound then others. I know that bananas in the AAA group, like Cavendish, Gros Michel, and several red varieties are the worst for me. But ABB group bananas, like Burro, I can usually eat without issue. Also, cooking the banana tends to break down that compound so I can eat cooked Cavendishs, but they have to be thoroughly cooked.
The banana intolerance is actually fairly common and develops as you age. When I was a kid I had no problems with bananas. Then in my 20s I started getting cramps when I would eat a banana, and it's just gotten worse since then. I've known several people with the same problem, and the funny thing is we all really like bananas and hardly ever get to eat them.
Entiox Is there a name for this allergy or for the compound? This sounds like a good thing to research in the free time :D
@@Entiox Ah that's interesting... The Pitogo is in the ABB group I believe, so this one is probably okay if thats the case. I don't especially care for the burro raw, but do like them cooked.
@@human3507 it's just called banana intolerance. Doing a quick look one site I checked said it's a reaction to one of the proteins being misidentified by the immune system as an invasive substance.
I love this channel. I really wish I could feel all those banana varieties. :) some of the names you mentioned like Praying Hands are very evocative. Hopefully in about 200 years someone will invent a way to do virtual reality tactile and taste technology. I know this is about 3 years old but hey, I don't care.
Oh yes! Praying hands bananas!! I’ve been so curious about the flavor of those because they’re just so darn cool looking that if they’re at all worth eating I just have to grow some!
One of the weirdest banana cultivations
Those are so cute! Thanks for the Video! I would like to try all of those Banannas! They all look so cute! Keep up the good Work Jared! Thanks for sharing!
I might have to order a box of those bananas to taste and decide which ones to grow! Thanks for the cool video.
Us cat owners always have the coolest personalities 😏
You should take some of the green bananas and make patacones from them. They're delicious. Also, Vostok is too darn cute.
As much as I love fruit, I just cannot justify their prices
That shirt is awesome, and your videos are awesome ♥
thanks!
Bananas are amazing. I look forward to watching you go bananas in future videos, especially with those praying hands bananas. Very interesting.
Hey seeing this video reminded me, I recently got some bananas from the super market labelled as "Baby bananas" and was wondering what they were, at first I thought they were dwarf cavendish bananas but I don't think they are, flavour wise they're really sweet, seriously soft and here's why I don't think it's a dwarf cavendish, it tasted a bit like squash.
Squash? how odd!
@@WeirdExplorer Like a butternut squash, here's a picture of it to help with identification. i.imgur.com/WCEobcZ.jpg
This channel is like a glimpse into an alien world sometimes
Yay for 60k
After watching this I need to step my banana game up 😂 thanks for all your videos
The mysore(sic) was marketed by Wal-mart several years ago as a strawberry banana. It didn’t catch on with anyone other than impulse buyers who wanted to try something different.
It would be cool if you could find and try Musa Ingens (the giant banana).
Damn! That is huge. I would love to find it.
J.R. Trevino Wikipedia claims the fruit is inedible, which seems a pity
I ordered the large box size, but still didn't get any praying hands bananas like I was so badly hoping. I did, however, manage to get something you didn't which is the big one that tastes like a cloud. I got 2 of those. I ate one so far, and it was mostly ripe and good, but the center was maybe a little greenish tasting and not cloud-like as most of the surrounding (I know some people like bananas slightly green). I'll let the 2nd rippen a little more before I try it and hopefully it will be the perfect ripe I'm looking for, but not too ripe.
Anyways, looking forward to your review of the praying hands. Maybe next time I'll try to get the largest sized box and hopefully get that variety...
A cloud is water vapor. So if something tastes like a cloud, that's not a selling point for me. That is, unless you're saying the flavor is pretty bland.
@Phillip Arpin
No, it has lightly sweet taste. Not too sweet, but not bland. But the texture is amazing, thick, light, fluffy banana. Possibly the best one I've tasted from the box so far.
Texture can go a long way, though. If you've ever tried a black sapote, chocolate pudding fruit, you'll know what I'm talking about. That one has an even less sweet taste, but the texture really makes up for it (it has a thick, amazing, pudding texture!).
i miss the "maybe an angel gets its wings if you hit the bell " comment. It always made me smile.
Great content you have
I Love bananas! 😍. Yes, Jared, even the Cavendish. Lol. Tfs
What I'd like to know is do these other banana varieties have about as much potassium as the Cavendish, per oz or whatever? I'm supposed to eat high potassium foods and Cavendish bananas are one of the highest you can find that are oxalate free (kidney disease so no spinach) but I've eaten so many that they make me nauseous. I'd be grateful for a new variety of banana that has all the benefits and less of the taste. Kiwis work too but the shelf life and growing season isn't anywhere near as good. You can generally get nice bananas year round because they keep so well in storage but kiwis don't keep as well.
Never a disapointment. Thanks.
Me, allergic to bananas: *carefully taking notes*
wow thats alot of episodes
Yep. No sign of it stopping either. plenty more fruit to review
Weird Explorer
Oh ok
I wonder how many fruit there really are, and i wonder if you would ever review a fruit youve already done (by accident)
Amusing banana variety.
"My head is a pitogo right now guys" jared-
another great video
That big clump of bananas looked like a baseball mitt. LOL
I am not sure of the name but when I went fishing a few years ago in the southern islands of Japan there were wild bananas which were extreme hard skinned and full of large bitter seeds.
interesting. Ive had seeded bananas before but the skin was pretty brittle. this must be another variety
@@WeirdExplorer These might be hardy bananas Musa basjoo grown for the fiber in their pseudo trunk.
So many cool things I've never heard of.
this man is unknowigly creating a fruit wikipedia
Wow!
Can you imagine the interesting smells on those mesh protectors? Happy kitty!
Not to mention the box, she jumps in and personally inspects each one
@@WeirdExplorer my most fervent wish is to know what my dogs & cats know by their noses! When my sister in Florida sends a box of her clothing discards ( she works in a law office & gets new clothes all the time) my babies must inspect both the outside of the box & each article of clothes. Last week was an unexpected bonanza, an entire box of shoes. Sniffing heaven! I've worked in animal care most of my life & I'm still astounded by their knowledge, insight, capacity for love & forgiveness & downright silliness! Much love brother & kitty! My e-mail is Mama Kittie & my grown daughter's nickname is "Baby kitty". We love our critters! My big males name is Emmett, little girl is Cozy. Give John a head scratch for me!
Whats with the quick screen clips? Like fight club style subliminals
uploading problem, definitely not trying to hypnotize everyone to get more subs
@@WeirdExplorer or is he... :)
I want to try all of these, I love bananas
Great video, it was funny to see you comment on Curiosity Inc
Holy potassium Fruitman! 😂😂🍌 enjoy
Wow this is The first time I see that ball shaped
banana You should try kepok banana series too
There are three of them
1. Regular kepok / yellow kepok
2. Ice cream banana / blue kepok
3. Black saba banana / black kepok
They look like brother and sister but different color and different taste and texture.
Cool, will try and find them
just signed up with miamifruit. thanks.
Nice, what did you order?
That’s awesome
Someday you should do what bananas make the best banana bread!
If you keep one ripe banana with the green ones, the gas from the ripe banana quickens the process.My family had a farm and bananas everywhere. If cargoes of banana is delayed for a few days, it a huge loss.
1:27 Call that "catcher's mitt bananas."
Just picked up 5 pounds of "thai bananas" in Chinatown for $1 a pound... they also had mangosteen, yellow and red pitaya, love this city!,
Cool shirt. Watched the whole video before I noticed.
some of these bannanas look good with some icecream
Turn them the other way to ripen so the bottom doesn't bruise. Or better yet, hang them 😁
I have a banana plant in my yard that gives bananas that are sort of lemony-tasting. They have hard seeds in them. I have no idea what banana variety it is. I’ve talked to the guy who planted the bananas there, but he doesn’t know, either.
Gary Cooper Oh cool! You might have a sexual banana! Those seeds might actually be fertile. Most bananas are sterile clones.

I grew up eating some of those bananas you got there already
Nice! where did you grow up?
Next paycheck I'm ordering from Miami fruit. I'm not waiting any longer.
Imagine getting a tarantula in one of these boxes
I just watched an unboxing video for bananas
Living in the future is great :D
Love your t shirt
I have wanted to order from Miami Fruit so many times, but sadly, they do not ship to Canada :(
That golf sized banana reminds me of my ex
😂😂🤣
OMG!!!🤣🤣🤣
You must of been frustrated
Like our President son, Eduardo Bolsonaro. Nickname: Dudu Bananinha... something like "tiny banana Ed".
The testemony is from an ex girlfriend.
Omg sis bless u tho 😂😂😂😂
Lol that hand banana
Awesome banana video but what's up with the weird subliminal flash at 9:37? I tried to pause the video on it, but it was too fast. lol
Its a flash of the title screen, must have been an issue uploading. Its not in the video file :/
@@WeirdExplorer I wondered if you were trying to throw a subliminal message at us lol. : )
@@danielmusick211 I'm starting to get ideas...
@@WeirdExplorer you didn't do it right, now I'm craving cat and I've got this strange urge to adopt...fruit?
No highly deadly black tarantula among them. Thank God!
I'm so jealous.
I wish we got more variety of bananas and fruits here
yo i love his shirt
I dream of being able to grow different varieties of unusual and tropical fruit for people to try in the UK and Western Europe, like the service Miami Fruit provides. I'm so jealous, I really want to try these =(
Just living vicariously through your videos as always Jared XD
AHA! Found a website selling tropical fruit in the UK...
JARED, your videos have actually been linked on the site so people can get an idea of what they're buying...I suspect the person who started the business might be a fan, as most of the fruits you've reviewed are on the site!
myexoticfruit.com/index.html#!/products/banana-variety-box/variant/577589
I mean the Cavendish tastes totally different from the Gros Michel, which was the main cultivar in the US up until it was nearly wiped out. Bananas just have so many different flavor varieties, I feel like people who say they don't like bananas should go out and try new and exotic ones, just to see, because they might change their minds!
6.23, random one frame of the opening
oh god i really wanna buy this
Mix two banana flavors together 🍌+🍌=😄
The mice-or- whatever banana lol sorry for the error in name spelling but we call that "Honey banana" in Jamaica
I'm going to see if Miami Fruit Co will send fruit to Illinois
If you guys want to learn more about the different banana varieties check out this website: www.promusa.org/tiki-index.php?page=Cultivar+diversity+portal&structure=Cultivar+diversity+portal&page_ref_id=15 They tons of info on bananas.
You have moments where you sound exactly like a less aggressive Louis Rossmann
I loved this unboxing of bananas! But I have searched high and low for the bananas that I ate while in Dubai, 20 years ago. They had an "imported from India" sticker, they were red, and were intensely banana-ish. They were1/3 the size of a Cavendish. The red bananas I see occasionally in the store in the United States, I don't believe are the same. Do you have any ideas about what banana species I might have eaten ?
Are you going to write a book with all of your fruit stories? This series seems very Bourdain with its emphasis on other cultures and food.
I got a double plantain once
I love varietal bananas how exciting! Also people make those comments! Emojis don't count it's got to be more than three words
Looks like Gros Michel banana but green
The big bunch? those are gold finger bananas.
2:12, cutes naners I've ever seen😆❤️❤️❤️❤️.
Ever had any spiders in your banana shipments? I heard you can sometimes get Tarantulas in the crates.
Try the pisang raja
Do the round small ones have seeds? They look a lot like the ancestral bananas
Fig bananas, fig bananas. Look at regular size nanas they're just crying for their mama.
The title screen popped Up in the middle of the video lol
thats HUGE!
Honestly even if I had the money to spend on a banana box like that, I'd be afraid I couldn't eat them fast enough and they'd go to waste. Guess I could risk potassium poisoning though, lol.
One box should be okay if you don't store them together since they ripen faster that way. I had TWO boxes sent to me. I separated the hands so they wouldn't ripen too fast and managed to get through most of them. The ones that did get very ripe went into the fridge and once I had enough, I made banana bread.
Ive cooked regular bananas when they were very green, they were ok to cook like a potato but they still had a bit of banana flavour so not quite perfect for that use. Whereas a proper cooking banana doesn't have that flavour to it.
