    Vostok playing with the imbe was easily the cutest thing ever. Normally cats don't care much about fruit. Maybe she just loves you so much, she's developing an interest in your interests!

      She likes to be involved. I should really have her do a scale of one to ten on how easy a fruit is to bat around,.

      Some cats like fruit for the texture (though they can't taste sweet flavour). Blueberries are safe for cats, some like them as treats!

      My kitty Emil went crazy as soon as he got a whiff of ripe cantaloupe. Many a time I found half a cantaloupe on the counter with a deep circular hole that he had rasped out with his tongue. My BOY!

      @jimmyjimjim2686 3 года назад

      Way late in commenting but wanted to share that is a smart kitty because hot peppers got their originally in the wild to stop mammals from eating them since mammals teeth would destroy the seeds. The animal that propagated them best was birds because their digestive system didn't kill the seeds. So definitely smart kitty

      Funny you should do this video now, I got some imbe from Miami fruit a week ago, and when I looked it up on RUclips, there is not much on it. Was surprised to see you hadn’t reviewed it, glad to see it here now, lol. My favorite fruit is the purple mangosteen, since discovering it, I’m very motivated to try every garcinia I can. My take on this fruit that yes, it’s very tasty, but not really worth the effort. Did you taste a kind of nutty almost cacao flavor when scraping teeth on the seed? An interesting fruit, but again, not really worth the effort in my opinion.

    @notmyworld44 5 лет назад

    You can quantify bitter, sweet, sour, but you can't quantify the complex terpenes in a fruit. That boils down to the flavor of a fruit being really indescribable, but you are doing a really good job of attempting it.

      Yes! Depending on your location they can be grown in zones 10 and 11. You might be able to get away with 9b if you protect it from cold. I have a couple small ones that have survived two San Diego winters with no problems! They do grow painfully slow while small though.
