I’m from Sarawak, Borneo. Each time I visit a different town or village, there’s always some new fruit or vegetable I have never seen before.
in my area noni was called something that could translate "shit that fall from a tree " but they are used for medicine
Where are you from?
In my area noni was called something that could translate "small turds will some day in the future rule the world" but they are used for depression.
hpekristiansen to worsen it?
@@Y2JFanboy No - to start one.
Noni smells like sewer. Impossible that something like this could be good...
Strawberry shortcake banana?!!! Need. What is life.
They are my favorite banana I've found. Really amazing
Pisang Kelat Keeling I think. I supposedly have one potted but we will see
@vin 950 the amount of banana varieties in any tropical country is huge. Most banana varieties are small and they have seeds too. The Cavendish banana we get in western supermarkets is the strangest banana because it is uniquely long. There is probably a hundreds of types of bananas in India which are totally distinct from those in Borneo.
Hell yeah! The world needs to know about these.
I'm not a fan of banana fruit (i do like banana chips tho) but i wanted to try the strawberry-shortcake-banana too.
I like that some of the weirdest tasting fruits, are some of the best tasting fruits in your other top 10. Very open minded and appreciated 110%
Weird fruit explorer,
Aside from the informative and well spoken content I admire your lifestyle: swallowing swords, flying to Borneo and your unassuming elegant style are so endearing to me.
You are inspiring to me and are included on a fairly short list of erudite, informative and fun to watch channels on an otherwise, predominantly, brainless RUclips.
Again, thank you. If you're ever in Portland...
thank you Matthew!
Top 10 hardest to find fruit!
I like that idea!
Christopher Robins Would love to see that! It would make for an awesome Video! 👍 Great Suggestion! 👍🙂
How could you make that?
He most likely coundn't find them.
Sounds good!
Het, thanks for another interesting vid. The looks on your face when you eat these fruits (and I must use the term loosely) is priceless and tells all!
I’d love to try them myself. Fruit has always been my favorite food. But sometimes you make me wonder what I was thinking. But since I can’t do what you do. I guess I’d like to see more of the same. Some of these fruits look so bad I’m afraid they’d never get to my lips so I give you a genuine hand! Way to go,
I have taste all of them... And I like all of them, except Noni...
Nobody LIKES NONI
If they do... they are not human 😳
@@viiiderekae my granny loves to eat noni. Not the ripe ones, but the greeny raw ones.
Me too
9/10 of these are in Malaysia. What a surprise! I might get to try all these without even leaving the country! (once the pandemic is over ofc)
Visiting Malaysia is what inspired this channel. It's a beautiful country with so many amazing fruits
Jared, I suggest 2 rankings:1 Sweetest fruits , and 2, Original fruit tastes ( meaning those flavors that are fruty, hard to describe as not found in any other fruit, i.e. mangosteen )
I was waiting for your video. You are the true fruit master.
masterHigar Thanks!
You asked, I answer, love the compilations. Been binging the channel and it's a fun reminder of nostalgia!
Thankyou for the Video! Loved it! Would love to try all of those Fruits mentioned. You do great Work! Keep it up! Am watching a Marathon of all your Videos! Love them! Very interesting as I love Fruits and Vegetables! Again thankyou for all your hard Work, Sir!
I am appalled these videos don’t have more views. I hope this channel gets the recognition it deserves one day!
love how often you like fruits instead of turning your nose up at it, and i also like how you use "weird" as a compliment, because i agree with that.
i know this video isnt a perfect example of you exactly liking fruit, but its definitely a pattern throughout your videos and .theres just a lot of people out there who are picky, and dont really like any fruit at all !
I like it when you do reviews of what you have tasted before. Thanks you, I enjoyed the review!
You're telling me you'd rather taste kitty litter than the bananas in my kitchen? RUDE!
Strawberry shortcake banana...! I really do need to get to SE Asia.
they're the best!
DUDE! You are awesome! I love your personality n genuineness
I like your Top 10 Video's, being a gardener I follow your video's to get new fruit ideas. I do love the way you present the fruit, but I do love it when you show the trees and talk about them as well. If I could have more tree information I would love that Jared. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Kelly. I get the majority of my fruits from markets, but when I find trees I'll most definitely feature them. Thanks for the input!
I really enjoyed your Paw Paw festival video, Looked like your had fun. Prior to that video I did not know there were different varieties of them.
Awesome video. I have tried a very small sampling of the fruits you have. wish I could try more.
We usually eat santol with the rind... dip it in sea salt...
Where did that jentik name explanation come from? I think you got it wrong with jentik-jentik (mosquito larva), jentik only means "to flick" because like what you did in the video, you just had to flick the fruit to open it.
please if you haven't already, make a video of you favorite fruit in each category, favorite lychee, banana, mango, atamoya(what ever the belongs to) I haven't seen you try any figs that be awesome to.
I appreciate the actual reviews and descriptions of the fruits
Buddy your videos put a smile on my face. These top fruits are all so different than what us poor Americans are used to ... and when afar we seem to gravitate toward the familiar. If I get a chance to go to these areas you visit, I think you should make a kind of Fruit Tourist Guidebook. Even as an app, this would be an amazing addition to your awesomeness. Thank you a lot.
Great idea!
I’d buy that guidebook!
Wow I have got to grow that Pisang banana, it sounds incredible!
absolutely worth the trouble.
Richard pisang means banana
pisang keling means Keling Banana
Thank you. That actually helps a lot. I know where to get it now!
I meant to thank you!
I read this book, "The fruit Hunters", and it told about this government agency (U.S.D.A.?) that had these weird fruits that turned up, mutations, over the years. They had this one orange tree that tasted like Chicken soup, and it had like noodles inside.
I enjoy the videos but can’t find the pattern page. You certainly are much more fun to listen to than the current news. Thanks.
Watched I lot of your videos but didn’t see that you made one of European wild strawberry. That is my favorite
10:21 if you peel the skin a little bit you can actually eat the skin if you dip it in soy sauce. You are right there are different varieties of santol the large and orange ones are sweet
Engkala usually fermented with sliced shallot and onions plus chili, poured with warm water, let it stay for few days and you can eat it. It's still taste weird but it's usually go like sambal but with a lot of water.
Another great video. Thanks Jared. :)
livesimplifiedlife any time :)
Did you have any drastic intestinal issues by trying all these strange, weird tasting, weird looking exotic fruits?
Only once from eating a soursop in India. Otherwise so far so good.
@@WeirdExplorer have u tried ciku or kedondong in malaysia?
in Mexico I had small red bananas those were dam good. And they have also lots of cooking bananas some of which are sweet enough to eat like that once super ripe.
These videos are more shareable than a single fruit review
I was about to mention dabai then boom you had it:) we usually ripen dabai in soy sauce, it tastes like avocado with olive touch. Very nice.
Various "health food" companies were pushing Noni juice some time back. I tried it, and to me it didn't taste like cheddar cheese vomited onto a lemon. My take on Noni is that it tastes like dirty socks freshly taken off of someone who has extremely stinky feet.
The faces you make are just priceless! :D Greengardenguy1 did a video on santol recently. He grows a lot of this awesome stuff in Hawaii. You would love this guy. 200 fruits already? wow. Time flies when you're having fruit!
Thanks, yeah its been a long road so far and no signs of it ever ending
i love this channel
I really like that picture in the background.
Man i love these videos
oh also would love to see the market and place your at, try shooting somewhere that show something interesting in the background,
It never works out well when I review in public, too loud and people will often shout, stare, whirr their engines, etc..
That torch ginger fruit is called panaon in our area. We used to eat it when we were kids..
Love the vids
I love videos like this!
thanks!
The santol fruit sounds like it would be good cooked in a stew with chicken and other local wild plants and herbs.
It is used in the Philippines for cooking soup with either fish (milk fish, salmon, etc) or pork called sinigang and some other local vegetables and spices.
I love the top tens!
So nice to hear that. I'll make more in the future :)
Those seeds inside the dabai sound like they would be awesome if you could cultivate them at scale and roast and salt them. It could be like a very interesting, deeply-flavored nut.
I don't know why, but every time he roasts noni i cry in laughter.
I would love to see you eat a common fruit like apple or banana & describe the flavor so i can get a better understanding of how you describe fruits that i haven't had before
I was lucky enough to try Santol on a recent trip to Maui and I'm glad I got the other type haha. Mine tasted tarty like an early ripe strawberry packed with that green sour taste.
CurvalWorks gah. i need to try the sweet variety. it sounds delicious
Jared Rydelek I'm actually curious about the variety you tried now haha. I also can vouch for your Noni review, it makes durian taste like cotton candy. I've never turned my nose to anything new, but smelling a ripe Noni made me gag and I couldn't even force myself to try it. Hat's off to you for keeping it down.
Kecapiii. Love that. The way he express the taste is different wit what i taste. (last fruit)
Ay, are you Sundanese? 😃
@@kuroyuri04 yes
Top 10 Idea: Since you describe flavor and the human reaction to it so much, how would you define a list of fruits you tasted that you would eat to survive? Not from nutritional point of view(what you know about how much starch or protein they have aso), but just from an instinctual level based on the taste? Basically a situation where you are stranded on an Island that has all the fruits you tasted growing on it(because magic), and you have to rely on your senses to determinate which one you would go for.
John Smith Top Ten Survival instinct fruits. I like the sound of that
@@WeirdExplorer hope you've done this. Very interesting
Have you ever tried mirabelle? It's a small round yellow sweet prune, harvested in N-E region of France called Lorraine.
I haven't, sounds interesting though.
My family comes from Masantol... You guessed it
they used to grow Santol there!
Talking about durian, here in West Borneo, when it comes to it’s season, one big fruit costs like $2,5 , even cheaper, my father likes it more bitter, but i like the sweet one, luckyly my father knows which one it is bye checking the skin.
And yes Pisang Keling is the best banana for me, it’s so yummy!!
Damned good vid!
thanks!
Hi Jared.Do you ever try Shipova fruit (Sorbopyrus auricularis)?
I haven't! I'll keep an eye out for them, looks interesting
I like your top ten lists. When you said Ginger Fruit made you want to sit down and think, I laughed out loud. Odd thing to say about an odd friuit. I think a long departed family member of mine used to put a bit of cinnamon in her secret family bread and butter pickle recipe so I might actually like ginger fruit. Those stinky cheese vomit fruits sound awful. I just bought some Jack Fruit to try. I'm going to make jack Fruit faux pulled pork BBQ. It's either going to be awesomely epic or really disappointing. I hope you're having a great time in Africa, be safe!
Thanks Hanna! Yeah a little cinnamon in pickles is pretty good!
Have you ever tried the blue Java banana (aka the ice cream banana) I'm curious if it's flavor matches its name?
I haven't. Apple Bananas do taste like apples though
Im surprised that you did not include miracle berry. A fruit that, to me, taste like the orange push-up icecream bars that I ate as a kid but with the added weirdness that for about a half hour after eating it, sour fruits taste sweet.
Also, I question the inclusion of peanutbutter fruit. I have many of these little trees in my garden because they reproduce from seed with no effort and will produce fruits even in the shade of my bigger fruit trees. Although I thought the flavor was about 85% like peanut butter the first time I tried it, the more I've eaten it, the less I think it taste like peanut butter. Although you may have encountered it in SE Asia, peanutbutter fruit is native to South America.
Saw palmetto berries are also a good candidate for this list, although they might just belong on the list of "10 grossest fruits".
This is a great top 10
Thanks! I'll have to do an update some time.
@@WeirdExplorer ... yes: weird explorer should by default have a weird top 10.
My mom once tried ripe noni juice (fresh from the tree, as my grandmom had the tree) as a diabetes medicine. she said it tasted so bad she prefer using encapsuled extract bought from the drugstore
The ‘chicken soup’ one brought an image of the full course meal gum from Willie Wonka lol but I think these are their versions of our Squashes, cucumber, Eggplant, Okra, etc which are savory fruits not thought of as fruits 😉
Durian is something I would love.
interesting watching this after watching some of your newer videos, seems like you are much more open minded about different tastes than you were when you made this video.
This video is suddenly on my recommendations. Anyways, I'm from Miri, Borneo but currently living in Scotland and the Pisang Keling banana is my favourite of all bananas. It's pretty much the only banana I'll eat. Yes,I'm a banana snob. So the only time I'll eat bananas is when I'm visiting my parents back home. Luckily for me my dad has a fruit orchard. My other favourite fruit would be the Salak but usually it's foraged in the wild. They look like dragon eggs and they are sweet and a bit tart and crunchy like carrots or nectarines that are not quite ripe.
My computer changed the word patron into pattern for some reason. I’d like to give you your well earned dollar.
haha here's a link: www.patreon.com/weirdexplorer
6:45 That is weird..." Pasaint Banana" fra Borneo look very much like Platano Topocho in Colombia- also de flavor described can be aplied- kind of straberry/banana- we eated raw but mostly we eat them like fried or cooked like Plantain- maybe they are related :)
I ordered 3 pisang keling plants because of you. lol
please reviewing most sweet, most sour or bitter taste of some fruit please.
Good idea, I may do that once I have a larger log of episodes to choose from
Try looking for a durian variety with larger spikes, it's more custard like and has a caramel like flavour. I found some of them in the Philipines
(Negros Occidental)
strawberry shortcake banana reminds me of a strawberry ice cream I had as a kid that I mistook as banana flavour
Can u do a top ten sweetest fruits!
Hi Jared, love your show! How do you spell that strawberry shortcake banana? Need some I live in Puerto Rico and want to start collecting the best bananas..maybe I can find seeds or a tree Simeone can send me.
Pisang Kelat Keling.
I've heard it refered to only as Pisang Keling. But maybe it is shortened from Pisang Kelat Keling. That is the Malay name by the way. I scoured the internet trying to find an English name for it and found nothing.
Newlight Forward Pisang Keling..I ❤ pisang keling
10:35 - the face tells it all 😅
Now I need to try a Noni. 😂
I love santol. ❤️❤️❤️ My uncle used to cook santol meat with Saluyot and it tasted like pork meat. 😁😁😁
Jared, do another ten dilicious fruits!
I might do another one at 200 videos :D
awesome!
I love durian but i can only get it frozen
Santol making my mouth water.
Try a top 10 of fruits that you cooked with
7:37 One time my family and I went to Hawaii and there were some noni fruits there. We recongized it from the brochure, but didn't know anything about it, so I picked one and put it back in our car. It started stinking with a terrible smell. Terrible-but unique, I can't describe it. I decided I'd wash it and have a bite. It was disgusting.
Make a top ten most sour fruit please
Anyone else notice that the list ended at #2? lol
me
Yo Jared try the Luo Han Guo or momordica grosvenori it has medicinal purposes and used in Chinese medicine and it is edible and has 300% sweeter than regular sugar
Ah yeah Monk fruit. I've seen that for sale dried at herbal medicine shops, but never fresh. Would love to try it.
Fresh ones are available at some China mountains
I gotta go back to China now :o
But wait read in Wikipedia first before going there
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siraitia_grosvenorii
I know a dude who lives in Borneo, i need to get him to send me a fruit package
With the Santal fruit, you should boiled it up, and ate it Ramen noodles.
that would actually be pretty good!
yes santol has a lot of variety the best variety on my opinion is the one we call bangkok
have you taste rambai fruit or tampoi fruit....
Yes I reviewed those in earlier videos
the last fruit shown here definitely reminds me of a mangosteen but in brown color.
Wow! Santol looks like mangosteen but without the stem.
I can't believe it, but they aren't from the same family!
Its true. Mangosteen, santol and also tampoi all look very similar but aren't related
whats the number one?
2. Ginger fruit
1. Santol
I've tried a bunch of santol varieties growing up in the Philippines but have yet to come across one that even remotely reminds me of chicken soup.
you haven't tried the sweet variety of durian. i forgot the name but it can be found in mindanao phillipines and it tastes like a mix of custard cream and cola.. very very tasty..
ive had durian before and i didn't like it.. the one i had in mindanao is the best one so far.
tega banega interesting! I've had durio kutejensis, which is very sweet and fruity. But nothing that tastes like cola
Hi Jared, do you work out of the country?
Craig yoshiyuki Sometimes I do :)
I guess santol would make a good alternatve to chicken stock in soup for vegetarians or vegans.
Yeah, the kind I had is often pickled with the skin and all and eaten as a savory item. I imagine with this flavor and texture it would be kind of meaty.
Jared Rydelek how do you limit yourself in terms of having broths in soups?
I avoid meat broths and stock. While traveling in a particularly vegetarian-unfriendly country, I tried relaxing my vegetarianism to allow broth... and I felt very sick afterwards. I don't think I can break it down easily anymore.
what in the world did you get that santol?... like wtf... how does it taste like that.. I already ate the two varieties for cooking and for raw consumption.. although both could be... they never tasted like that... chicken soup >.> I guess because I' have eaten them a lot of times but still odd.... odd description tbh I am eating one right now.
“It also kind of tastes like kitty litter.....still better than store bananas”
Some of store bananas have a plain flavor (because it's not ripe on the tree) and eating it is like eating creamy floral foam mixture. 😂😂😂
