🤔I’d like to know if there’s been *any* attempt to transform coffee fruit into something “produce”-worthy. Think of the difference between wild peaches and domestic one. No attempt-none at all?-has been made to breed a “bigger” or “fleshier” coffee cherry? 🤔What would be the chances of accomplishing this with _current_ biotech?
@@Sedgewise47 that's great question ⁉️ man !! I'm wondering if anyone breed more hybrids rose family fruits species like crossing peach with cherry 🍒!!!
Someone asked me once if peacocks lay eggs, and I first thought "of course they do, they're birds." But then I realized that was like asking if roosters lay eggs. Of course peacocks don't lay eggs, peahens lay eggs. But I don't think they were trying to trip me up, I think what they really meant was "do peafowl lay eggs" and of course they do, they're birds.
@@WeirdExplorer try pepper kawakawa of new Zealand!!! And don't forget Jared to try the new hottest pepper x and pepper Trinidad scorpion butch t . Naga Viper pepper . Infinity chili and for the least Trinidad moruga scorpion 🦂🌶️ peppers!!!!
After watching you narrate the peacock courtship, I must absolutely demand that when Sir David Attenborough is no longer with us, you must take up his mantle. The coffee beans were cool too!
Ate some weird fruit the other day and thought “I really hope weird fruit guy is still making videos” and I checked and you are!! So happy I remembered this channel, I have been watching your vids nonstop in my free time this week :) excited for more to come, they are always unique and delightful
I feel like a lot of times when a fruit has hype behind it like "Tastes like peach!" "Tastes like froot loops!" It's usually a fruit that tastes like someone in a room next to you opened a box of froot loops, or whispered the word 'peaches' That's my experience anyways, most of the time. Sometimes it's surprising but...ya know...when you go into something expecting that huge hype, you're gonna be let down anyways
The concept of making tea out of various coffee parts is new and fascinating to me. Thank you! Also, there is an episode of "The Venture Bros" in which eating coffee berries did not turn out so well, so this vision of you eating coffee berries made me laugh for completely inappropriate reasons. Thank you for that, also.
Off the beaten track , have you tried the fruit óf the "Kawakawa Bush" to eat ? It's currently ripe , on bushes in NZ , where íts natíve to . , The fruít is a variety of flavours going along it , it's also got small hot seeds . The leaves are medicinal as well . The fruit doesn't travel well and ís best eaten fresh ,
If it's got sugar you can ferment it. If the drink is from grain it's a beer. If it's from fruit it's a wine. You can definitely make a wine out of coffee cherries. Don't know how good or bad it would be but you could do it.
@@Sedgewise47 I don't doubt someone has tried, and maybe even succeeded, and yeah, maybe there's good reason it's not a mass commercial product, but it just seems like such a good idea to me. Edit: I did find coffee cherry wine for sale online, and it's expensive, so maybe it's just hard to make for some reason.
A few years ago my wife and I visited the Janson Coffee Farm, Tierras Altas, in the beautiful mountains of Chiriqui Provence, western Panama. I had always heard the coffee berry called a "cherry" and I took the opportunity to taste a ripe one. Trust me, folks, it isn't a cherry at all, and the one I chewed in Panama had almost no pulp or flavor. It tasted actually a little soapy. The thin covering over the coffee bean is dried and sold in Panama as "Coffee Tea", and it takes a lot of it to impart any flavor at all to a cup of hot water. By the way, if you can afford to travel, Panama is just about the most beautiful place I have ever seen, profuse with ripening fruit and flowers. Western Panama's climate is almost perfect, the people there are very friendly, and the American dollar is accepted currency.
I seeing your videos since a long time ago and I just notice you came to Portugal, today! I have a collection of subtropical and rare fruits. When I want to know the taste of one fruit, I see your videos. Probably I have some fruits your never tried, at least some varieties. When you come back?
Now I finally know what creature was making that sound in all them old jungle and Tarzan movies I watched as a kid growing up. Peacocks, 🤣I never knew what animal it was before now. Cool! Neat to know you can eat the flesh of the ripe coffee bean. 👍I think people will make tea out of almost anything🙃. What I want to know is why some one decided one day, out of the blue to dry and then roast some coffee seeds(beans) and then grind them up and brew a tea with them . 🤔
thanks! I wasn't able to be a part of "the big swallow" when all sword swallowers swallow a sword at the same time. but I did perform it that night and told my audience about it being a special day.
In the UK the farm across the valley from where I lived had peafowl and the bred there. Then they would disappear for the winter to come back in the next spring again. They had about 6 or 7 birds and I would come across them about up to a dozen miles away. The birds would roast at the farm and there would be the peacock call all summer. 5 miles down the valley there was a zoo where the male lion would roar in the evening up to about midnight. So, British countryside, peacocks and lions. it was a part of the country where there had been sightings of large cats, and one night I actually crossed paths with one. I saw it in the light of a street lamp heading the same way but a little ahead of me- full growth female lion. I never thought to be warry of it from that night on, or report it, but I don't think our paths crossed so close again. My younger brother and his fiance saw the same animal in the days light- his dog started bounbing towards a 'cat' and they had a hell's own job of calling the dog back. 10 lbs or 250 lbs, a cat is a cat, dogs chase cats, right?
You can also swallow a bunch of raw coffee beans and let your G.I. tract process them. Collect your effluence with a net, wash the beans and then sell them. It's gross but it's like the civet coffee and some people actually do this. 😛
@@WeirdExplorer Did you never find wattleseed? That is better then coffee when done right. Chocolate/hazelnut/coffee flavour and plenty of body. Usually Acacia victoriae, I think.
I’ve been to that garden recently, it’s only partially covered and unheated even in winter. I assume if anything that is meant to protect it from the dry heat and strong sun of the Mediterranean summer rather than the winter though. It gets pretty brisk up on the mountains where Arabica grows natively.
I’m sorry man, you are a great independent artist/educator and I wish you didn’t have to worry about things such as that. But maybe feel flattered that it keeps happening, you consistently make great videos and educate and entertain a lot of people. Hope I didn’t bring you down by letting you know.

Welcome back
depending on variety they'll taste very different, too. Apparently gesha coffee cherries taste a lot like peach!
Interesting!!

Ooh, I'd like to try those coffee-teas!
Your color commentary on the peacock's courting was freaking hilarious, Jared! XD
We eat this at childhood a lot becouse we have big trees
yo that peacock was goin off 😂
Was not expecting a peacock documentary. Can’t say I’m disappointed, however.

Making tea out of coffee just to spite it
I wonder if there is caffeine in coffee rind and coffee leaves, and how much compared to roasted coffee beans? 🤔
i have 5 peacocks they only get noise in the spring around here, i enjoy having them around except for the poop on my sidewalks and porch
Oddly this video reminded me of my coffee shop/club night days. Ahh, youth

It depends the coffee variety, the Arabica coffee you can eat the fruit and it is sweet.
Arabica is the species, not the variety
@@tommihommi1 How I read it the guy is saying depending on the variety of Arabica coffee.
Now I finally know what creature was making that sound in all them old jungle and Tarzan movies I watched as a kid growing up. Peacocks, 🤣I never knew what animal it was before now. Cool!

The descendants of the peacocks you heard in those movies live in San Pedro and San Diego areas now. They live wild and are a protected species.
Thanks for this video! 🙏
Nice voices of peacocks and roosters.
Best channel on the tube!
My volume was way too high for that peacock scream, my god.
Not just cocky- peacocky
Do you remember which garden was this? There are at least 3 different botanical gardens in Lisbon eheh
cascara is another word for the coffee cherry. I'm writing it here because I always forget the word.
id love to see the Sumatran beans as well i hope to grow in a green house one day it would be amazing.
Happy Sword Swallowers Day, Jared!
thanks! I wasn't able to be a part of "the big swallow" when all sword swallowers swallow a sword at the same time. but I did perform it that night and told my audience about it being a special day.
I didn’t know coffee even grew north of the tropics.
I have one of the plant i'm never seen the friut put one of the coffee plant died out.

Why do the plantations discard the fruit? Why not make a jam or syrup to sell?
Nutty, sweet, raisony, soysauce, starchy, with a bit of cranberry-acidity.
At least that's what coffee cherry always hit me as
That lady was wearing pea hen colors...

you know seeing peacocks now makes me think that the dinosaurs we've grown up with were far more silly than ferocious 🤣
I wonder if coffee cherries could be fermented and either be a wine or be distilled into a liquor....
Yes, but the labor to gather the cherry flesh makes it unreasonable, so it's a rare quaff.
how could we make wine from coffee cherries
@@defne3476 Crush the fruit, add water, add yeast, then wait.
Peacock tinder lol
Poor peacock he should have tried wooing her with seeds.
Does the fruit, minus the seed, also have caffeine?
It does! much less than a cup of coffee though
@@WeirdExplorer Thanks!
I wonder if there is caffeine in coffee rind and coffee leaves, and how much compared to roasted coffee beans? 🤔
There is but it's less. there's a review on the channel. check the archive at www.weirdexplorer.com
Can you use other seeds like we use coffe seeds??
You can use chicory root.
yep! check out this series i made many years ago:

@@WeirdExplorer Did you never find wattleseed? That is better then coffee when done right. Chocolate/hazelnut/coffee flavour and plenty of body. Usually Acacia victoriae, I think.
I mean... Coffee cherries are eaten by lots of animals... Because that's how we have gut fermented coffees. So there must be something to it.
does this coffee grow outdoors in Portugal or in a greenhouse?
Growing inside a greenhouse sponsored by the portuguese coffee brand DELTA at Jardim Botânico Tropical in Lisbon

The audio is crisp and the vibe of this video is really cool. you should eat noni again
So mean
i want to travel with you
I do tours now! weirdexplorer.com/tours
If ☕ coffee is somewhat of a natural laxative, did eating the coffee cherry make pooping easier? ☕ 🍒 💩?
then im adding coffee cherries to my omeletre for my morning 💩
is that cactus a Peruvian apple?
sure looks similar to it
Yes. You can find it at Jardim Botânico Tropical in Lisbon
anybody else kinda scared of peacocks after watching NOPE??? 😅
Weird History of Foods used shots your akee fruit video, I hope they got your permission.

I remember trying to arouse women by shivering my tailfeathers. That was the worst. For all involved parties.
the origins were of goats eating the berries....coffee
😂😂😂
The female peacock is a peacunt,or am I misinformed?
Looks an awful lot like what used to be in coca cola
Cereus cactus
Lol
