Time for another 4 hours of the weird fruit explorer! 😁
More like an all day binge
But it's 9:33
FINALLY A COLOMBIA VIDEO SO HYPE
however lulo is rarely eaten as is, it's mostly used for juices or a beverage called lulada which is macerated pulp with lime served chilled
also it's gritty because the fruit in the wild is really hairy and it can poke your fingers so they remove them
ooh I'll have to try it with lime
I LOVE LULADA SO MUCH
That's comercial lulo the wild lulo has more flavor and is sweeter but not much it is always sour and used in in juices with added suger or eaten as a chaser(pasante). The wild lulo is about half that size.
Weird Explorer: This weird fruit tastes like these four other weird fruits
Me: I need to know about ALL those weird fruits to understand this one
RUclips: Enjoy this endless loop of weird fruit content
Toucan Sam: I could smell this froot loop from space
im from bogota and hearing him say the name was hilarious
I'm from Colombia too and yeah, it's pretty funny 😂 but at the same time I'm really happy that he came here to try our food, it's kind of interesting
Is it pronounced like Tah-mah-ree-yo?
Haha yeah same
I loveee solanum berries. Since they usually grow within a year or so (similar to tomatoes in the same family), I don't have to wait years for fruit!
Sprinkle a little sugar on it as i did and try it!!! It will taste very different , very delicious
Really appreciate your input on all the fruits and fauna
Tomacco
That explains why I couldn't stop eating these.
Hi Weird Explorer ! I Love all your video's ! You tell me about fruit's that I've never heard of. It's amazing to hear about and see things that look as if you went to another planet to retrieve ! My questions to you is just exactly how many different fruits are there on planet Earth ? And how many of them have you sampled so far ? Also do you think it's possible that one of them fruits might contain the cure for cancer or some other human ailment ? Thank you for everything you do and keep up the good work ! You are quite an amazing character !
Thanks Nate. I've heard its something over 70,000 species of fruit. But when you get into cultivars... each species can have well over a thousand and that number is growing. Even if there were a market somewhere that magically had every fruit in existence available for free and magically in season and properly ripened and prepared, it would still be impossible to review it all. I've had maybe 400 or so species I think, its hard to say since a lot of things are fruits technically that you wouldn't think about... like corn. I think there are fruits that are helpful for certain ailments, but generally when there is a touted "miracle cure" I am extremely skeptical. I think some fruit may be helpful in the long run because it has certain vitamins or whatever, but I am doubtful about magic pill fruits that are supposed to quickly eradicate an ailment.
Cool. I can't wait to try one. Also called naranjilla, beautiful plant. Mine has yet to fruit. The plant looks almost identical to cocona. The cocona fruit is supposed to be similar, too, but even better!
Agh I hope to find a cocona soon!
Had that in when I was in Bogota, makes such a delicious juice!
I saw some seeds being sold online and wasn't sure if they'd be worth growing. From your description I'd like to say it is defiantly worth growing. I love citruses, especially Meyer lemons, lemonade lemons & kumquats as well as kiwis while they're still tough & tart. Very help full description, thanks Jared.
From what I learned of naranjillas (lulos) is that they are covered in nasty spines, but I've never mined getting pricked for something delicious.
Yeah would be worth the trouble I think :)
*Definitely
I made my "shoping" in that plaza for several years, it's kind of medium size plaza, but there are bigger ones. Lulo is supposed to eat as juice adding sugar or peppermint or mint, very refreshing.
Bigger? In Bogota?
Well to be fair, lately the "plazas" have been disapering in Colombia because people find those ugly and outdated, people prefer malls and big stores, so the remaining plazas became smaller every year, but there still existing some, the biggest is "Corabastos" but it's very noisy and sometimes unorganized, but it's one of the biggest in Latinamerica after the main plaza in Mexico City. Maybe those links are interesting to you, I think there are english version too goo.gl/cALr4Q
I watched this video when it first came out...today I finally found a lulo product in my area, imported from Colombia!
HiT juice drink, and while it is mixed with pear and orange the taste is spot on to what he's talking about. The tomato flavor is there but not the savory part, there's kind of kiwi-ish flavor there? i recently tried cape gooseberries and this drink tastes almost exact to that.
Jesus man, my mouth was watering the whole time watching
I wish I could grow it but it gets too hot here in Florida. Naranjilla is a very high elevation equatorial plant so it neither tolerates high temperatures or freezing temperatures. It grows in a climate with cool but frost-free nights year round.
Hey Jared you should try Akebi fruit from Japan (purple and white varieties). I just bought some from the Japanese shop in Kuala Lumpur
Ever have tomato jam? It's an interesting way to eat tomatoes, but I like it.
I saw solanum and my little outerwilds loving heart melted
This video inspired me to try and grow naranjilla in Canada, and I think I just might succeed! It's not quite the middle of summer yet but there's already flower buds on my plants. Here's hoping that if I do get fruit, that they ripen. Wish me luck!
Wishing you luck my friend, here’s to a bountiful harvest!!❤🎉
I'd love to bring over a granadilla all the way to you in the us. A big part that this channel is missing is listening to the locals and ask them how they use the fruit. (not on all videos but on some).
How much are the avocados where you are? Thanks☺
Try a Cocona. It is a similar fruit that is related to the Lulo.
More fruit more fruit more fruit more fruit more fruit more fruit
I'm wondering what the pulp would taste like made into a sorbet.
Multiple varieties of this can be found on rareseeds.com
Was thinking about growing it. If you look up pictures of the plant it has huge thorns on it everywhere. Multiple people on the seed website reviewed it saying "really good but these thorns hurt so bad so I will not grow it".
Ooh I didn't know that. Maybe put some thick gloves and goggles on before picking :D
lulo has like small "spikes" to defend against bugs and small animals, it's just a little bit annoying, but don't worry it's not dangerous, this plant grows better in no so hot places, between 15-20 °C
The spikes can be avoided quite easily. Only the thickest ones underneath large leaves are rigid enough to actually hurt you. Brambles are much worse, in my opinion.
looks so much like tomato, but i get how that would make a delicious juice!
My favorite drink to get in Columbian Restaurants is the Batidos de Lulo.
colombian
@@DJTATANSANABRIA They spelled it right.
@@AmazingAutist correct spelling in English is Columbian but us Colombians prefer the latter
solanum sounds awfully like something I read in the zombie survival guide :O don´t eat that shit, bra!
Hi love your reviews...was wondering have you tried the finger lime and susong kalabaw
yes! Fingerlime will be posted in a few months when I start uploading my CA videos. I haven't had susong kalabaw but it looks really interesting, do you know where its available?
probably in the Philippines [manila market]
Hey, are black lemons a thing?
there is a spice called black lemon, but i dont think there are black lemons growing fresh in nature
Weird Explorer omg senpai noticed me. Lol yea threadbanger did a video on black lemonade and the lemons looked legit so I was confused.
that looks really tasty
What if you cook this fruit? Pan fry the slices?
Have you tried Akebia?
nope, I'd like to though
This is the same thing as a Naranjilla, right? Just another word for the same fruit?
yup
Naranjilla o lulo is ecuadorian
Solanum quitoense is De Quito Ecuador
Its natural habitat isnt bound to political borders its from Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Brazil, etc
lulo is cool ahaha I just take juice of lulo for breakfast lol
Nice!
Picked up a Akebi fruit that day. Doesn't taste like much, kinda tasteless, but if you google the pictures, they look fantastic. It's Japanese and probably hard to find outside Japan. Maybe a Japanese viewer can hook you up with one.
I grew a plant from Akebia Quinata, didnt know it needs the pollen of another plants male flower, so i got rid of it, in a humane way, it lives in the forest now and thrives like crazy xD
I've been wanting to try it but it wasn't in season when I went to Japan :( one day...
IndicA BerZerK If you don't live in its native range and it "thrives like crazy" in the forest, you probably live in one of the regions where it's an invasive species. If so, please remove it from the wildland.
I live in a Forest and planted it next to another Akebi ;-) dont you worry. This Forest called Eilenriede was given to us citizens of Hannover for our help in a Heir War of Lüneburg in 1371, with the permission to use it for our own good, aka plant fruits mushrooms herbs veggies etc, we have a local ranger he is awesome and shows people what you can eat, plant and whats toxic etc.
Really wishing you could visit Brazil (I'm not brazilian)
I'll get there one of these days :)
Pls come 2 brasil
Is the rind edible?
I'm not sure actually. I would imagine it probably won't kill you but won't taste good.
I've had lulos in my garden last year, a smaller variety, tho. Feels like a slightly thicker tomato skin.
It tastes between kiwi, grapefruit and cucumber
I thought lulo was weird. Sour tomato flavor. Only good with milk, sweetened in a juice. That's the Colombian preference for a reason!
If you are in Colombia, maybe you can visit Arví Park, www.google.com.ar/maps/place/Parque+Arv%C3%AD/@6.2891079,-75.5093481,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x33ed6dc5217b782c!8m2!3d6.2891079!4d-75.5093481 , there is a myrciaria coronata there, it is a jaboticaba species that is somewhat different to others... and maybe there are another interesting species...
Thanks for the tip. I'm already back, but maybe next time :/

Soft fetus skull review.
Lynx Hearthweru haha nasty
👍
Es tomato de Arbil
Brasil 😉
Lu lo is also weird the fuck for me it's like so normal
Haha, yeah its almost entirely unknown to us here in the US. I don't mean weird as a negative at all, lulo is wonderful.
Looks like a tomato
Same genus
Like Jhared said, same genus, they are all Solanum family aka Nightshade, just like tomatos, potatos, eggplants, tamarillo, naranjilla, physalis, pepino, tzimbalo, just to name a few edible ones.
yep and there's a ton of poison ones
