Ok, so I ate a tablespoon of one tonight. I froze it, then used my cheese grater. Texture is that of baby food or even more liquidy maybe. It smells good, initial taste is sweet, then this nasty bitterness takes over your mouth. I was lucky enough to have nachos and a Dr Pepper handy to wash it down. Not sure how I'd mix this with anything. Still, supposedly has some medicinal benefits, so I'm going to try it for 30 days if possible. I'll repost if I live through this experiment.
This is hilarious; I've seen tons of these things squished on the road but I never would've thought to try to eat one! I'd probably try boiling or baking it to see if it softens at all. If it works, maybe make osage pie? The sticky stuff is latex, and I've always wondered how it compares to natural rubber. It would be interesting to let some dry and see if it dissolves in naphtha or heptane to make rubber cement. Totally respect the experimentation here, this is why I love your videos.
@@RinoaL Neat! Does the acetone solution work as rubber cement? Natural rubber doesn't dissolve very well in acetone, so the osage latex must be different in some way. Might be useful depending on how much you can collect from the fruits.
@@RinoaL Hmm. It's hard to tell; natural rubber gets like that once it's gone bad and started to decompose, but it could also be that there's some volatile components in the fresh latex that are making it sticky. I'd collect some more from the fruit and keep it around, and see what happens to it over time. Thanks for the updates though, this kind of experimentation is fun. I'll have to see if I can find one of those fruits myself to mess around with.
@@Simplifier0 The hedge apple clocks in with a pH somewhere around 4.5. That's pretty acidic. Maybe hitting it with a base to neutralize the acid could stabilize the latex?
We had a huge bois d'arc (Horse Apple) tree in our yard by our barn...We were told they were poisonous to us kids but the horses could have em. We would throw them over the fence as a horse treat. I can still hear "DON'T throw those at anybody's head!" BUT the trees have the worst thorns you've ever seen & my grandparents put our rope tire swing right under the 50 ft Horse Apple tree. (They lived next door)...We went barefooted to that swing tippy toed through the dry branches of thorns that had fallen on the ground. It wasn't until I was much older that I wondered WHY on God's green earth would they choose that tree of thorns for our beloved swing. It just had to be to make us tough! It worked! 😂 #GOODTIMES ❤
My grandma used to pickle watermelon rinds because the flavor is actually fairly pleasant but they’re pretty difficult to eat raw. Maybe you could try something similar with whichever part of the Osage oranges seemed most edible and flavorful. If not pickling, perhaps fermenting them like kimchi would work. If all else fails, they’re in the same family as jackfruit and breadfruit, so maybe if they could be baked or roasted like unripe breadfruit. In my botany classes they taught us they evolved to be eaten by giant ground sloths. After the sloths went extinct, the Osage and other tribes continued planting them and maintained groves of them to harvest the lumber for bow-making but didn’t do much with the fruits. They are rather prolific in their fruiting so I’m glad somebody is trying to find something useful to do with them.
I haven't been tempted to try tasting them, but our horses love them, especially if they've had time to ferment. I've been riding downwind of a large fall of hedge apples that were fermented and my mare just was about to disobey and head over to start feasting. Any she sees on the trail she will try to grab - a test of my alertness.
I wonder if the latex in the fruit could be used to add to the root resistance of the wood. The compound or multiple fruit is a syncarp of numerous small drupes, in which the carpels ovaries have grown together; thus, it is classified a multiple-accessory fruit. Each small drupe is oblong, compressed and rounded; they contain a milky latex which oozes when the fruit is damaged or cut. The seeds are oblong. The wood is heavy, hard, strong, and flexible, capable of receiving a fine polish and very durable in contact with the ground. Osage orange wood is more rot-resistant than most, making good fence posts.[
I heard of them being called hedge apples in my area. The wood is great for making cooking tools and tool handles. It is about twice as hard as oak with about the same strength.
I've seen people soak them then squeeze out the seeds and roast them but the seeds pop like popcorn so would probably be best popped in a pot with a lid. They're supposed to be very tasty. I read one guy's story of attempting to eat the fruit and he had severe gastric issues for 3 days afterward.
The wood from the Osage Orange tree/hedge is very durable and may make good mallets and bows for archery. The edibility of the fruit has been debated for years but bothers some because of the latex it contains. Only some people have issues with it though.
I appreciate you “ taking one for the team” on ye old “horse apple” consumption test. Growing up in North Dallas there were plenty around (mainly used as artillery projectiles between friends on Saturday afternoons) I never liked the texture picking them up. 😂🙏🏼🇺🇸
I’ve got 30 of those trees. The fruit is a pain in the ass but the wood is like steel. I have 50+ year old fence posts made out of the wood that are still standing.
I'm a woodworker and I quit on my first project of Osage orange after an hour. As you said that wood is more like steele, I could see the cost of blades and bits mounting quickly it made oak feel like butter hardest wood Iv messed with whew
Also, In MS and TX they call it a Bo Dark(?) tree and they are known for long lasting fence posts. Supposedly, the southern Indians used it for making bows & arrows.
Bodark is from the French trappers who called it bois d'arc, literally translated as bow wood. Stuff is hard as a coffin nail. It feels like it would be brittle when you touch it as lumber, but apparently it's got a hell of a spring to it. Like hickory on steroids, I've heard. Not worked with it myself, though I'd love to
After mulling on this a bit, trying to think of a use for the Osage orange, I came up with a suggestion. Blend it into a paste and brush it onto something rusty. It may work well as a natural rust remover. :D
The seeds are actually good, the fruit not so much , but they are pain to take out you could extract them and bake em . It's be interesting to see if you can make a contraption that can extract the seeds.
I took some of those when i was a kid they blew my mind my uncle told me they keep ants out of your house if you put a few small pieces in the corner in the exterior walls of your house
I remember watching a story about a Preacher/Pastor who was known for making cider, and why they grew Apple trees as a way to filter the water, even though he himself was a 'teetotaler'. So maybe the Horse Apple might be used in a similar way? And thank you for going through this, saving the rest of us....
I've picked up a sack full of these a couple different times in the fall to plant in the spring. They've always turned to mush and disintegrated thru the winter. Maybe yours aren't ripe yet? My cousin has them in their yard and says you can't cut them in the summer, must wait until winter when the sap is down to keep from gummimg up his chain saw.
Wikipedia says the fruit contains latex so that could explain allergies with some people. In any case, perhaps you could try extracting/making rubber from these? That would be interesting.
Hedge apples , the wood is excellent for the fireplace it has super high btu over most wood . next best wood to heat with is hackberry . i live in ohio we use the hedge apple split in half placed in the corners in and around the home to keep spiders away
😮Respects to your bravery. Good to know it's not completely nasty tasting anyway. Could be a decent way to avoid severe starvation. Is there a recipe you use to try to make it more appetizing? Thanks for sharing 🤗❤️👍🏽💯
Your reaction reminds me of when Data tested his emotion chip by getting a drink at the bar and ended up getting a drink he hated. XD Be interesting if you could derive a sealant from cooking it, maybe have a natural water-proofing? The black stuff on the ax sounds like black oxide from the acidity, could be a useful reaction for rust removal. Wonder what effect heat/cooking will have on it?
These things are really fascinating, but they’re a bit of a pest. There are dozens of them in the woods behind where I work. The fruit piles up there in the fall. Supposedly, Native Americans considered them a medicinal plant.
A guy who lived next door to my uncle told him about hedgapples he would cut them into 4ths like a regular. Apple and freez them when he wanted some he would take a table spoon or two full at a time by scrapping the core with the spoon then eating it
hey rinoa. you should make another video on fixing/desulfating batteries. i actually had a business in doing that for people and it was good money. i know exactly how to do it right and in your old videos i re watched tons of times, you are pretty knowledgeable on it.
Hi Rin , I finally was able to send your package .I had to take the bottle of Gentleman Jack out because they wouldn't let me ship it . The towels are for Bill with a small package inside of the towels . Happy New Year . Thank you for putting out great content . I appreciate all you put into it .....Sherry
I have seen something like this in eastern North Carolina, in Edgecombe County a Very long time ago. The fruit was more round and little less bumpy. Don't know if this is the same, or something like it..Looks icky to eat, but nice try though. Hi. I am Angie from eastern North Carolina but live in Colorado now...Hope everyone has a Safe, Blessed and Wonderful weekend ahead...❤️🤗❤️
I live on a farm - so a couple years ago, I picked them up for a company that does process them for a couple skin care companies. I actually used the oil - called One Drop Wonder - mixed in with moisturizer. You only use one drop and it helps with a variety of skin issues. They paid 10 cents a pound and I made a few hundred dollars - that's a lot of hedge balls! haha But there IS a use for them! (They are bad for big animals as they can cause choking when they eat them. Small animals just chew small chunks of them.)
We always called them monkey brains. Was told that help get the spiders out of the house. Was always told there in edible because on the forest floor there the last things to be eaten in the winter. But thank you for the taste test challenge. But the word is great for firewood has more BTU's then oak And a very strong would I made a hatchet handle out of a piece but it took forever to find a piece with a fairly straight grain.
Only deer and squirrells will eat the seeds. They tear them apart, leave flesh and eat the seeds. They lay around till early winter for a reason. The only time I see anything mess with them. Ones I seen then, have small blackish, brown ish seed
You are supposed to dry and grind it into flour. Not eat it as a fruit. If there were any Osage Indians left we could ask them what they used them for.
Looks like it would taste astringent and nutty, like an avocado pit/seed. Avocado nuts have a very high content of antioxidants, but need a 3 HorsePower blender to mix into a smoothie. Makes me wonder about a hedge apple smoothie and it's health benefits.
I'm going to extract those seeds & infuse them in olive oil. I'm going to get the flesh of the fruit & make a smoothie, adding nothing but honey 🍯. I'm going to do this Wednesday. Today is Monday. I'm going to wait a couple of weeks & let you know if I had any issues of any kind. Thank you for making this video, it was really helpful.
@@RinoaL you mean non fiction right? And how would you have lived forever when god said you will surely die. Thats the reason why we all die now cause eve was going eating stuff she shouldnt have
...and it's Oh-Sage like "what do you burn to get rid of evil spirits?", "Oh Sage!"... ...not like "massage," but like the Indian(Native American) tribe it is named after--the Osage.
They were very popular around the 1900s for all kinds of stuff but gradually the population of this tree is in decline because they've fallen out of favor anyway the seeds are good as well the wood is of high quality.
There is a simple criterion to estimate if a fruit/plant unknown to you is edible or not: is it cultivated ? Do they sell in supermarkets ? Is it a native food/dish on in a country on any continent ? If yes, then mankind has found out long time ago that it is, even if it needs a more or less complicated preprocessing. If not, it most probably is not. Of course, as with any fruit/vegetable/dish etc. it may be also a matter of preference/taste (like inuit deep fermented fish, chinese black eggs, durian or scots' haggis)
Yeah i've heard that from people now! I think it will be time for doing another experiment next year. Also I've heard some ways to make it eatable in a stew, unsure though.
Well it's been nice knowing you. Thanks. My condolences to your Mom. 🤮 But seriously, one way to test if something is edible is to tape a piece to the inside of your wrist for an hour or so. Then look for a reaction. Keep an eye on it for a few more hours. It may take a while for the toxins to show the effect.

You have found MONKEY BALLS. That is what us kids called them when we were young. The best wood for bows hands down.

The white Sapp is a latex/ adhesive. So it's technically poisonous or an irritant to some people. Just depends. Like rubber tree or gum tree

There is a simple criterion to estimate if a fruit/plant unknown to you is edible or not: is it cultivated ? Do they sell in supermarkets ? Is it a native food/dish on in a country on any continent ? If yes, then mankind has found out long time ago that it is, even if it needs a more or less complicated preprocessing. If not, it most probably is not. Of course, as with any fruit/vegetable/dish etc. it may be also a matter of preference/taste (like inuit deep fermented fish, chinese black eggs, durian or scots' haggis)
However that criterion leaves out a lot since there are many which aren't cultivated and should. But it does generally work in a basic sense, yes.
Try the toasted seeds
Ehm, it's not a good idea to eat a fruit with that white liquid, in general it means "poisonous"
I wonder if it could be cooked like young jackfruit
En algunos países o partes de llaman la fruta de mil sabores y/o olores.

If I where to eat it I would cut the green off and slice it up. Then fry it in salted butter with brown sugar.
